short answer, your mates an idiot

The pointer/labs are good working dogs, I cant see how a lurcher x will be any good though as they will be too slow for a lurcher, but also probably loose a lot of the pointing and gundog instincts too. Be a rough n ready hunting dog no doubt, your mates better off putting a good pointer/lab or GW pointer over her in my opinion.

Agree with the above.

The Lab x Pointer will be a handy dog, they are becoming popular and i know a few wont go passed them as all round versatile Gundogs and the Beddy Lurcher is without doubt a excellent and popular hunting machine.

 

But putting them together, all i can say is why?, what are you trying to gain from this, each parent is possibly a very good working dog in its field but how will they complement each other and which field will the pups belong to?

 

Other than Gundogs i am also into Lurchers and i like a nice cross breed like the above parents of this potential litter, but in my opinion these pups will be Mongrels and i dare say half the litter could end up in the pound.

Please think long and hard before committing yourself.

being honest ive asked him myself the same questions as i said im little nervous to how the end result would fair but he said he loves his lab/pointer but would something a little faster for the odd rabbit here and there but could still do its primary role aS a gun dog, there would be little waste as he wants 2 pups out of her and two other mates want one and he offered me one as a stud fee but i said he could line her for free but being honest not my cup of tea rest will be given away.

id tend to agree- pups could end up lab/bedlington ,pointer /whippet or any other possible weird combination of ancestors.A full pointer would be a better choice if you do intend to go down that road..I think labrodor blood would bring too much bulk to a 22 inch bitch.

They will only be 1/4 running dog, I wouldn't do it.

I'd have to agree on the above but let us know how you get on
