fox digger 1,086 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 i posted this on a similar topic a couple of weeks back, its my experience of full greyhounds. hope its of some use!just to add my 2 cents, ive had 4 full hounds in the last few monts to try get sumtin decent to breed a lurcher from, all got from local trainers, and all bitches, 1st........... track bitch, 2 years old, not upto scratch on track, shy, nervous. zero prey drive, no recall, dead loss, ran away one got a snap from charlie, even with other dogs. 2nd........... track bitch, 4 year old, won a couple of races, not hectic ped so not worth breeding pure breds from, gamey..ish.. bad recall, contrary with other dogs, fine on bunnies not for charlie. 3rd.......... track bitch, 4 year old same as above, best one i had got or so first impressions told me, great recall, great with other dogs, wanted to run on everything, first night on lamp first rabbit turned and down like a sack of shite, broke her ankle. starting to loose faith at this stage.. 4th......... 3 year old coursing bitch, kept getting to semi final at coursing but not any further, gamey out. jump wire, hit ditches, (not to hard thank god) straight back with bunny in toe, dinger on the lamp, and mad for charlie. at last sumtin worth breeding from. moral of story... greyhounds are like people, you will always get oddballs and ones that stand out in the crowd!!!

chartpolski 23,958 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Let's be fair here; a Greyhound isn't finished at two year old.... only the useless ones are !! A class Greyhound is only starting at two year old !! If you take a fighter or one that won't chase, at two year old, and start running it as a "lurcher", you may get a season or two of exiting running.... but be prepared for big vet bills and dissapointment !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

There are plenty of very good track dogs each year that are finished through injury by the time they are two years old. i think thats what he was saying mate, finished at 2 through injury so career over so in turn useless, obviously not useless for breeding but i dont think this chap is looking for breeding stock as he states worker. any dog retiring from track at 2 has a pretty serious flaw!!
