Track dog blood

[poacher3161 1,766]

after all said an done were far along now in the lurchers to never need to add greyhound blood again full stop.

in my eyes i know otheres will disagree but they greyhound can give nothing positive to a lurcher now, some say speed but why not use a generation courseing dog they have much more to offer, the greyhound is the weak link

Totally agree 100 pct.Going past first crosses baised on my exspeirience their is no need for further greyhound blood being introduced into an already greyhond baised lurcher.

Have to disagree DELL.Allways room for new blood bred with the right dog.I know your a lurcher to lurcher man as i am myself.But a small fast grey on a good proven dog.Can start a good line.

Maybe i was just unlucky the 3 times i bred back to greyhounds but to be honest better pups were produced [bANNED TEXT] i bred out of a small coursing bitch that came off a well known coursing farmer in the area than those out of two bigger bitches that came of the track.

And i agree more often they do.But get the right dogs together and you have the begining of a good line.

have read this with great interest i have had and seen a few grey hounds run but they were above three years old and where stuck in there ways and habits.anyway everyone of here knows stewie and a few months back i had a 18 month grey bitch off of him.now when i first started taking the bitch out she was ignorant when ran on lamp for first time she caught a big rabb.i kept taking the bitch and her speed is blistering and she was doing all the things you would expect a grey and a YOUNG RUNNING dog to do overshooting on turns when running buy the way this bitch has retrieved everything she has caught and been able to carry back.at the start her speed was causeing her problems and she had a few knocks but after keep putting stuff in front of her she has started to adapt and she catches rabbits with ease and as for game this bitch will have ago at anything and has been on everything and she is no big bullx all i ask of her is that she TRYS 100% and no one could say that she dont try very good to watch not bad wind plenty of guts GOD LOVES A TRIER.now am not saying all of them are like this and she could get killed tommorrow(the same as any running or working dog)but i think if gotten from a young age as possible and have physically sound parents then there not as brain dead as people think i am glad i took a gamble on her and when lamping sometimes my heart is in my mouth but as said its early days i think they adapt there running just the same as any other running dog atb ks

Well written mate, good read that. I don't know what your terrain is like, my fear with greyhounds is fences, what is she like with them?

Sounds like she is of the right minerals and worthy to be bred from. The problem is to many litters are being bred out of failed track greyhounds that have had not been used in the way you are using yours. 2 tested parents are much more lightly to produce decent pups.

 

IMO if a greyhound is going to be used to produce lurcher pups it should be putting more than just speed into the pot.

I brought got a non ped whippet out of a racing kennels for my son and it has turned out to be a very useful little bitch. It is 21-22", 28-30lb, 3years old now and I am quite keen to line this bitch soley for her speed, drive and nimbleness. She catches as many rabbits as I am willing to carry and she is a good catch dog but lacks finish. Obedience is great, she is lamps of the slip, retrieves, jumps and is very steady.

I would say there are many reasons for using racing stock, but as will all pups you pay your money you take your chance and as aways it is what you put into them that turns a good dog into a great dog.
