chartpolski 23,698 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 confirmation? since whens that important in working luchers who cares what the dog looks like if it does its job well confirmations for showing and showing means nowt..... well said shame a few more people dnt fink like that thered be alot more good working dogs about. Do you guys honestly beleive confirmation doesn't count in a running dog ? Cheers. dont think they do good workingdogs will confirm to a dog with a physique/disposition that is right or running not how long his shin bone is to his eyebrow lol think that is what they think is confirmation but were not on about that confirmation What conformation are you on about ? A running dog, be it Greyhound, Whippet, Saluki, Lurcher, whatever, will not be able to do the job it was bred for if it has bad conformation ! Don't mistake dogs with good conformation with show dogs !! A show Greyhound couldn't run to save it's life, but a good racing or coursing Greyhound will have good conformation !

sowhat 1,572 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have tried to ask the question to lads who have chosen track/raceing blood over tested working blood in there breeding programmes but they have not answered my question. I read an article in EDRD nov 10 by Dave Slieght regarding this subject but disagreed with a few things he said . So why do lads choose track dogs over the real deal workers as I cant see what they can offer apart from speed . 3. the average track dog is very game and will smash deer and draw as good if not better than many lurcher given the chance. Now that is one of the funniest things I have ever read on here if the truth be known with their lack of socialisation, hunting instinct and physical strength many track greyhounds will run and kill anything in front of them cat,fox, deer, sheep, other dogs anything. and we still haven't found out how much greyhound is in your dog i find this intresting,,,,,as moo started topic,,,,,,yet i might be wrong ,,,,doubtfull thou,,,,,moo owns brindle dog called tigger,,,,deer/suliki/grey,,,,,,,,,,what does ur greyhound side bring to table moo,,,??????? i think that will answer ur question Bob I stay 10 minutes from you come out with me today or tonight and bring one of your dogs and I will show you exactly what this dog has to offer This dog has very little greyhound in his make up and I am sure that its not the greyhound blood that makes him the dog he is . There a few pups knocking about out of him that certainly dont lack speed but have that bit more than if they were greyhound saturated What is the exact breeding of your dog? Quote Link to post
MOO 730 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Dam 3/4deergrey sire saluki type but this thread is not about my dog ....the reason for the thread is why people choose track dogs for there breeding that have never been tested in the field instead of a decent lurcher that could offer more attributes to the pups than just speed and judgeing from some pms some folks have got there knickers in a twist . 1 Quote Link to post

fieldsman 51 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 3. the average track dog is very game and will smash deer and draw as good if not better than many lurcher given the chance. Now that is one of the funniest things I have ever read on here All the track ex track dogs iv seen run were very game taking fox and dear and once a time I wish I had,nt been witness to killing a pony after escaping its run and going on the run by it,s self not my dog i must add .My opinion for what its worth if a Greyhound had good feet and could stick using gears there would not be a need for x breeds the things a greyhound lacks are faults bred in by racing and organised coursing if you had time, money it would be possible to reverse the bad points ie only breeding with dog that had what you wanted and put the best with the best.The racing world wanted only speed over short distances to the detriment of the breed.JMO Quote Link to post

I am not a fan of puting up pms as that is private for the 2 persons concerned but I still have them and will put them up if I have to ...to proove the above In the words of Karen Dunbar Like I said to you before good luck with your pups Edited March 29, 2011 by MOO Quote Link to post
