dalmnation x greyhound

[lurcher330 2,297]

my sister was given a dalmnation bitch a few months back she is 2 year old and she is none reg but she is coming into heat at the moment and i was just thinking as an experiment of covering her with a greyhound i have taking her out a few times with me with the whippets and terriers and she has caught a few rabbits on the run and she has marked plenty of burrows and she has the stamina to run all day just wondering would it be worth while or would it be a total waste of time.i think her stamina would be nice in a lamping lurcher

keep yours and cull the rest would be the only way

I knew someone who had a dalmatian with half a tail. It was called Duncan and it honestly was the thickest most stupid dog I've ever seen. Give it a miss mate be more rescue home jobs given time. And it was also prone to breaking out in these ridiculous black spots which didn't help the way it looked!!!!

My mate has a dalmation and there is no way one could ever catch a rabbit on the run.

Dalmations have a lot of very strong qualities to add to a lurcher .... endurance, excellent feet, natural athletes, drive and a natural fire in their belly.

 

I have a dalmationX bearded collie, and my sister has a full dalmation . . . .. . Both have their strengths and weaknesses, the daly X beardy is an all round excellent dog, brains to burn and unbeliveable drive. She's 7 now and spent her life competing against all manor of breeds at agility, dock dogs, weight pull, high wall, long jump, and flyball, she's always been first or second in every event she's ever done. Now she's getting on a bit she doesn't really compete much anymore, being the kind of dog she is, she's turned her enthusiasm to the field ...... she will flush cover like a spaniel, retrieve like a lab, mark like a lurcher and chase and catch whatever she can . . . rabbits, rats and pheasants. They say you always have ONE dog in your lifetime that stands out, and she is mine, i've often thought of doing the cross again or putting a greyhound over her . . . . However you need to be realistic and accept that she is just a great dog, there is absolutley no saying that a litter of 8+ puppies with greyhound blood added, would be any good at all. I personally couldn't keep a couple then cull a litter and therefore i will not attempt the mating and just accept that she's a one off.

 

 

Obviously the competition stuff isn't everyones cup of tea, however many that have met this dog, will agree that regardless of your discipline in the dog world, a good dog with natural talent is a good dog whatever.

 

 

The pure dalmation is also a good dog, but she lacks the brains of the half cross, obviously gained from the collie . . . . . she will actively get involved with the pack when out walking, working cover and flushing game. She's had a few lucky bunnies, but there was no way it was down to skill! The endurance she has is like a hound, tiring her is impossible . . . . . But IMO thats not enough to consider adding dalmation blood to a lurcher, there is plenty of proven crosses that do the job just fine without creating more. If you were to come across an accidental litter then i'd consider having a pup, however i would never intentionally do the mating myself.

Nice pictures Hannah, you should know there capabilities seeing as you have a couple. But like you say it's too big a risk actually breeding them.

I like the look of the x smart looking dog if that was my only dog and I was looking for another working dog I would consider using her.Every one has their own opinions but the dalmations I,v seen have loads of stick and if that is all they added it would be as much as many other x,s JMO.
