chartpolski 23,739 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'll start the ball rolling; MUST have Greyhound as the base.... then I'd like to see Saluki, Deerhound, Bedlinglton, Whippet, and even though I'm not a fan, Bull ! But is there any other breed you'd like to put to a Greyhound to produce a Lurcher ? I missed out Collie, simply because I've only had one Collie cross, and it was shite !! Doesn't mean they all are, but that's just my view !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

A good worker to worker, on any quarry Quote Link to post

But what are we breeding for?A rabbit dog,a fox dog,a hare dog,a deer dog or the all-rounder.....be honest Charti theres a lot of variables. Now if I was breeding for myself then I'd go for the dog you showed such disdain for by mentioning as an after-thought. Collie/Greyhound 3/4 if you're planning a all-rounder and 1/2 x or 5/8 3/8 to cover the rest. Quote Link to post
