The quarry dictates the dog if your a hunter and really serious about taking game. Like these guys that take 4lb test and go shark fishing, cool but not serious. Hares is your quarry , hare dog. Big and toothy is your game well get a sighthound bred for it. Big movment over her in the states for the fastest coyote dog so I've been seeing 3/4 -7/8 hot bloods.....I think they forgot what happens when they catch the coyote of they have 8 dogs on it so it dont matter anyway. I dont always but I try to live by the dog has to support its self and you , thats the acid test then you cant go wrong.

I always wanted a smallish, fast,, agile, smooth coated dog, mainly for rabbits - day and lamp.

 

I was looking at whippets or whippet/greys.

 

I then got offered a saluki/whippet/grey pup and at first the stubborn saluki blood was proving a major pain in the arse, especially for a first lurcher.

 

However I have learnt how to deal with and work with the saluki blood and he is turning into a fine dog. If he turns out how I expect him to then I can't see me straying far from this breeding.

well had lurchers long while now(25 years+), and i have kept bullxs, and colliexs, bitza, none ped whippet. Right now ive keep bullx and colliex, as rabbit dog i dont think you can beat a colliex. And i think a good bullx takes some beating for most quarry, that tenacity they have comes in handy if you need it . Both xs are clever, loyal,+tough dogs But i do think lurcher to lurcher bred dogs, make hell of a good dog, and if i ever wanted alrounder type lurcher thats what i would go for in the future. i came very close to it sunday

Mostly ran Beddy x whippets, and Beddy x Whippet x Whippet, always liked a bit of whippet in my dogs, so I decided to go the whole hog, and got a pedigree whippet pup.
