MissRhianL 70 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 When i went to view my 1st lurcher pup 2yrs back i bought a pup advertised collie x grey x saluki x bull. dam: bull x collie x grey. Sire: Saluki x grey. A few weeks later had a message from the boy stating there is no bull in the dam. Another few weeks later had another message saying there was deerhound in the breeding. I did say i wasnt happy payin all that money for a pup when its the breeding that i didnt want otherwise i would of bought a different dog, but i was happy in keeping him and how ever he turns out thats wat he is longs if he did the job i didnt care. I just found out 2 days ago that my dog Buck who sadly died a week back, the breeding of him was actually dam: collie x whippet x grey. Sire: saluki x grey. So just wanted to know if this has ever happened to you been blagged a dog of its true breeding? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

malone 1 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 happens a lot,but try to minimise it by only buying of lads who breed for them selfs not people people breedin for money, even david hancock you know what your getting breed wise/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dances Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i bought a my little bitch of fordie on here, i had asked for a little dog for rabbiting that got abit of bull in. so he pmed me saying she was bull/grey x saluki/whippet. once i went up and bought her (out of pitty to be perfectly honest) i got in contact with her breeder and turns out shes actually: collie/greyxgrey X saluki/grey X staff/grey across a whippet bit different in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,862 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i think unless there 2 breeds in the mix, its a pot luck what comes out.But lurcher to lurcher make very good pot fillers, if you really wanted a pre ban fox dog you would go for a well bred bullxgrey, or hare dog a good coursing line bred dog.

romany52 313 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Truth of the matter is, most folks don't know what they've got once it's lurcher to lurcher for a few generations, gets so complicated, it's like Chinese whispers.Look at the parents and take it from there. Once you start multiple crossing there is know way of knowing what percentage of what is in there anyway. Just look at pics of the same crosses on here, they're like chalk and cheese. You pay your money and take a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bogger 243 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 anyone who brought those bull/grey pups from me has had this happen to them i feel for you lads nevermind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DottyDoo 500 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I went to the local shop for a pan loaf and he sold me a plain one pan breed is shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 If you buy off Tom, Dick or Harry then it's pot luck what you will get. Stick to genuine people who are honest. If your lucky enough, see the parents work through various seasons, and go from there. Not saying that the Heinz variety of dogs make unsuitable workers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
