My first was was from a first cross deerhound x greyhound bred by a guy in Burnley in the 70`s, and put to a collie cross lurcherxlurcher, I picked the smallest bitch from the litter, she was 23 and a half inches and remains the BEST all round lurcher bitch Ive owned, or seen. Some breedings when cross breeding just work better than others, this is one of those crosses that consistantly work..If I was starting again, I wouldnt fear getting a pup from a first cross d/g x first cross c/g..and starting a line from this Quote Link to post
