zigzag dan 784 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 he bred 39 of the dogs in the final and all 4 of the winers i dont no if any are workers 39???? How many pups were bred to produce 39 of "show quality"? That does sound a lot of pups! As long as the show fraternity keep paying their £3/400 s off him for pups he will keep turning them out , true dogmen breed amongst mates to keep the lines tight , and often gift the pups , thats how it should be , the show brigade with their van fulls of dogs , brushes , cotton buds , are merely diluting down the bloodlines of the working lurcher , all for a rossette worth a £1 !!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CathNellHarris 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I only keep dogs I dont breed myself if someone with a nice bitch uses the dog I have a pup back instead of charging a stud fee. A lazy way do it but it works for us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's sad, but the modern way I guess. My point I was getting at was, that I'd have thought it was a low percentage of dogs that "achieve" show winning status, so how many pups has he actually bred to get the 19 or 39 show winners?

wren 8 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 All Bede/whippet/Greys will work if you want em too, RB bred 19 of the 40 odd dogs in the final and as the man sez he bred the four in the final line up, hats off to the man I say. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazholly 27 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 i was one of the 2 lurcher judges at the midlands for the champion lurchers and ive been in to lurchers all my life but would love some smart arse to tell me how to know a lurcher works or not just by judging it in a ring and take it from me no one as ever told me their lurcher doesnt work in all the time ive had lurchers. and tbh it wouldnt make any differance in my decision anyway because all it is at the end of the day is a show ring for the judge to pick which he thinks is the best looking and conditioned dog on the day .and for anyone remotely interested ive never seen the winning dog or owner in my life before or since saturday. well said friend i was there on sat and you 2 lurcher judges done a great job 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
