This yella dog bred to this blue gyp would be nice for me if I were a first timer.

Wouldnt have a clue but they get out of their kennels and kill shit just like their mommas and daddys did. Thats the most important thing right there.

I think it depends on what sort of person YOU are. If you have no patience then a saluki x isnt for you. If you are a very loud, dominant type of charecter then a collie cross isnt for you because they are very sensative. A bull x on the other hand needs a strong charecter. Beddy crosses are prone to doing there own thing, if you dont know how to deal with that it can be a problem. So..........there aint a short answer to your question. Also of course it does depend strongly on what your planning to hunt with the dog. I would recommend going out with a mate and there dog untill you have plenty of experience and preferably go out with a few different crosses so you can make a better desicion.

my first lurcher was a 14 month old collie/greyhound x whippet/greyhound... very nice lurcher bitch, very biddable and had a great nose for day time work... i think if your goin for a 1st lurcher then something with obedience would be a good idea like a collie/greyhound.... terrier crosses are what i use but they can test your patience, the beddy/greyhound i have at the minute was damn near impossible to train to retrieve but she did eventually get there! somebody mentioned a deerhound/greyhound earlier there but they are usually slow to mature and you may have to wait a while before they are ready for work... deerhound/grey x collie/greyhound i had was nearly 2 before he caught his first rabbit on the lamp!!!

2 !!!!!!!!!!! u must have serious patiene ya id say illl be going for a collie x greyhound ?

There is a litter on here at the moment, sire is a first x Deerhound, dam is 3/4 collie x. I don't know the breeder and not much is said about what they do, but you could easily find out.

That cross is quite old school and very useful, perfect for a first timer.

Thanks I might look into that
