Working parents

[Guest sam]

anyone can buy a greyhound pup from parents that haven't seen game for generations, rear it like a lurcher, teach the basics recall, jump, retrieve etc. and it'll be bowling over hares easily in no time. ive seen greyhounds straight off the track mauling foxes or pulling down roe (pre ban of course) with no experience or hunting background. an experienced owner or a willing and honest beginner with the cohonies to stick with their mutt and not sell it at the first setback is far more important than working parents

 

 

silly talk,its all in the blood,you breed from pets you get pets.all the lads at the top of there game have one thing in common,a good line of dogs behind them.

if it's 'all in the blood' it surely doesn't matter whether the blood works or not

i aggree 100 percent with you sam but i all so see bird dogs points cause i too have seen greyhounds do some good stuff but to expect a grey to do a serious nites work were the big numbers are concerned would be stretching it a bit... i had an ex track dog ran 3 fox caught an killed em pre ban then keeled over greyhound just dont have that bit extra that breeding in good lurchers bhave if they did there would be no point having lurchers in the first place greys are bred to run flat out over short distance not to be run over rough ground run after run

if it's 'all in the blood' it surely doesn't matter whether the blood works or not

corse it does how do you know whats in the blood if its not tested an if inferior dogs turn up then surely they have to be culled no good breeding off something you think is in the BLOOD if you havent tested it

i see where your coming from but mixing the fast fiery ex track dog with a clever tough footed rough coated non working collie = working lurcher

so hypothetically you wouldn't take a lurcher pup bred out of top honcho's unraced unworked sister

I took a pup out of Westmead Hawks unworked, unraced sister, sired by an unworked Deerhound.....and , guess what ? She's doing just great !! And if it wern't for this ban and the anti's on here, I'd be proud to show what she is capable of !

 

Cheers.

well i didnt say i wouldnt take one but if i did it would be tested to the hilt... to me a greyhound should put more then just speed onto the mix an it should be chosen wisely though i must admit ive only owned one lurcher in over twenty year were the parent of the dog has been a pure grey an that was a hancock half cross all my other lurchers have been worker to worker bred :thumbs:

Been in the game 45 years and have never bred a litter. Never had the need to.... allways had the best offered to me or went looking for them ! If I ever did breed from her, I'd want the pups to go to lads like yourself, or I'd just keep what I wanted and cull the rest !

sam those dogs youve got had to start some were an the base greyhound some were in that lineage might not have been worked you dont know every dog in your dogs pedigreed of that im sure??????

[chartpolski 24,090]

I think we are all, broadly, in agreement that worker to worker is the best way..... but surely there is a case for the first cross that ISN'T from "workers" ? I own one; another well known lad on here has a tremendous Collie/Grey, 1st cross; were it's parents "workers" ? How many of the 1st cross Bull/Greyhounds on here are out of "workers" ? How many of the Salukis that have produced the finest hare coursers in the world , were actualy "workers" ? OK, working ability is great, but breeding and stockmanship also comes into it. They all play a part in producing good Lurchers.

i know every dog thats in the make up of my own animals,been out with everyone of them.why would anyone add ghound blood now days for a lurcher when theres pleanty of good lurchers out there that are tryed and tested

[birddog 1,354]

if i'm getting it right it's ok to buy a pup from say a genuine 1st cross collie grey put to a genuine 1st cross deerhound grey (or whatever) as long as the parents are working even though the 4 grandparents may never have seen a green field, but it's not the done thing to get a 1st cross pup as the parents weren't workers even though the pup could have all the right attributes and instincts.
