I don't think it's acceptable for a dog to open up. There's plenty of people running whippets and whippet crosses that don't have problems with opening up. They can do it more than other breeds, if allowed to get frustrated or made to work too hard on their first runs. I've never had a collie crossed dog that yapped and neither have any of my pals. It'd be interesting for the collie cross owners on here to let me know if their dogs do it.

I think a lot of it is to do with this current trend of trying to enter a dog at a little over six months.

I hunted bunnies in Iberia with a couple of fellas and their pack of Podengos, they were cracking dogs and they ran well on some real rough ground. Would I use these dogs to breed into a lurcher? No! Because they've been bred for years to bark on the run so that the hunters can locate them in some if the thick scrub that they work. A nights lamping can be ruined by a dog yapping it's way across a field, why risk it?

not the best for at nits adog barking or yellping if your chaseing clever qaurry quite and silent , you get that with entering them cleverly an dunder supervision , saw adog quite got hurt used to growl on the turn but not on the strait maybe an injury ,only on a hare wordt dog ive saw was whippet colie and beddie cross ,,no piont in over taxing them to young

I don't think it's acceptable for a dog to open up. There's plenty of people running whippets and whippet crosses that don't have problems with opening up.

first off all who mentioned podengos,,, ?? difrent breed from a galgo,,,, podengo,s is a term used to discribe veriouse breeds of rabbit dog in spain from terrier type things,, to ibizans... and yes they do bark,, more like hounds in the way there worked.

 

as for collies,,, i was refering to the fact that we use collies to produce lurchers, and far more collies will open up rather than a pure grey,, but we still use the collie to produce good lurchers.

 

as catcher said his collie crosses dont open up,,, i wasnt refering to croses lurchers ect ,,, i was mearly pointing out that we use breeds in the production of lurchers that are more prone to open up than greys,,, ie collies, terriers ect.

My Hancock 3/4 quarter cross used to sometimes open up, especially when he knew the hare was going to escape. Very strange dog, he's nearlly 14 and he's never stopped whining and yapping at home, tried everything to shut him up, nothing worked

      Help Required as to ancestry /history of my saluki /Greyhound. 
      I have just lost my dog of a lifetime to cancer, she was 11/12 yrs old.I am truly heartbroken. 
      I'm not a hunter,but have always loved sight hounds in particular salukis.
      My dog Fern was a very distinguishable sighthound ,her colouring alone a mutated dilute. Was quite a show stopper. I'd have people literally stopping cars to ask what she was as she held herself well and looked awesome. 
      She was Steel and tan with a white butterfly on chest. White tips on feet. 
      Fur like velvet and shone.
      A glamourous looking dog.
      She passed through I believe 5 lurcher men before coming to me age around 4 yrs. 
      I had her 8 yrs. 
      I have  sketchy details of her young life and know she was initially used as a racing dog and then a lampers dog. Until she hurt her spine and broke a toe.  
      Fern was born around 2009,lived in North East England (Northumberland).
      I believe she had two litters of puppies (do you have one?)
      Lived Winlaton, Mickley,Prudhoe , Ryton, Greenside, Horsley.
      I believe her father (sire) may of being khan jihad. 
      I believe her mother (dam) was a steel greyhound and was a Irish coursing champion.  
      Does anyone know who that might be?
      Who bred Fern?
      Does her heritage fit time scale wise?
      I would dearly love to know as I said, totally in bits at her loss. 
      I just want to try and recreate her or seek out someone who might be able too from same lineage. 
      Whilst I'm not a hunter, I turned Fern from huntress to helper in that I used her skills and abilities to bring deer out to me to photograph, as I'm a professional photographer. We were quite a team. 
      I just loved everything about that girl.
      Thanks for any help received.
