gasaxeman 167 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 there was a pup for sale but i can not find the advert plus it looked a really nice racey dog/bitch as well Quote Link to post
keepitcovert 842 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Had one of this cross in the late seventies, yes she was a useful dog not a world beater, but a lot better than some of the crosses doing the rounds today. She was a single handed fox dog hard mouthed as hell on the right quarry, but took the bunnies with ease on the lamp. Only problem if you are planning to breed this cross is you dont see that many of the old style racy working labs that used to be about, more like barrels on legs these days. Certainly a cross worth considering, YIS KIC 1 Quote Link to post
SalukiBULLJP 27 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 i agree...if its not a 2nd lab cross id recommend the lab needs to be a slight leggy one not a large round chubby one like most use as workers these days....great bushing dogs like the cockers etc but to breed it to a greyhound/whippet bitch id definately try a nice leggy lab to keep the pups speedy and keep the stamina up.....also i reckon the dam would have an easier time in delivery of the pups with them being leaner built.....a really handy dog as ive seen two dogs off the same litter...my mate works them on" all leagal quarry" especially rabbits and feather all retrieved to hand alive as theyre soft mouthed dogs but seen em take on "other stuff" too... not a problem.....only prob is one of them barks when were first out but nothin a little kick up the arse wont mend.lol....smashing lurcher and not very heard of round my way,oh and they both look like labs with longer legs and a slightly longer snout so folk dont think theyre lurchers....wink wink Quote Link to post
George (ferret boy) 6 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 i know someone with Labrador Cross Whippet Pups if you are looking at buying that kind of dog they are first cross and both of the parents are working dogs Quote Link to post
SalukiBULLJP 27 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 i wont mention who the lad is cos i know he used to be on here a few year back but thinks the site is full of peddlers and anti hunting numpties checking out yer photos so i'l leave it there..i wil say that his dogs are fantastic working lurchers and both have kept him and his family fed for years and also made him a lot of money off local farmers and a very big landowner on the shoots as he uses the dogs to flush,retreive and clear the foxes with permission...lads a proper dogman and i always up to something with them....

DogFox123 1,379 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 A good collie cross would do all that and be faster, don't you think there's a reason why it is not as common as a collie cross, for all round ability I don't think they can be beat Quote Link to post

Certainly a cross worth considering, YIS KIC hi yes know what you mean ive seen two that would make a good x the one my mates got is just the type you want leggy and lean plenty of length in his back it will be well bred considering who bred it too i am going to drop hints to him see if he would mate to a greyhound then the hard task of finding a good bitch early days yet Quote Link to post
IN SLIPS 134 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 My dad has a litter at the min 4 weeks old out of a first x labradoodle to a top daytime dog bred by Kenny Hall. These should make handy dogs in the right hands. Still two left if any body intrested. Quote Link to post
1Wally 204 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 This is the first and last time i will ever type Labradoodle..... Feel free to never mention that name if your anywhere near me and i will kindly refrain from pouring brake fluid on your car... Atb Wally. 3 Quote Link to post
Mustelid 143 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 There are plenty of the leggy, lean type labs about still... on the shoot I'm involved with a few of the guys trial labs and their dogs are so lean and quick you could mistake them for black greyhounds! Quote Link to post
rosebud 6 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hello there ! We think our beautiful 2 year old pedigree lab, Bess is pregnant after mating with our neighbours greyhound ! We spoke with our neighbour who told us that they got their dog from Battersea and was told he was greyhound collie cross. We was going to breed bess with another KC reg Lab as she has just turned 2 but unfortunately she escaped and now we believe she is expecting althought this is not confirmed. Bess is from a very good gundog background. Because of the mix the puppies will be we are worried that if we let her have the litter no one will want them. Any advice please ? Quote Link to post
2.8 guy 403 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 i was up on on the land beating this year and the new keeper had a leggy lab i saw it course a rabbit it wasnt quick enough to catch it but what did impress me it never made a sound its only a young dog and after i spoke to him i found out it was a lab x pointer on closer inspection you could tell by the little beared it had but other than that it just looked like a leggy lab the one i saw the other day was far better you could just tell it is a quality dog the more i think about it the more convinced i am its the right way to go for me 1 Quote Link to post
fenman1# 724 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 as far as i know the rcord in my town for most rabbits was a guy called louise nagle had a first x lab hound was about 20 plus years ago, she was ment to be unnatural on the lamp Quote Link to post
border lad 1,047 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I had one 3/4 grey/1/4 black lab, fantastic dog for edible, great nose, great feet and tough as nails, could come over a good fence or gate with a 7lb Hare in his mouth, and he could swim across the river with the cord of the shackle net,to the far bank to my mate who was waiting, on the other side, ((( this was back in 1973to 76. I put him over a couple of bitches, but he never left anything as good as himself,He was a proper pot filler, and he was great on ploughed land, tattie field, or a turnip field, winter wheat, as he was twisting and turning the Hare, you would see the soil fly up behind him,stood 26" and built for the job.my mates nicked named him TURBO, for the power and stamina he had, 1 Quote Link to post
