haymin 2,465 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have been out with bob for a mooch with this bitch more times than anyone else this year and I can tell you this bitch can turn, I have seen her run very rough ground and dense woods while chasing rabbits she has overtaken lurchers while slaloming through trees over broken branches doing a 180 degree turn bypassing the lurchers again even befor they know what's going on. I have yet to see a dog that can match or beat this little bitch on balance, turn, form and stamina. I can only see that as an asset if adding it to a working lurcher, I think something with a bit of raw prey drive, speed and stamina to line this bitch like a grey, saluki with a little touch of bull. What ever it is it will have to be a bit special and just for you haymin if this lining happens I might just end up with 3 dogs lol, so that will be your nose right out of joint lol. My nose is not out of joint with you getting another pup when your current one is only 7 months old not cought a rabbit and has got a lot of work to do with her spend yir time with what ya have or you'l have 2 mental dogs harper could be a cracking dog and I will try and put you of as much as i can for you not to get it for harpers sake your doing the wrong thing and anybody that knows you should be doing as I am atb Quote Link to post

whip x grey 276 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 the 'crush' bitch that bob spoke about.........offers similar good breeding (he owns the sire) her straight line speed is maybe not up to paddy or bens (almost bob's) but it has to be remembered that these 2 brothers are among the top scratch racers in the country perhaps even of a generation. but 'crush' offers a little more maybe because she was raised as a hunter 1st and a racer 2nd, apart from the speed bit she has a high prey drive and is incredibly agile turning as they say on a tanner, she retrieves like a lurcher and isn't afraid of thorns and such........phil lloyd, dave sleight and many others have used non ped, grew, hardblood call it what you will blood into their juckels and when you look into it a little its easy to understand why. as a working lurcher man who raced these types many moons ago the key to success with this type of cross / outcross is to do your homework and pick the right line, some champions have the breeding, the speed, the temperament but not the feet for example. hopefully i see this for my own eyes next week too true moo ur welcome moo,,,ive invited u before have i not???? and uve invited me ???yes come down to mine lets get it on Quote Link to post
jarv5116 57 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Doesnt matter with lurchers anyways. Sonner or later your going need go back to putting a pure running dog into your line at some point or the dogs wont be able run a message. do you have experiance in this have you or someone you know had to do this ? If your breeding lurchers then at some point ur going have to. why? Unless ur breeding sight hound type ( saluki x greyhound type) running dogs. ur going need go back to pure running dog at some point Quote Link to post

birddog 1,354 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 just as an incidental to this both my bitches are similar way bred one by a deerhound type lurcher to lurcher line for generations and out of a greyhound, the other by a collie x that can be traced back decades out of a greyhound, both of mine work, both are quick and both retain a lot of the characteristics of the non running dog breed Quote Link to post

They only thing you could av put the dog to was pure greyhound or they would av lacked pace. Pre ban on bambi or hare running daytime half x to half x for generations will lack pace. So you got to end up putting full running dog back into it or high percentage of running dog x. In to produce the high percentage of lurcher ie 3/4 your going have go back to pure running dog.
