I have no doubts about the ability of one of these Xs ... only tricky bit would the finding good breeding stock to start with..you would need one of them good german import type shepards,not one of them slanty backed poor specimins that some of the breeders call sheperds these days..good strong bitch with plenty of guts. Then a good Grey or even a Grew depending on what size you want ..but the tricky bit would be getting a good strong bitch. Quote Link to post

freelance 448 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have seen a genuine half cross GSD x Grey work a long time ago. Mainly lamping and it was for certain quarry ( i went out with this dog quite a bit, so got a fair opinion of the cross ). Also watched the dog ferret once or twice and had a good nose and was well trained around the sets. The dog was a heavy-ish build with real good strong tight feet and thick jacket, and i have to say the first time i seen it i had my doubts as to it being fast enough. How wrong was i. These dogs are deceptively fast, with a long flowing stride and they can motor. It certainly had enough speed and drive for the prey we was running back then. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

We ran my mates doubled up on the bigger species, but also ran our dogs single on the smaller one,s And your right bunnys about the speed wise, my mates was plenty fast enough for all round lurcher work night and day. I wasn't there there one particular night but a very good friend of mine watched the dog on the lamp, on a night out roadsideing lamping running from back of a motor and watched it catch seven long ears and later on mop some bunnys up and said he was genuinely suprised and impressed with the dog. Both speed and general all round ability. Quote Link to post
