It would be interesting to hear other people's views on this, and not just bull breeds but all first crosses. I've offen wondered if it matters which was round there bred.

i was always told the speed goes on top, never bred lurchers tho, id rather get the best i can than breed just cos i own the sire or dam

Is it not greyhound dam / bull sire

[lurcher330 2,297]

It does not matter either way,the DNA will be split 50/50 or some might even say that the bitch will give a little bit extra Dna,Some will come more to the dam some the Sire and some will be inbetween ,a friend of mine bred a litter of 1st x whippet bedlingtons a while back,7 pups 2 smooth coated that would pass as full whippets and 5 rough coated 3 had silver blue coats like the bitch ,very soft,and 2 had rough wirey coats

well what ever way you want to do it , it will be (4/8 dam + 4/8 sire ) .i was told even though equal , the pups get more of there temps from the dam, prob as she bringing them up .! Maybe people use greyhounds as the dam ,because they are easy to get , more than other breeds.

I think a lot of folk also like to use the bigger breed as the dam, to ensure less issues passing pups??? Don't know, but i guess makes sense.
