my mate got a reject (a 'fighter') years ago a bitch about 60lb that would take on anything, took foxes like a terrier takes rats, a demon on roe and great single handed on hares but very fiery and determined took some horrendous knocks, i moved away and i believe she broke her neck following a roe into woodland, i think if she'd been bred with something to temper that fire a little she'd have thrown ace pups. always fancied the idea of bringing one up from a pup as a lurcher maybe instill a little common sense but a lot depends on the nature of the ground

Mentioned a few times on here of my dads, he spent big money on it as a sapling, not a track reject.

He's ran it all over from flats in england to the mountains in wales. Copes just as well at either. Stamina on the dog is unreal. Real sensible mutt tbh jumps well. Only fault is after a very long run doesn't retrieve all way to hand stops 10ft short. Seems to have half decent recovery and unless my dad reminds you it's a grey most the time you just think your out with one of his lurchers.

So far he's doing well but as we well know it's if he can maintain it over the years

Had 3,all x racer's, ignorant in the field, none would cross a ditch or fence or go through a gate, all pulled up at ditch while running rabbits, the last one done it for me, my terrier bolted a rabbit out of a break and I slipped, he ran up and whipped up the terrier, nearly killed her, he ran no more after that.

Maybe as briddod says, bring them on from pups, but i'd never keep one in my kennel again.

That is unlucky mate, I prefer getting them as pups and training them up for the field first, then putting them on the track as it gives them a bit more sense

i grew up with track and extrack dogs, and always prefered watching them run in fields or on the beach.

in my experience with ex track dogs you have trouble getting them to jump higher than the couch.

but i have always wanted a gray from a pup to see what you can realy teach them.

a mate baught one ferreting once, he worked at a racing kennels, the bitch werent to good with the ferrets and was easily out turned by the rabbits but with work i think one wouldnt be too bad, wouldnt be my cup of tea mine, folk put other breeds in there for a reason

I've got a dog there his mum was a full grey dad a three quarter grey whippet but thru like a full hound he ls electric on straights but doesn't turn to great will jump anything in front of him but picks a lot of injuries done well over the years tho was murder to train as a pup
