J.DOG 1,355 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've a deer grey x saluki bull grey who is feathered looks like a pure saluki and a women approached me and said Is he an afghan hound no I replied he's a Lurcher with lots of different breeds in him I told her his breeding,she said but lurchers are small and hairy I said no a Lurcher can be any size depending on what the sighthound is crossed , she then said so is a whippet a Lurcher no I replied it's a sighthound eventually she got the idea but then she said my English bull terrier was an illegal breed and do I fight him WTF I dont know how some peoples minds works. 3 Quote Link to post

6pack 60 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 A pedigree is just the dogs lineage usually over 3 generations - so maybe that question isn't as stoopid as it first appears. Was once told that my bull lurcher of 23" had Dane in it - woman had worked with Danes all her life and knew these things. My Borzoi is apparently an EBT cross due to the long nose.

SMART DOG 340 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 In the last week my misses was told by a bloke with a whippet pup that lurchers only have rough coats and if it's got a short coat it's a greyhound, and I was asked by a women with a old lurcher I bumped into if my bitch was a pure bred lurcher ? I replied as pure as a dog made up of 3 different breeds can be.....She looked at me like I was a retard!! I'm pretty sure I'm not lol Had anyone else heard any equally stupid myths or stories about lurchers ? the best we hear all the time on the hunting life is a English bred dog will be no good in Ireland hahahahaha 4 Quote Link to post
