Lurcher Breeding

[Don 5]

Hi, I'm thinking about lining my collie cross bitch sometime next year, she's 3/4 Greyhound 1/8 Beardie 1/8 Border collie, she's come on canny for what I want so was hoping to have a pup of her, problem is I'm really not sure what to line her with, has anyone with experience (I've not bred any lurcher pups) got any suggestions as to what to put over her, I use her for lamping bunnies and mooching about through the day.

 

Cheers

Don.

how old is she? put another colliex to her or a beddyx

[Don 5]

Thanks for replies lads, she's 3 years old, when you say collie cross would you put a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie to her? I'll post some pics later.

I'd put birds Bryn to her

i to would say ask bird could you use bryn

look at what you would like out of the line first mate, what do you think she could do with adding to her attributes atb

Yea id say another 3/4 gh 1/4collie x unless u think ur bitch is missing summit then look to add that quality

Personally i wouldn't put another 3/4 grey 1/4 collie over a 3/4 bred already, as in my opinion i think the progeny would be too greyhoundy and possibly have no wind and shit feet. Just my opinion chaps Cheers Atb

Thanks for replies lads, I'm not sure what more attributes I'd like to add, I'm not saying that she's perfect lol but she's good enough for me, she's loyal, bright, fast enough and retrieves live to hand, the only thing she's doesn't like much is going into cover, but to be honest that doesn't bother me much, she seems to have a canny nose on her also, I guess I'm looking to replicate her and start my own line off so to speak, but I'm not sure what the best way to do this.

Nothing but good reports about birds dog Bryn may well be a dog to consider....

Ya i wouldnt either, You'll lend up with a gloryfied Gh....

 

 

What sort of ground and quarry you intending too hunt? I think personal Sal types mix well with Collie types and make half decent alrounders for ediable game but thats just my prefernce Or D/hxGh type.

 

But Ray's Bryn is a very decent first cross and iam sure you'll keep alot of what youve mentioned you like about your bitch as iam sure Bryns very simalar in work style but i know he's a real good bushing dog also

That's what I thought paul 7, the op says he lamps rabbits and mooches daytime, from reports on here and what bird has said himself that's exactly what Bryn excells at, it maybe worth a pm to bird if you were serious about it..... At least you know it's worked and doing what you want.... Good luck
