lapin2008 1,587 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 They are about a week old in these two pics born on 17th aug I really like the idea of this type of breeding. I imagine that most members of the public or uninformed others would not know immediately that its a lurcher. For the guys that own one, how do you find it walking them when you bump into other dogs walkers do they ask you what it is? if it catches rabbits etc? do you think you are looked at by farmers with less suspicion then something that looks very lurcher esque? Cheers i suppose your right mate regards the look of this x , as they (may) look like racey type gsds. But its not really what they look like, its more of the temp for me . As from what ive heard+ read on this x , they are very full on type lurcher with good stamina, good feet+coat, fast enough for most quarry, with plenty of guts to tackle anything. Just hope it workd out, as you need luck with any lurcher pup you pick from any litter . I have only heard good things about them as a cross but have never seen one myself. I am sure they are more then capable of anything you can put in front of it. I especially like the idea of being able to walk them places without attracting unwanted attention. With some of them looking like very racy GSDs/mals i can imagine this would be the case. yeh some places your right, you walk with anything thats like very racey in shape (whippetx grey, salukix, derrhoundx ) and they farmers ,keepers, just seem to turn up lol. By me they are real bad , ive had them follow me about in there 4/4's , walk with lab or rottie they dont say feck all.!! yes this pup could come in very handy with the like's of them lol exactly, but not just with landowners its lads interested in lurchers/hunting etc. have had people pulling over and complimenting the dogs, asking if i have been running etc. I would much prefer to be able to carry on with walk without people turning their heads 1 Quote Link to post
echo 24 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I don;t think they would be top of the list where steeling them is concerned and would probably make a good guard dog Quote Link to post
bunnys 1,228 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 some prefer to be discreet and dont need to top the ego up, rambling about doing ones own thing with the one animql no bustle and cluster of packs running a riot as in some cases . yes the camourflage is all good for the xs some get caught up in to minds stick to basics if thats the way ya like it mooch about bit shining . dont take much to fill the average box freezer maybe 2 runs .and jobs done these types will take the rabs comfortably in deep winter in numbers .hardy biddable more so dare i say than the average collie xs theyre like yo yos neva far from one untill needed . atb bunnys.

bird 9,872 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I don;t think they would be top of the list where steeling them is concerned and would probably make a good guard dog true mate,( if )the gsd comes out in the temp, and in most males of this x they will guard. Ive spoke to Steve Barton on another site who had this x in the 70s, and still got them now, and he told me that his 1x males he had all have been good guard dogs , and being fit with it and big feckers they would do the job if need be Quote Link to post
