morton 5,368 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 When line bred you can throw a stamp bitches of our lined normaly thro 23-24 tts and dogs 24 -25 tts al same shape but each to there own I suppose atb In the right hands the breeding can be controlled,how often do people breed with thought or reason behind it?.The same can be said of any type of lurcher i suppose,each to their own,thats the beauty about lurchers,what suits one may not suit his neighbour,theres a type out there to suit every kennel and hunting lifestyle. 1 Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Been breeding and working bedlington cross types for years (35 of them!) My stock came from Derek Croucher and Mark Blake of Cornwall whose family used to run a pack of gun hounds. Mum and the pup we kept for ourselves. I actually picked a bitch but circumstances changed and we had a friend who toook her and I kept the one my son was going to have - he'll be at stud in a couple of years, only 10 months at the moment, so no proven ability. 2 Quote Link to post
