Recommended Lurcher Breeders?

[Mr Whippy 1]

I'm beginning my search for a bitch to get home for around August 2013, in prep for the 2014/15 season. A long way off I know, but I want have done my home work in time for me to reserve a pup.

 

So, I'm just after your recommendations of either breeders, or people in the know who occasionally have litters of quality proven workers.

 

At the moment I'm thinking about a 5/8ths Grey x 3/8th Bearded Collie, or a 1/2 Grey x 1/2 Bearded Collie. Although although I'm also wondering about similar lurcher to lurcher crosses.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

Yep rabbits indeed, to work alongside the ferrets.

 

I am considering Hancock at the moment, but like U.L.D.A mentions, I'd be quite into finding someone who's doing some collie based lurcher to lurcher breeding to keep their working line going.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction of someone doing this?

just keep looking about mate soon enough the right dog will come along and then youll have many good seasons with him hopefully if he makes the grade lol but just dont buy any pup you seem to have the right idea any way mate

Id stay clear of breeders,that usually entails ££,s and not breeding for a purpose,an hunting jukel,get out with the parents of the pups,that will tell you more about their future potential than anything else.

A whippet ? Or whippet based dog

I've seen some really nice ferreting dogs bred by Typ Ratcher in Cumbria (not sure if I've spelt his name right mind!).
