stating the ovious there lads, only good dogs should be bred from, its beside me why sumone woud even consider to breed from a dog or bitch that was a poor or sub standard

My dog the now was bred out of a great lamping bitch (3/4 grey 1/4 collie) to a saluki greyhound who took 3s and 4s every week and so far the pups done everything being asked of him, he's still only 17month so it's still early days to say if he'll be a really top dog but he's certainly got the right ingredients and showing good potential so the season ahead will tell, cheers Darren

the pursuit of excellence is seldom straight forward,worker to worker is a good recipe but who is to say what 's a lamp dog aint a day dog,that may be dictated by availability of work?'hybrid vigour' reduces every generation away from the f1.

Couldn't agree more mate, far to many folk out looking to make a quick buck breeding a litter of shite and ruining lines.

What do you mean do you not think a lurcher should work day and night anyway ?

 

who, me???

no gareth dont get the question is it not normal for a dog to work day and night atb

 

Maybe I've worded the question wrong. Not all dogs work say and night. Some lads only lamp. Some only daytime.

 

I know coursing lads who don't work the lamp. I was asking specifically about a coursing dog crossed with a lamping dog.

 

Sorry if I confused you.

 

Thanks for the replies. Some good points

dont think you confused me just think a dog should do the both day and night

[gamerooster 1,179]

A well bred coursing dog with plenty of pace should do it all. That is to say, not Saluki saturated, but with enough to give day time stamina. I've had one or two, and they performed just as well on the lamp and on charlie and other stuff as they did on fen hares, and I'm not kennel blind.

 

have you ever seen a heavily based saluki dog run, and i mean a good one?

Yeh but its never gonna excel at both is it?

 

If every good lamp dog could do 5/5 on the fens then we would all keep the same lines of dog surely???

not having a go mate, but my old dog could do 4 out of 4 in the dead of winter, and put most dogs to shame on the lamp on edible stuff

no never seen the fens never mind a saluki seen plenty deerhound xs and beddy xs kill hares in small fields with fences preban no in the least bit interested in the fens dont see why you cannot have a dog that can lamp and do daytime and be good at the both

[gamerooster 1,179]

you can, but IMO opinion, to do it all, evrywhere, it has to be a coursing bred dog with plenty of gear, best alrounders there is, bar none, field or fen, day and night, hunt jump kill carry and do r,h,f,d and feather, just takes a good man to get the best out of them
