Then you go on to say when crossed back to grey you hit the jackpot,With running dogs speed kills,Finding the right balance is the hard bit. Its easy to lamp and catch bouncers you can do it with a collie,Ive seen dogs you struggle not to take the light of the rabbit to see where the dog is Catches plenty if thats your thing. But the same dog in the day time out mooching,Ok if you have game rich land but if you have to put the miles in you need a dog than can make a half chance into a chance,It can only do that with pace.A dog hunting somthing for miles is only going to get you in trouble. 2 Quote Link to post

I agree with the bit you've highlighted in red, we've got a bitch at the moment who's very greyhoundy, but WILL go through some very thick cover/brambles. Also seen more than a few pure greyhounds do the same. And not all lurchers, however they're bred, will enter cover Quote Link to post

They (wont) be everybodys type of lurcher i know that , but all i ever wanted was dog like a colliex grey but with more (fire in there belly) iam not saying Buck will be that dog, but the x in general do the things i say. They were very popular x in the 70-80s as big deer+ fox dogs, the bullxs took of in the 70s, and the gsdx just went out of fashion , and lets fece it there are some very good bullxs about being bred back then .But (if) you drop on a (good )1x gsd x grey they will take some beating 1 Quote Link to post
Bossie 90 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Very nice dog! I'd take one of these without a doubt. Could be an allround dog in all sorts of tasks and sports, not only hunting. Looks very nice indeed, strong legs and feet, great coat. Very much looking forward to how he will be coming along in 6months to a year with some mental and physical maturity. Quote Link to post
blackgreyhound 206 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 if you have a lurcher which is very greyhoundy and is of greyhound construction it will not work cover.i must admit on reflection that some greyhoundy lurchers will go into cover but the kind of cover i am refering to is recently planted plantations with exstremely thick masses of bramble where muntjack preban like to lay up in . a dog with a thin greyhoundy coat would not be capable of going in to this type of cover for long. .in the open a greyhoundy lurcher will for the first few hundred yds leave a gsd x greyhound behind because thaht is whaht greyhoundy lurchers are bred for speed.but in thick cover the gsd x gr is in its natural element and i would be very surprised if a greyhoundy type could compete under those sort of conditions.i have seen colliex greyhoundxgreyhound run thru woods and thin bramble .but not really thick stuff.if i had a jack rusell that could not go into thicker cover than a whippet he would be sent back up to the happy hunting grounds.if i wanted to go off roading i would use a land rover not a sportscar Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 As I said across the way "good head". Recon it will have a good lengh of stride so cover ground quicker than might be imagined, still be a little heavy for my tastes but horses for courses eh. Saw a few good types back along, a 3/4 grey GS that was very good and a lurcher to lurcher that had around a 1/4 GS that took a lot of game so the type has potential. If it turns out to fulfill it's potential, in light of its structure, then put it over a grey or racey type and i'll give a pup a go. All the best with it n Quote Link to post

But if your going back preban,Never thought a single lurcher had much chance with munties in the brambles to be honest,So i would have still stuck with a racy lurcher and brought a spanielx to flush them. Each to there own. Now its only rabbit for me so even more important to have a bit of early toe. 2 Quote Link to post
