Mate had one yrs ago first x about 22''. Great little rabbiting dog both day and night ferreting/lamping/mooching. Would kill foxes singlehanded but that was maybe 5/10 a season so never really called a fox dog and wasnt a dog that liked getting bit so wouldnt like too have seen him on fox in any sort of numbers as i honestly think he would of lifted his head IMO. Deer wise he was the best Munty dog iv ever seen woodland/bramble/railway banking he just aways put up a good show. Any eles tho and he'd get straight lined and never did kill/catch any other speices in all his working life. And hare was the same just never had pace and would get straight line and he burned pretty fast also if iam be honest kiiled a few but were early stubble green ones.........

 

 

 

As a rabbiting and munty dog he took a bit of beating he really would keep anyones freezer FULL and the gamedealers ... But anything eles he was beaten, And they had the upper hand

Good honest post. So you think the smaller dogs can be limited? I've been following the recent beddy/grey threads as i think its gonna be my next dog. Hoping to get a 3/4 x at around 23-25tts

If you are on the wbf talk to oldhand he has been in the game a long long time. he has a big strong looking beddy/grey stud that may sometimes go over someones grey. he breeds beddy lurcher to beddy lurcher.

i ran both first cross and 3/4 good dogs put plenty stuff to bed in the 70s/80s i found the 3/4 was prone to feet problems to much greyhound but were good grafters the dogs were 24/26 and bitches 22/24 the first crosses different animals run over any thing and not much slower made great lamping dogs and did a job on most things slipped at i now run a 3/4 whippet beddy he as made 22 tts and the drive in this dog is through the roof i like a bit of beddy puts the spark in a runner.atb

Is there any particular opinions on their temperaments at all compared to other crosses? Or does it just depend on how they are socialised and trained?

[paulsmithy83 567]

has anyone got any tips on training and bringing on a first cross seeing it my first lurcher i could do with some tips atb

[wirral countryman 2,110]

Chris,its the same training as any other dog mate,basic obedience,good recall,make sure its bullet proof around stock as this can be the beddy/cross's achilles heel,once they've had a few things that bite back some get a taste for stock,I go out regular with 2 first cross dogs and both have a lovely temperament and just take everything in their stride,here's a couple of pics from the other day,WM

What about this for a mix

Dam irish whippet greyhound Sire collie greyhound just turned a year had abit of trouble getting her started but coming on okay now

[lurcherandterriemanchris 14]

mate thats a lovely dog mate

 

i was just wondering with training this first cross casue i have heard some crosses can have quite bad temperament and can be very moody but by the sounds of the things this cross is bulletproof
