blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 wilf.malumute strong good stamina plenty of weight good coat excellent pads clever bred to survive tall powerful hard.combined with greyhound fast aerodynamic muscuclar great prey drive good eyesight .mix both together some diesel versions slow heavy powerful fast enough for foxes few rabitts preban deer 9 pups possibly three break right like bigger versions of gsdxg fast strong clever great prey drive good coat hard fantastic stamina thick pads heavy strong bone fast enough for preban hares.my friends is saluki lurcher x mal bitch and that has caught daylight things.so the greyhoundxmal version should be a little bit faster .and stronger .but of course time will tell. i have bred gsdxg and some of them have been fast enough preban for daylight hares .so why not a malxg.if it has the greyhound prey drive you cannot go wrong.if you want a heavy built lurcher truely made for certain jobs .malxg bred correctly should be the ideal animal.in every cross you will get bad indifferent and good Quote Link to post

paulsmithy83 567 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 It makes me wonder, threads like this.........are people sitting there watching the telly at night and a programme comes on that features such and such a dog and they have a lightbulb moment and think " ahh.....I know what I should be doing......"? Do they just wake up one morning and over a brew think " mmmmm......greyhound x huskey.......that's where I have been going wrong all these years, why didn't I think of it earlier" ? Are they down the pub and old Ron aged 97 says casually over a brown ale " I will let you into a little secret son......one word.....Huskeys"? Are they having a quiet shit and while reading this weeks Heat magazine see a picture of some random Eskimo and his dog team and think " GOTCHA!!...... You beauty !!!"? Is while in the doctors waiting to get more medication and flicking nochalontly through a 10 year old National Geographic that they stumble across an article about how a sled dog saved some unfortunate trapper lost in the wilderness from a bear attack that they think " ahh yes!!......if I had a faithful but brave companion like old Benji I would cross it with a grey hound" ?? I mean, more than the cross.....can someone please explain how these things get started !!! ???? Just luck had it 1 day my Bruv in law decided take the mutt on stroll [BANNED TEXT] out diggin as he hadnt had it out behind the quad that day broke through n mal caught eyes n pulled the rest is history so speak .

paulsmithy83 567 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Well feck,.. ever eating that cold porridge,...there is no future in that grey game.... Get your drift Wilf,..regarding why folk suddenly opt for using various exotics, to try and produce a better/different style of hunting dog....and yes,..a great many folk, just seem to flick through the pages of a canine encyclopedia and think,."now that would be a good critter, to put over a Greyhound".. That being said,.a few others,..give such projects a brave try,.but they usually keep things, 'in house' ,..and retain the good ideas and success stories,..and abandon the foolish wastes of effort,... For my sins, I've stood in both camps... The Malamute would not be my choice,.however,..I've spent some time with Siberian Huskies, Sledge Dogs, whatever,..and I like them, plus it is something that has been tried, many years ago...The guys that created various examples, locally,..have always extolled the virtues of the mix,..and to be 100% honest,.I've had my finger on that red button for decades.... As a functional working canine with amazing physical attributes,.the best of these incredibly varied types really are quite something... Personaly,...I would have enjoyed getting a breeding program going, but time has run out for me,...I've missed the boat,...and as wee all know, supposition, boasts and hunches, mean feck all. Talk is dirt cheap,..but,....one can never say never, eh... We put , isnt the sib the most athletic . Bit like the saluki in terms can run at flat out pace over long distances were malamutes are the heavy load carryin plodders. From wat I seen there a shit load more drive in them sibs Quote Link to post

blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 bunnys.i bred a litter of gsdxg .at six weeks old there were only two out of the nine worth haveing .one was a dark brindle dog one was a silver brindle dog i went for the dark brindle one 27 inches 70 lbs greyhoundy caught daylight hares preban easily .the other one 28 inches 80lb silver brindle slightly faster and stronger .in malxg i would exspect in a litter of 9 three at the maximum to be any good.the trouble is as you say if you go and look at a litter of gsdxg .unless you get first or second pick you are not going to get the ones that have thrown to the greyhound.you are going to end up with a versatile but slow diesel powerd dog still usefull but not the best.which is why i think breeding your own is best if you want to get the best choice out of the litter 1 Quote Link to post
blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 shaaark.as i have said it is not theory it is fact .i have bred gsdxg and three maximum will break to the greyhound the same would apply to malxg Quote Link to post
bunnys 1,228 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 blacki of course i feel yas right , breeding thy own is going ta give thee the choice and one of course coulsd run a couple till around 3mths before final choice . good luck what eva thy does . atb bunnys. Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 i've never heard anything like it. caught daytime hares easy? dont make me laugh, aint any dogs catch daytime hares easy, unless they got no law or they're leverets. and where does this supposed brain come from in these malxgreys?! and even the diesel versions fast enough for foxes? havent run many foxes have we? ridiculous. but i had a ridgeback that used to fill in my tax returns, as well as a dobermannxyorkie that would take bison. ffs 1 Quote Link to post

I think for this country if you like those type dogs the gsd x ticks the boxes Quote Link to post
