desertbred 5,490 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 without some one doing a first cross you wouldnt have any other crosses would you? 4 Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 i understand that, but they have done it, an a long time ago, an they result was some real good coursing dogsw, bred for a job, they have evolved now to be better at catching hares. so why go back to the start?? why start again when somebody has done all the hard work an time consuming job of taking the 1st crosses further and bettering the type, its madness, the plummer was made up f beagel, bull an russel blood if i remember right, dont see many folks trying to breed them from scratch again do you?? thats because as the generations progress, then so does the ability of the dogs like i said all the very best with them 3 Quote Link to post
