TOMO 26,005 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm not suggesting a little whippet or whippet sized lurcher is the ideal thing to have for taking deer,,, but there are small ones out there well capable of taking roe,,muntys ect... 1 Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,693 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 hears two dhxgh x colliexgh the blue one was my 1st lurcher and is the uncle to the one i own now the blue one was a very good all rounder in his day sadly died doing what he did best and the nephewTwo smart looking dogs there gafer shame about the blue 1thanks ye it was mate was a real good dog filled the freezer plenty of timesFilling the freezer is what this type does better than any other type Yet another bold statement ffs bettet than filling the freezer than any other does it shop in iceland lolit is a bold statement but could a whippet put a deer in the freezer there are a few other types that can't eather it would suprise what we whippet size dogs can do ive not had a dog bigger than 21tts for a good few years now and they did fine and i bet theres a few lads on here with mike browns whippets that would say different Was just pointing out the fact that I've not personally seen a bedlington x with a good coat, well, one, about 30 years ago. Just bedlington, no other terrier type in the cross. He was a whip/grey x bedlington, and he had a better coat than any other bedlington x I've seen. And I've not yet come across any other type of lurcher that could fill a freezer as quickly and as regularly as deer/grey x collie/grey types. There might well be bedlington x's with superb coats, but I've not seen any, and there might well be other types as useful at filling a freezer as c/g x d/g types, but again, I've not seen any. And while I will agree that other types are better at ferreting, for everything else c/g x d/g is extremely hard to beat, for me 2 Quote Link to post
kps1979 1,308 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 On paper My bitch has 1/8 beddy in her, so not much at all, the rest is deerhound collie greyhound, although her coat looks nice it's a nightmare, it holds water like a sponge and picks up all types of foreign objects..! On the other hand her brother has a cracking coat by the looks of it, guess my bitch threw to the beddy.. 1 Quote Link to post
