Breeding My Lurcher

[theman 17]

hello

ive got a whippet grey she has done so well at the shows this yr iam thinking of breeding her as shes just come in season,

shes 11 months old and won loads of trophys for racing and best in the show,

a lad i met at the bath and western show has an hancock dog which is doing well also,hes more tried and tested being 17 months old but we both think they will make excellant working pups between them so watch this space as if we go ahead this wednesday the knot should be tied

They sound great. You will sell them on here no probs, £400 minimum. Especially with all those trophys, they should make cracking workers! Nice one

Also, I too prefer to breed a young bitch as I think they bond better with the pups, as there still pups themselves and they look really cute playing together in the garden.

Personally though, I would stay away from a Working sire. Once they've started to chase rabbits, even if they haven't caught one, there still classed as workers and can be very aggressive after! My lurcher is from great showing stock, but when it see out pet rabbit, Fluffy, you can see him licking his lips, and I'm sure this has come from his dad chasing a rabbit once. Anyway we've called in a dog trainer/behaviourist so hopefully we can cure this.

I'd be very interested if all goes well, I only buy show pedigrees so stick me down for a bitch and can I have pictures of trophys as proof?

I thought this was a joke but looking at a few of your posts I fear it's not?

I took my dog to spilsby church fete last month and entered my dog into the waggiest tail comp and OMG he won!! It's the proudest moment in my whole life along side the birth of my 7th daughter. Officially he came 3rd but the 2 dogs above him had docked tails which is cruel and banned so I classed him as coming first. The judge said he had a real show quality and said I should think about turning pro, but I'd sooner retire him now and keep his 100% record, IMO.

Yeah that's a good idea then get him put up on the stud section £500 a mating make yourself a fortune

More lurchers that will be wank in the field maybe you should have a think about where the pups will end up before seing pound signs

If they excel in the ring does it really matter how they are in the field?
