Terrier Sam 297 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Does anyone know anything about the greyhounds that he uses? Are they racers, ex track dogs, kept by him for breeding etc. etc.? Unless I'm not looking properly, I can't see any info on the greyhound side Quote Link to post
Sean Horgan 5 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 All the greyhounds are retired track dogs I got told yesterday Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yep they are all ex-track dogs. Quote Link to post
Terrier Sam 297 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 All the greyhounds are retired track dogs I got told yesterday Yep they are all ex-track dogs. Thanks at least the running instinct part is in them then. Much better than him having them just for breeding 1 Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 There's no doubt about it that his dogs make good workers in the right hands. The crabbers will always crab. 2 Quote Link to post
Terrier Sam 297 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I've heard a lot of good things about his dogs. The only people who seem to slate them are people how haven't had one and would never buy one. That Alex is a nice looking dog though. What sort of top end do you think you'd get out of an average 1/2 cross? Sam Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Top end as in size? my bitch is 23" tts and 6 months old tomorrow, should make 24-25 Seen an Alex bred dog that is 26.5" Quote Link to post

Unless I'm not looking properly, I can't see any info on the greyhound side If it's a greyhound he'll breed from it....many, many years ago Hancock had a greyhound bitch he called Motorway Lil.....that wasn't its racing name...he called it that as it was rescued from the motorway on more than one occasion.... And she bred the best dog I've ever had.... Quote Link to post
