Saluki Whippet Greyhound?

[slipper 116]

When my spaniel is trained I will be looking for a lurcher to work along side, this is the cross I was looking at what do you think? Its just for mooching and the odd night lamping, but are they the sort of cross that will last all night if they are fit? Any pros and cons? The fields I will be working are a mix of grass sheep grazing fields on hills, barley stubble / sowing, what are their feet like, I, m great full for any info, cheers

the best dog has a arounder i owned was this cross he wast a fox dog but was a dog that could take fox but on edible he was a educated dog that took good numbers on all different kinds of ground day and night would work with ferrets and work the light but i never took a pup out of him has i had seen better but there a cross i would use again

Top x this one lad, speed (greyhound) acceleration (whippet) and stamina (saluki) mine is mustard on rabbit

I had two dogs of this breeding,litter mates,speed and wind to burn,i could,nt live with their aloof nature and lack of grit,when the going got hard,dirty,wet and cold,they did,nt.Id source a Collie based lurcher,imo,it will give you a better end result,easier to train,easier to enter,may not have the same pace,yet pace can be a liability in a lamper,at times.

Think i would agree with morton bit of something else in the mix as well to much speed can mean alot of injurys at times

[blackmaggie 3,377]

i think something like birds bryn or fujis don would compliment a s/g/w and make a more hardy handy type

Have to agree I have one which hasn't had a full season yet due to injuries. Fast as hell with stamina to spare but I think some collie blood would go along way. Dean flutes pups should make great pot filling dogs
