It's ok in small doses

Just like Anything

A nip of salt is ok

Too much ruins the broth

 

Wish Cameron and Co would listen DB

 

Some good well bred genuine first crosses would give the lurcher gene pool and welcome boost.

 

Loads of options going forward from that cross.

 

How many genuine first crosses are there about ?

No good first crosses out there at the minute as far as I know needs some new blood in the mix

Same old same old for me..will have a couple of six year olds and had I been still lamping them 4 nights plus per week they would be coming into their prime..every lamp dog I've owned have took their biggest tallys in their 6th & 7th year but alas they won't be doing that lol but I'm sure they will keep on doing a job for a while yet,another just turned 7 so another couple of year left in him then I have a couple of young uns and hopefully a pup out of Romeo all being well to fetch on over the summer..happy days lol

It's from a bitch originally from London mate,Ditchy up here in Cumbria has her now just as a brood,i think shes 6 year old? he did tell me her breeding but I've forgot haha, all this Saluki hybrid blood has me confused which to be fair don't take a lot lol,I know she had a big reputation she's a white & brindle bitch,her dams a greyhound but this bitch could stay all day so I was told with 5 minute plus runs not an issue? Anyways if the breeding comes off I will give one a go and see what we can do with one? I've heard good things about Romeo so I'm looking forward to getting one of his pups..
