Fuji - The greyhounds which are brainless, can't turn, are injury prone etc are ex racers aren't they.

 

Don't you think that one raised from a pup and brought up as a lurcher could be half handy? It would learn to use it's head and learn to turn and thus avoid frequent collisions that ex racers are prone to.

 

Maybe not on the terrain you run. But to lads who favour the faster racier typ

they would still lack wind mate....whats the point when a lurcher will do everything and more

I have a line bred pup the line has been going for 37 years don't think any pure has been added and there's plenty of speed in them just beddy grey x beddy grey

When we are making statements that a 'pure' needs to be added or we will lose speed, it is worth remembering that the coursing dogs of today have had no pure influence on many of their lines since the

im only making a comment on basic greyhounds my friend .ive trained greyhounds for syndicates etc in the past and kept and worked lurchers for nearly fifty years .ive been known to breed a few decent

If you were breeding pups would you breed from a lurcher that lacked,wind,had no jacket,was injury prone,had the turn of a double decker bus,was totally brainless,had never caught anything in the field? I wouldn't and by using a greyhound you are doing all the above..what's the point?

ask gaz his 5 year old daughter will tell you lmao
Sandymere has explained the benefits above NL. Have a read

so that makes it right lol do you beleive everything you read
No not at all. But when it's backed up with scientific data, and confirmed by several sources then yes I tend to believe it.

 

Why did you line your lurcher with a whippet/greyhound if lurcher to lurcher is the way to go and pure sighthound blood is not.

 

Genuine question. I'm baffled.

Is that from experience though? I've seen a greyhound in the field. It had more than enough wind and would do everything a half decent lurcher would. I aren't saying it was a world beater. But greyhounds aren't the bags of shit they are sometimes made out to be.

So lurchers do need to go to the pure sight hound now and again then? That's what I thought ?

so a grew is a pure sight hound is it not 2 crossed you might need to ask your daughter about that lol

A grew is pure sighthound. I don't need to ask anyone.

 

Sighthound x sighthound = sighthound.

Yeh that's fair enough.

 

I was advocating the use of a working greyhound. Not track bred.

 

Some folk are saying you never need to add sighthound blood and can just keep breeding lurcher to lurcher. That's worlds apart from breeding to a grew.

how fast dose a lurcher need to be to catch a rabbit? I never bred anything other than coursing dogs and I know (from experience) another dose of greyhound after the first cross is a mistake. atb two crows.
