Guest Kel1 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Gday i live in Victoria, Australia and am interested in getting a lurcher pup. I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice about what breeds i should have in the dog. They would need to be very fast and so probably have a large percentage of whippet and greyhound however i would also like to have some kelpie. Are there any other breeds i should have in the dog and what percentages of each breed. could i have a half cross of kelpie without making the dog too slow? Quote Link to post

Guest Kel1 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hey hares and rabbits particuarly also possibly foxes. so it would have to be very quick to catch hares also it would need to have brilliant take off because most of the time rabbits would be running to other cover not that far away so would need to catch it quickly if you know what i mean.

Stabs 3 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've got a litter of 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Beardie pups here at the moment. There's a nice brindle bitch going down to Victoria as it happens. There's s few dogs left if you are interested. Quote Link to post

Stabs 3 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm asking $200 mate. As I said, there's one going to Vic, one to Cairns and one to a Toowoomba dingo catcher. I'm keeping a bitch back and there's a few dogs left. And this one is the biggest of the litter....he's a brute Quote Link to post

Here are a few pics of the dam The sire was a track dog local to me. He's won a few races around here and down on the Gold Coast. He was 29" and 32kg and a really nice, laid back dog. If I wasn't taking a bitch, I'd take the last dog pup in the pictures above. He's always wanting to play and he's quite a character. The white one at the top with the brindle markings is by far and away the boldest. All the pups are friendly and are growing like weeds. I certainly hope they take hare as that's what I'll be running with them. This was on the lamp but I hope they have the minerals for daytime Quote Link to post
Guest Kel1 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 sweet as that dog looks great and that greyhound should give them plenty of speed. how r they going to be transported? where is the other one going to victoria going to? Quote Link to post
