Patterdale X Greyhound

[Dame92 387]

Was talking to my mate a while back and he asked why do people not try this cross. People use bedlingtons across greyhounds etc. I was wondering if anyone has came across this cross?

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Never seen or heard of one.

 

What would it bring to the table what we don't already have available in lurchers?

 

Apart from mixed litters? Lol.

[Somewhereyournot 1,117]

How many bedlingtons , Irish terriers and wheatens are being worked as they should before producing lurcher litters?

 

It's a fair question as patterdale seem to be the choice of terrier, and some are quite leggy as well.

there already x them to whippets and they made great illte dogs for rabbits,rats . regards x to greyhound as been said there plenty of good proven xs already to choose from . but when you look at it who would have thought that 45 years ago they would x an apbt to greyhound lol, but they did ,and that drop of pit deff was for the better well in my eyes it was . so you never know do you well bred pat from good working lines , carnt be any worse than apbt ,as both were bred for guts, strenght,,agilty ,brains both breeds got plenty of grey matter . so you never know do you anything can happen in lurchers today , i work a 1x gsd xgrey and Buck great dog he ticking all the boxes for me, some times we all get bit kennel blind .lol

i used to think this n that x, but now as long as it sounds right to me, il give it a go. Said I'd never have saluki in a dog, but got pup here with it in, albeit only a small portion.

Never say never... Lol

It's a cross I'd take a chance on if its from a good proven stock surely they'd make grafters on all quarry

I'm sure one of Geoff burrells mates used a red Lakeland (Middleton strain, I think) on a greyhound.http://www.lurchers.org.uk/outcrosspups.html

I think it's something I'd like to try in the future

Mixed views on this , after you've gone a couple of generations and stableised the litters in theory , why not . as said Wheaton's are used , and I think temperamets would be similar . but it would not have the desired effect in the first litter ... As I say mixed views but maybe a possibility .

[neil cooney 10,416]

My first ever lurcher was 1/4 patterdale but sadly was killed at a young age but she was making a nice shape.

IMO it would make more sense to use a patterdale over a greyhound than a bedlington and I've seen a first cross litter of border cross greyhounds that were most definitely racey enough for fox and rabbit.

When there's people out there silly enough to put poodles etc. to a greyhound it surprises me that there's no one breeding patterdale crosses.

After all ,it's one of the gamest breeds on the planet.

Just remember to put the greyhound bitch standing in a hole first, LOL.

[hubbs 178]

In my head though I like the patterdale the size they are , any bigger you'd have you're hands full lol

I think I would keep what I wanted then knock the rest unless a few people were really interested in them, but like I say something for me to think about in the future

Sensible answer if you were going to try it , then its the way to
