Merlin21 143 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Took the dogs for a walk today and a woman in my old mans street said she had a lurcher pup and she thinks it is a crossbreed ! i tried not to laugh and told her all lurcher's as cross bred , she then asked what could it be ? i said i wouldn't know with out looking at it , she then said it's got fluffy ears lol ( i was thinking maybe some saluki in it )... ... her husband/boyfriend brought out the said pup asking me if i thought it had staffie in it , they had 2 staffie's in the garden the same colouring and marking as the pup . there are some mad people about ... and they're a right pair ...

Not everyone knows lurchers are cross breeds anyways what do you think was the cross it had staffie in it by the look of the head but hard to say what else was used , the guy was holding it and i just wanted to get away , i had 3 dogs on a lead and they were tangling me and them up wanting to go for our walk , we had just left they only live 100 yards away .. so I made my excuses and left . it was a nice looking pup though ..

paulsmithy83 567 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Someone asked me what you think this dog has in it. I always reply the same couldnt tell you as lets be honest if you can tell what breeds of dog are exactly in it just by looking you belong on the all might chair upstairs. Yes you can take an educated guess but it would be just that a guess. 1 Quote Link to post
