Ross M 149 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I like the sound of collie/gh nice thick set type, hopefully produce real durable types for the rough and tumble of wood land hunting Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 i would'nt get hung up on the breeds ,just get a sire you like ,try and see it work,and if it fits the bill go from there. 6 Quote Link to post
Dame92 387 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Coursing bred lurcher Benji/splodge breeding which has lamped thousands of rabbits over the years,if a dog was performing well at its job i wouldnt be blinkered with similar types,sometimes an out cross could improve a strain.Nice dog him runem, how old? just under six now. He's a nice animal mate. Are these pups out of him? Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,484 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 People usually cross to radically diffrent types like going back to greyhound when they are unsatisfied with the dog they have. If you are happy with the dog you have why would you not want to reproduce it again,and if you are not happy with it why breed from it? Quote Link to post

JAE B 549 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Collie grey x saluki grey ? Quote Link to post
blitz87 49 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I think alot of coursing dogs dont have the urgency needed for lamping rabbits or catching bolters.they catch them no doubt but not aswell as a lurcher with very little saluki Quote Link to post
blitz87 49 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Beddy whip grey or collie whip grey something like them would be my choice Quote Link to post
nans pat 2,575 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why would you need coursing blood in a rabbiting/lamping dog wind.......ive 1 bred like this can run all night. 1 Quote Link to post

Hes already got a 3/4 whippet ,they dont come much racier. Quote Link to post
blitz87 49 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Katchum its not keeness with coursing dogs there keen its more there running style they go the long way around to get the rabbit if you know what i mean it isnt needed for a rabbit just a quick direct straight to the point type is needed for rabbits on the lamp thats my opinion and the coursing type isnt it Quote Link to post
blitz87 49 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Katchum if we were talking preban quarry though i would say coursing dog x lamper make good edible quarry dog but thats a different topic atb 1 Quote Link to post

Yeah but it will keep pups racy, add better feet and more wind, aswell as other stuff imho. depends on what he wants don't it, I'm just saying what iv seen and will do myself pal y I've got a 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy and if I were to breed ( which I won't) I would look to put the size up a little, grey x bed or A grey x whip would be my choice I reckon. She's a real trier but those extra couple of inches sometimes let her down IMO, small paddocks and tight fields she's mustard, on bigger arable she'll struggle.. Think keeping that speed off the mark for ferreting bushing ect plus adding a few inches would be the way I'd go. Quote Link to post
nighteyes 275 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) coursing bred dog x colle/grey , seems to mix well for the lamping game Edited December 30, 2015 by nighteyes 7 Quote Link to post
fluff 409 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 if your only hunting rabbits , i would go for the whippet greyhound colie type d slieght used to breed clever fast and durable , he won 2 feild trails several obeidence things and were decent workers , he had aliter 2 years ago mates got a litle brindle dog spot on 24 at shoulder Quote Link to post
