Blackdog92 2,047 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Looking at the ozzy dog thread today made me think about wooly lurchers. Ive noticed a few on here and they are mostly coursing dogs i think. What is it in them that throws them that way? Do a lot throw that way and most people keep them shaved so you dont see it?

two crows 3,342 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 back in the early seventy's I bred some very good dogs with saluki greyhound and beddy whippet in them my best ever being a beddy whippet to a full suluki dog she was mother to some very good dogs but none of my breading went to beddy again so coats were allways smooth. however when salukis first started to influence coursing they were crossed with allsorts of lurchers to improve there coursing ability. and have been refined ever since. so like already said wooly coat could come from anywhere and the gene has locked in and if a wooly is a good dog and is bred from it will allways come out in some pups. atb two crows 1 Quote Link to post
