TOP POACHER!! 33 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 What's the benefits of putting a gun dog x running dog well if a lab, good feet+coat, good stamina brain, and natural retriever thats from the gun dog, the speed from the running dog , a 3/8 lab - 5/8 grey make good lurcher I just thought the gundog would take a lot of the speed from the running dog. But I suppose it's all down to the breeding Quote Link to post

But I suppose it's all down to the breeding yeh in some cases it would, but the 3/8 x 5/8 you got running dog both sides, these type prob never catch a daytime hare pre ban, but in the lamp they fill your freezer 1 Quote Link to post

wuyang 513 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Mine is 3 this month I believe. Dam spaniel.....sire lurcher,,, she's 21 inch and quite long, heavyish front end, but lurcher looking from back....when sat looks nothing like a lurcher. It's unusual to see a half cross that's not thrown black with a bit of white on it. I can't comment on what all spaniel lurchers are going to work like as an all round lurcher as I only use mine for daytime mooching, but I pretty sure for daytime hunting you'll get a grafter. Mines given me more pleasure to work in the daytime than any other lurcher I have owned. She would stand out in a crowd of much faster more suited looking lurchers at daytime hunting. If a first cross lurcher is your thing then I can't think of any other lurcher first cross that's generally available that would touch a spaniel/ gundog lurcher at day time mooching..... Sorry same old photos...i'll have to take some more Edited July 3, 2016 by wuyang 6 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,400 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Looks and sounds and ideal cross to me and designed for a bit of ferreting and day time bushing. Able to polish a few off in the lamp as well I would imagine. Nothing not like really Quote Link to post
Mars 42 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I started a similar thread a while back... Seems i`me not the only one that likes the idea of a retriver / gundog cross I just need someone with a sighthound bitch who`d be willing to join forces with me on this.. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/356485-retriever-crosses/page-2 Yis Mars...

No........different litter......She was an accidental mating, game keepers spaniel and very old lurcher. Her sire was a big old lad. I picked her up from a Hackness Grange North Yorkshire.....born end June/July.......they do all seem to look like peas in a pod. I pretty sure I talk to a bloke on here who might have had one out of that litter you talk about,,,, I don't know for sure, but I know his had bedlington and whippet in the lurcher side.
