ATB with your search mate that's the exact reason we used tigger at a young age because penny was getting on and tigger could have died at any time .so I can understand were morton is coming from. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 What would happen tho if the dog ended up a tube, what would become of the pups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooster cogburn 68 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wouldnt you be better off using his mother to a dog of you choice and that way you might get more of your lines through from the genes from the dams side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIK 4,756 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I offered the sire to use again anytime but the dam is gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Are there no sisters,nieces,aunties floating about? probably not otherwise you'd have been sorted no doubt. Could you not use his dam? Inbreeding i know but needs must i suppose. Regardless ,hope you find a suitable bitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,563 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 If a lot of the bloodlines gone,I'd say last thing he needs is prey drive or the do or die attitude of a bull cross. Good luck on your Quest Morton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could you not use his dam? Inbreeding i know but needs must i suppose. Regardless ,hope you find a suitable bitch. I know of an Auntie to him and am trying to persuade the owner to put a litter through her,anything else is either dead,to old or ive no contact.Im on the look out for a pup yet Deerhoundy/Collie lurchers are thin on the ground and genuine bred-uns are scarcer still,im set on that type of breeding as it as served me well enough for many a decade.The major factor is the dog itself,id prefer a pup with him in the mix,i rate him and my lad won,t give him back.

The breeding throws large litters,6 is enough for the bitch and to source decent homes for.I understand were you are coming from and its possibly something i should have left to discuss with any prospective breeder.Anybody that wanted to leave a full litter of say 9 or more id not use their bitch.
