Question For The Experienced...


Recommended Posts

Iv had half cross wheaten hounds and 3/4 collie hounds that I thought were the bees kness pal but I got a 3/4 bull last season and Iv never looked back . He takes rabbits with ease and has taken hares before I had him but he excels foxing wise around cover and holes . Money couldn't buy him to be honest and he doesn't get broke up to easy . Iv a pup coming back off him too so I think il stick to the bull cross from here on in . Horses for courses and all that carry on but whatever suits your needs best and the quarry you hunt

Good reading. Truth is, Duce (sire tothe3/4's) has some bull in him and it's plenty enough for me. I take whatever comes and can be running a coyote one minute and rabbits the next. I'm just trying to

Some lads have mentioned having Bull in the mix, imho if the "right" Greyhound is used the offspring should have enough gut and fire in the belly for any job. A good greyhound fears nothing.

I'm getting the impression that most 3/4 crosses ARE nearly as smart as the 1/2 crosses. I hope I'm reading that right. It would be nice if that were the case. If I'm not feeling the brains with this

When you say 3/4 do you mean 1/4 bull 3/4 something else or actually 3/4 bull 1/4 something else.

I have no experience of g.s.d / Belgium Shepherd or mallinios x greyhound but I imagine if you were totally against bull x grey. I would think they fit the bill for what I think your after. In their pure form that are pretty fearless (not game) but still a rough, Hardy animal. Very intelligent, trainable and crazy prey drive.good feet. And I'm sure you would have many a good dog to choose from in states for a breeding

So, I'm fairly new to lurchers and longdogs but I have some to this question. For someone who has the idea of wanting a lurcher that is big enough to handle most game and styles of hunting, would an old pro choose a first cross collie lurcher or a 3/4 bred collie lurcher?

 

Thanks in advance. :)

An old pro would rather drop her clouts in a less windy alley,an experienced hunter would pick a mutt that best suited his hunting lifestyle and terrain.Personally id not own a lurcher without Border Collie in the mix and id not own a first or second cross either.

If you do try source a greyhound bitch

Look for a strong running Kinloch Brae bitch.

why would you choose kinloch brae bitch instead of other breeding max what qualitys would they bring, would it be good on bends sprinting ability etc?
