I don't think they are rubbish by any means Quote Link to post

I don't think they are rubbish by any means The best balanced Deerhoundy lurchers are better with something else in the mix,at times.I find the Collie influence brings an edge to the breeding that nothing quite comes close to,the Collie as an habit of doing that with lurchers. 2 Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 What could a dog bring to lurcher breeding that hasn't been worked properly in hundreds ofor years over a collie that are some of the most talented working dogs out there Quote Link to post
