shaaark 10,825 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Deer/grey x collie/grey. Or collie/grey x whip/grey. Or grey/collie/grey. Or a combination of said typeslike your choices mate good xs As with everything fieldsport orientated though, you'll probably get about 20 different answers for more or less the same activity lol. I think it really just boils down to the type you fancy at the end of the day. Saluki x's, brain dead. Collie x's, no drive. Beddy x's, too headstrong,.......... piffle! If you like a type enough, you'll make a pretty good dog out of it, regardless of how it's bred. I'm talking general sort of work mind, not specialist tasks Edited May 10, 2017 by shaaark 2 Quote Link to post
strongbow1 257 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'd always kept beddy crose and still have one here now, but when my last bitch died lamping didn't want to try to compete with her so got a saluki collie grey, and honestly can't fault her, so that would be my choice 1 Quote Link to post

grompz 703 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 run all sorts off different lurchers over a good few years,my own and good mates dogs,when i used to do alot of daytime work always worked beddyxs with whippet or grejyhound in them,now as im getting older and where i live these last few years i have gone back to my first true love in lurchers the deerhoundx greyhound hybrids, not every bodys cup of tea,but this type of lurcher really helped me out when times were hard,so its definetly the deerhoundx for me, closely followed the beddy x, every body has there favourite type of lurcher,but if it suits your life style ,what you hunt,and type of land you run on, then atb. 1 Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Deer/grey x collie/grey. Or collie/grey x whip/grey. Or grey/collie/grey. Or a combination of said types I've got a bitch here 4 years old similar bred to how you say above. Deer/grey/Collie/grey x deer/whip/grey. Only 24" but made a nice bitch. Took a very long time to mature but got there in the end and she's very useful to have about now. Quote Link to post
