billhardy 2,342 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's no coincidence that f1 bull greys first generation are rarely seen these days and the same could be said if cur collie types ,not these robotics sheep dogs that are rubbish for breeding lurchers. There his still some good Irish staffs about form the Irish lines sphyco stuff that would fit the bill or farmers boy stuff a good one of that line would give lighter serviceable f1s . To much grey can only be a detriment even more so to an already fast twitch muscle bred animal one will find they're blowing out there a uses in a few hrs running ain't wise to get to presumptuous when breeding stock fa performance there's lots a learning ta do and the ginger fella still at the Kresh atb bunnys 5 Quote Link to post

IMO you don't need taller. The type the proper stuff throw that produce a Bitch 23/25" is handy enough for most things and a very decent tool to own. 2 Quote Link to post

dogmandont 9,825 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Agree with you bill, in my case it was just something I wanted to do as I had excess to good blood for both sides of the breedings. I'll never need full greyhound again but I think I took the right route in getting the base dogs to work from. Quote Link to post

Username forgotten 110 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Another entertaining read involving the bull x lol. Anything over 26 is to big imo to. And just to add a dog being marked up doesn't mean anything Edited July 21, 2017 by Username forgotten 1 Quote Link to post
dogmandont 9,825 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 We ended up with bitches from 24" to one dog that made 28". The next gen seems to be levelling out with the biggest dog making 26". Quote Link to post
