WILF 46,793 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Genuine question, what does the pointer side of things bring to the party in a lurcher? I have GSP and lurcher so I'm genuinely interested, one of my GSPs was a fox killer but I have to say you wouldn't want her style of dealing with foxes in a fox killing lurcher. It f***ing ruined her if I'm honest, she turned into a very untrustworthy dog round stock, other dogs and strangers. My GSPs nature suits a GSP but I personally wouldn't want any of those traits in my lurcher. Be interesting to hear your thinking on the subject boys. Quote Link to post

Are the gsp and the gwp the same dog temperamentally and physically just with a different jacket? Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 This is a splendid cross for a Moucher..,... Possibly more suited, physically,.. to the type of land where a lurcher can be worked with a free reign,..and allowed to hunt, as a true working dog should hunt... 6 Quote Link to post
bolty 45 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 has most will now i bred the pups has for what the german wirehaired pointer brings to the cross i bred them because i lost my dog a first cross wirehaired x greyhound last september so wanted a replacement same he was a excellent dog hat what i used him for fox mainly would find any where he loved the open hill where he could free range the most biddable dog you could wish to have but when needed to could turn it on just what you want in any lurcher brains then you want a good nose stamina sound feet that can run on most terrain good coat and temprement my dog had all of that but he had a weakness some where in side . the one thing i will say with the first cross they have a stiff leg action when running thats why when i bred these pups i looked for the outcross to take it to the next stage by putting the 5/8 greyhound collie a cross the wire haired x greyhound bitch .I was more than happy with the turn out of the pups . the wire haired his a diffrent animal to the smooth and the imports are the ones to go for they take to it natural i have a pure wirehaired bitch here now only forteen months hunting foxs and grabbing them with a very high prey drive but i have to be down on her she his a diffrent animal to what my half cross was more boistruss but she his young sorry its gone on a bit but hope it answers a few of questions . 6 Quote Link to post
billhardy 2,342 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 That's a belter of a welp and I would think going on the breeding will do well ,I know bolts would have matched the bitch well fa a sire to the welps and think just that quarter or even eight will put loads a quality on the Lurcher fa a daytime moucher real quality good luck with her atb bunnys. 1 Quote Link to post

bolty 45 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 just a bit of a up date on the pups they are seven months old now i still have three here a dog and two bitchs the dog hat the moment his about twenty four a very rangy dog they seem to carry a lot of the colly gene in there make up got the drive of the pointer they are very agile pups and very bold nothing seems to phase them they are natural jumpers and will get over any obsticles that get in there way they are very biddable pups no cover seems to fase them the two bitchs are smaller than the dog but they are about 23 at the moment they can run these pups guite capable of catching rabbitts anywhere and take fox i dont think that they will be out and hare dogs but will be quite capable of takeing some . RIGHT I WOULD BE WILLING TO LET THE ONE BITCH GO she his a lovey bitch she his black and white speckle marked all over i would say she will even out at about 24 to 25 she his a lovely long bodid bitch they all have cracking feet are a very natureall working instinct this pup would catch rabbits now . any one that his interested in this cross want go wrong this pup will only going to the right person so dont even bother to contact me if you are fully comitted and some one who sells on at the end of season or decided you havent got the time . i am letting one go because i cant put all the time in to the three nothing wrong this pup the person that does have her will be more than pleased .thank you . 2 Quote Link to post
white van man 3,310 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 That’s a good offer for someone mate. Hope she goes to the right home. Sure she will. Another 6 months down the line and I would have bitten your hand off. Sure someone on here will offer her up a good home. ATB. 1 Quote Link to post

Shortstraw 476 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 It'll be hunting covering lots of ground compared to most lurchers that are bred these days that will just be sniffing around the nearest path. 1 1 Quote Link to post
