Looking For A Small Lurcher/breeder

[nothernlite 18,076]

Go on fb there's a page beddy whippet appreciation group for of non working beddy whippets and there's a few peddlers on there

[Dinosaurs 2,035]

Also contact a couple of greyhound rescues as they some times have lurchers or may know of a rescue that has. Hope you find what your looking for & good luck. Atb

I agree with the above it’s the best place to get a cute little whiplington fur baby from and it’ll probably be a horsey person peddling the litter.

@troyboy17 I think Navek was talking to me. I was fairly braced for hunting types not giving me the time of day because I am not also a hunting type but I was vaguely hoping that a fellow 'dog person' would be prepared to be civil.

 

As far as choice of dog is concerned, pretty well every dog has a 'purpose' and most of them don't get to fulfil it. My horse is 'for' bullfighting but somehow she manages to survive doing English horse sports instead. I have even heard of isolated cases of families owning Labradors that aren't used for retrieving game. As a family we chose lurchers because yes, my husband likes the look of them (hence the 'rough coat' piece) but initially we started down the 'sighthound' path because of their famous runs-around-a-lot-then-lies-down qualities. As I say, the existing dog is well exercised (and the vet couldn't believe how fit he is for his age) but we're not part of any lamping/hunting 'set' (and frankly, I'm not feeling encouraged down that path at the moment). He's showing zero interest in rabbits so far but he's only young. We have space for him to chase them if he wants to.

 

Anyway, per original question, if anyone knows any breeders of small, not-necessarily-working-stock lurchers I'd be delighted to hear from them. If not, you'll probably not hear from me again so there's no need to get the pitchforks out.

 

Am I reading that right............your vet couldn't believe how fit your nearly 4 month old pup was?

Hi, your best bet would be to goto a rescue, maybe you will pic a 12month old failure up, so called dog men. Some of the best homes are pet, work homes where are hounds are family but do what they love to do "hunt" go to any rescue and there's dozens of sighthounds etc, how many didn't make the grade [BANNED TEXT] 12months old. And those who breed lurchers etc and let them go to so called working homes just to be dumped etc and given up as failures [BANNED TEXT] they should even be entered then shame on yous. Never put pet homes down, yes are breeds love to work, but as above better a good pet home than a shit working one. Plenty of lurchers in pet homes and good on them, pts or spoilt pet, I know I'd want my dogs to goto a loven home if the worse happened. Go on lurcher rescue sites, flat cap bedy whippet on Facebook also have pups and travelers rest I think as pups sometimes, atb j

Flat cap beddy whippets is a very good friend of mine and he hasn't bred a litter from his own bitch for a good while now however I do know that a lad from Newcastle way is going to use my pals dog over his bitch again as a repeat mating as from what I gather all the pups out the litter are doing well.

 

If you pm me I could put you onto him

Thank you - upon consultation, Newcastle is just a bit too far

No where to far for the right breeding

[forest of dean redneck 11,535]

Then your better off searching gumtree/preloved and pets4homes as then your find one within your budget/travelling range.
