Caravan Monster 323 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I've had 2 saluki lurchers with a bit of collie lurcher blood in them. The old one took more to the collie side and was steady, easy to live with, had a bit of a crunchy mouth and you wouldn't loose sight of her for too long in the field. The current one is more to the saluki side and is still puppy-ish at over 3 years old, in a different league for speed and endurance and has a soft mouth. She is a bit much for the land around here with people and roads everywhere, but somewhere with wide open spaces she would be in her element. She is hard work, but I wouldn't change her. 1 Quote Link to post

Loads of different stories of how Fettle was bred. The Story I got was her Sire was a dog called Dan who was litter bro to Kifa. Dan was by Sam' who was a litter bro to Nipper and Foxy. Sam was by Micky Drews Joe and out of Nuttalls Seagull. Joe was Merlin x Lilly. Seagull was Fred x Eve Dan's Dam was Harrigans Lucy what won the Fieldfare Challange. She was by Blackarse a saluki greyhound and out of Jade a feathered saluki greyhound. Think I was told Blackarse had something to do with Dancer ? By all accounts Fettle Dam was Betsy. who was by Dels Luke and out of a sister to Seagull. Luke was Duke x Dels Molly. Duke was the Street Accident x Dels Anna Molly was out of Ruff x Dels Queenie ? Seagulls sister was Mucullochs Fred x Eve. Fred was Saluki greyhound x Flys sister . Eve was Prince a pure Saluki x Gypsy. There you go ' weather that's somewhere near the truth who knows ????? my understanding of Fettle's breeding?? sire GA's Dan= Sam x H's Lucy dam (name?)= Nipper x Betsy(Biff x Daisy) Biff= Merlin x ? Daisy= Rebel x Eve Betsy's breeding came from the man that bred her 1 Quote Link to post
