Thing his Allan myself be better if going clean pure hound a greyhound be best. But fa a moocher lamper yas don't need tons of speed brain will give yrds a ground ,a good Lurcher would keep them strong robust and far more stamina durable biddable jukel and in all probability they would most likely be faster top end .atb bill 1 Quote Link to post

The thing his there's lots of very fast lurcher types about these days acceleration from a grew maybey da Conies may help but a mooching type jukel relies on the all important traits of the xs in the jukels bred and with a Labrador I would thinks scenting nose ability and general hunting ability the bit of speed his a added feature ta the xs I believe this no jukel can show its self and its qualities with out daily work either night or day or maybey both on some says lots of graft makes this type they need the graft to become anything where has some xs bred jukels can be happy with a run out at the. Weekend and muster fine ,a hounds a hound a jukel a workhorse and needs plenty off it. Atbbill 1 Quote Link to post

C.green 3,231 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Id say if you was gonna use a labrador you want a good example of one especially if your crossing to a grey dont want anything too skinny or youll end up with just small greyhounds that like to eat lol Quote Link to post

Str 793 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Go on Drakeshead website to see there dogs, abit of Drakeshead blood mixed in with show blood doesn’t make a Drakeshead dog.black Labrador in pic all Drakeshead blood,yellow dog mixed workings lines, yellow dog is 13 now,he was still used at stud at 8 i charged £150.these dogs picked up 3-4 days a week on busy shoots were 200-300 bird days,to do that dogs have to be very durable. 5 Quote Link to post

I like the dogs but I didn't think they were an ideal choice of build unlike some of the racier tall types. I'm fairly sure my mate isn't working show dogs but hey ho. I've never seen a lab x lurcher and haven't seen one work . Atb Joe Balata shut the feckup yes not on the same train , listen and learn atb bill Quote Link to post
