Elchapo 3,172 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Think your limiting your self by having to have a good dose of whippet in it , there are plenty of decent 23/24 TTS saluki greys out there who run field and fen with cracking coats and feet who would kill stuff in the day on small fields just as well as if they had a lot of whippet in them ,if not better , youll find plenty more line bred saluki greys greys up for stud out there than saluki grey whippets , 1 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,231 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Deffo dont need that whippet blood i dont think just a sharp coursing type maybe bit of something else in there for the field running. Quote Link to post

I don’t want a dog what runs of in difficult places and won’t come back when it sees the moter I'd b sorting her recal befor getting her lined ? not being funny but don't matter were I work my dogs I want them back when they finished a run etc .

bendrover 556 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Good studs are hard to come bye . You need to know if he's already a producer . How strong his lineage goes back out of proven dogs. The traits he throws , and if they suit your bitches style . Then most importantly ask yourself is the bitch truly worthy of breeding, would all pups be placed in good homes . Would you be better getting a well bred pup out of more tested stock etc . If the decision is still to breed yourself. Then find the best suited stud pays your money. Travel to Timbuktu if needed and cross your fingers . You need a helluva lot of luck. If they don't click there's absolutely nothing you can do about it .atb drover Edited April 12, 2019 by bendrover 4 Quote Link to post

The litter I bred years back . I had 3 in mind . I sent messages to two of the owners . One owner asked a dozen questions about my bitch . The other owner sent back a simple message..." £1000" . Both extremely well bred . Great blood behind them . But I liked the sharp breeding behind dancers line and the fact the owner wanted to protect the studs reputation. I know he has turned numerous bitches away since . Says a lot . But most don't care and the £££s rule 2 Quote Link to post
