Dbod 59 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks lads,yes big changes in everything,when I was growing up and starting off with lurchers,the top lurcher was a 3/4 bred collie greyhound or the first cross deerhound greyhound,big enough to take a fox or hare,and loads of brain for rabbits day or night,but now I read its all saluki or bull,.....and most lurchers have a bit of bull in their makeup.
