2/8 Deerhound and 6/8 Greyhound ! Why not say 1/4 Deerhound and 3/4 Greyhound. Like Jukel123 mentioned the difference between a top Greyhound and an also ran is the blink of an eye, any Greyhound you use will add speed but for Lurcher breeding  you also want temperament and a hardy bitch that's had plenty of races and has been bullet proof over her career. I also like to breed from sprinters as they tend to be bigger,powerful bitches. jmo

2/8 and 6/8 suggests divvy to me, like telling about the greyhound and not what parents can do, price well enough said.

How much..!!

When Len French bought React Fraggle, the Waterloo Cup winning greyhound, his puppy prices (at that time) to decent coursing dogs where no where near this...

At £1200 a pop for a pup they better come with wings like pegasus catching fur and feather day and night .

React Fraggle ' React Fagan ' that's a blast from the past

Fagan/Faggle couldn't remember which... I think he paid either 14 or 17k for it... And put it up for stud.

Any idea what height the dog was Max ? Looking on greyhound data and he was a big looking dog and weighed 96lbs! Did he ever throw anything decent in the Lurcher side ? Cheers Mick .

He didn't throw much that made any sort of name for themselves, that i can remember Mick. I remember Len showing him to me and he was a big 'ol lump of a greyhound, out of field condition but he had some substance to him and a back like a coffee table.

They wern't the type of lurcher i was running at the time but the puppies he bred from it to coursing bitches were real nice...
