Best x in my eyes if they throw right there's not as many genuine half xs about now obviously for certain reasons years ago they were every where but now there's very few

I've had 3/4 Deerhound/Greyhounds  3/4 Bedlington/Greyhounds  3/4 Bull/Greyhounds and not one of them grafted better than the 1/2 x stuff they where bred from. I've also owned/seen some decent 5/8x.There are good 3/4 cross kicking about but I've never had any luck with them. In a Foxing dog imho you seem to sacrifice a lot for the little bit extra speed you get with a 3/4 bred as well as being  more injury prone .

Good honest reply mate. That’s what I’m cautious of. If I could find a proper grafting. 3/4 bred I d breed the 5/8 litter but to be honest ringing lads all over there’s not one been mentioned doing what I would expect it to do.

I have a strong built 3/4 grey 1/4 bull that is almost 3. Although I would rather wait a few more years down the line to put him to a bitch, im not sure if he will last that long, only because he is full on do or die and have had a couple of close calls recently with him. Just throwing it out there if that's of any interest as have all the breeding in my records going way back.

Do not hesitate mate I've done that once there gone there gone had a few good dogs I never bred from and when I thought I'd better get a litter it was too late they had been killed or that badly injured it was a pts job if he's doing what you want and your happy with him get a pip off him ?
