Greyhound bitch on heat needed

[Guest dondog]

Hello anybody out there got or know somebody who has a Greyhound bitch that will be coming in to season soon about Christmas or new year and would consider letting me cross my Bedlington with it so I can get a dog pup for me.

I don't have the room or time or experience to just go and get a bitch that I don't want and have no real use for after giving berth and it is cruel just getting a bitch then getting rid after.

I am not fussy about if it is a coursing or track type would be nice if it was any good at either though.

I am in Lancashire so reasonably local would help me but depending on offers I will consider anywhere.

I have put a couple pics below took last week but there are more pics and more details on the dog on the terrier link Working Bedlingtons 2005 on page 19.

There must be somebody out there has a Greyhound bitch they want to breed from.

thats a nice dog ya got there, [bANNED TEXT] does he catch? if you want a pup from it ya might have to do the breeding yourself, not often you can find a bitch owner that wants to breed a litter just on a whim for someone else. finding suitable homes for the remaining pups is best done first.

Mostly rabbits but he's up for anything just too big to get to ground.

Selling first cross genuine Bedlington Greyhounds will be very easy they are a good all round dog they come out like peas in a pod and are a know quantity.

Medium sized, rough coated, thick skinned, superb nose and game,not necessarily very clever but not totally stupid.

i agree with kiwi, not many owners want to breed a dog across there bitch they no nothing about, just for the sake of the owner of the dog to have a pup.. a bit cheeky if anything, and when you say it would be easy to sell them, i think is wrong :search: , no point breeding unless you have homes for pups already... just my views tho.

Hello Tarmac

 

If somebody has a greyhound bitch and was thinking of breeding Lurchers out of her they could do a lot worse than cross her with something like my dog .Genuine first cross pups go very quickly at about £200 each. I know from past experience trying to by one my self,when I have called they have all gone with in days of advertising.

Greyhounds regularly throw out 10 pups and more .I wouldn't say them making up to £2000 cheeky.

I know one well bred 6 month old Greyhound pup can fetch that.

Greyhound kennels like in Ireland throw out thousands of greyhound per year and the only way to make decent money for young pups is to pay top money for a top stud.

And then you have to try and sell your greyhound pups while there are thousands available at the same time most of which similar quality.

 

There are not thousands of genuine first cross Bedlington Greyhounds for sale.

But when the odd litter comes up for sale they go very quick.

 

Unlike the Heinz variety types that turn out all shapes and sizes with strange and wonderful mixtures most of which are made up and have no real idea what the Sire and Dam are.

 

It's simple market forces there are not many first crosses for sale and there is always lots of people looking for first cross pups.

i tend to agree with [bANNED TEXT] ya saying mate, i have guys asking for my boxer/labs as well and maybe in a few years i'd be able to supply them with one, however for me to put my bitch through this litter again would mean me losing out on three times as much for doing the same litter as pure breeds how ever i do want a yellow boxer/lab so i guess i have to give up the money for the purpose of my sport lol. if i was in your shoes i would just find a pure greyhound bitch and do the cross yaself, i'll go out on a limb and state that some guys do put too much energy into only breeding proven worker to proven worker and losing out on some great first crosses, these are the best to bring out the hybrid vigour and the best in both breeds used, although it can work the other way too i might add. if the cross you are planning on doing has a ready market for the pups do it ya self you can always sell the bitch at a later date to someone with the promise of a free jump to produce the same pups if the pups all turn out ok

Hello Kiwi

 

Thanks for not mentioning the rugby last night

 

If I had the room I would not even bother asking if anybody had a greyhound bitch they were thinking of breeding from.

I live in a small modern terraced house with a tiny back yard in a large built up town ,it takes a hour to walk to the nearest farm fields.

Without a car my dogs I have had would have never seen game.

Getting a greyhound is the easy bit I live seven miles from one of the major greyhound tracks in England,trainers beg people to take old greyhounds of only four years old many even younger through injury or just won't run clock work hares.My dad had one when he was a kid it was very fast but was terrified of lights so running round a flood lit track was a none starter.Lots of very good greyhounds get given away for all sorts of reasons.Bitches in the racing world are worth less than dogs they can't race for ten weeks when on heat then they run shit for another six or seven weeks after.If a good dog like droopys Shearer or premier fantasy brake a leg they are put to stud immediately ,but if they are a bitch the chances are they are put down there at the track as worthless.

Getting a grehound is easy try getting a working bred 19 inch Bedlington that's a lot harder.

But if nobody is interested I will just have to wait until the right opportunity comes up,some one has offered me their out sized whippet but I have never seen it to make a decision ,and somebody on here has PM me to say if I get a greyhound when I have finished with it and have no room to keep it after he would like to have it for his breeding program.

 

I am curious why any body wants a Lab/Boxer cross.Has being up side down for so long effected you some how?

[Tarmac 1]

Well everyone is entitled to there views, and i stand by mine, worker to worker, tight line.Breed pups when people you no want them, not for money. and i'll not carry this small issue on any longer. so i wish you the best of look :kiss: :search:

The only rugby Kiwi real rugby not that union crap.

 

I am still curious why boxer are they different down under because here in the UK they just about the most useless soft as shit pets that look hard and very rarely are if ever.

I have never heard of anybody actually using them for anything other than as stick and ball chasing pets.

Some armies have used them as guard dogs in the past but that was a long time since.

If you are ever tackling anything that fights back and usually bigger than the dog there is only one breed that springs to mind that is of coarse the Pit bull.

All I can think of is they must a lot different to ours.

This is a serious question I am not taking the piss I am curious. :search:

 

Unless somebody on here knows different and actually heard of one doing anything of use what so ever.

nothing wrong with a well bred boxer, hard as and can run all day, they would also be the most natural pigdogs around i reckon, i have seen pet boxers go off at the smell of pigs on my dogbox, my bitch gets stuck into any pig, she is the only dog i have had to get a rip collar for she is so keen lol. i don't rate pitbulls as hunting dogs they get used alot but i reckon they are overated, staffies are just as good and have a more stable temp. pits don't live long on our pigs as a general rule, unlike the aussie's we don't use armour and protection collars that much, we hunt in thick wet bush alot, and a 140lb boar will kill any pit alot quicker than any other breed, nuffing against the breed but there is such a thing as too much guts :11:
