Perhaps its just the circle i mix in but i only see lurchers in working homes ,why would you want 80lb of bull x lying on your sofa

They won’t be, they’ll be kenneled as if they’re a working dog, but they won’t be worked, usually because the lads that have got them are terrified to do a bit of freelancing. Most these lads that barely ever go would be flat out 2/3 times a week if they had loads of permission. Also they like to come on sites like this and make out they do plenty dog work, so they can impress people they don’t know and will never meet. Strange eh.

Man has a cocker..... breeds her to a cocker. Man has 6 cocker pups, sells them for £500 each which is a normal price for them. He’s ok?

Man has cocker.... breeds her to a poodle. Man has 6 cockerpoo pups, sells them for £1500 each which is a normal price for them. He’s bad?

Whats the difference?

No difference at all, if a person breeds pet dogs and does it right there’s absolutely no problem. If the bitches get looked after & don’t get the arse bred off them. Bitches get a good life, pups get well reared, nice families get a nice puppy, and the breeder makes a few quid out of it that the government don’t get their greedy claws in to in the form of taxes. Everyone wins. 
 

The problems start when people cross over & try to make money out of working dogs, this usually involves telling lies about the parents working ability. People buy them and get stung with shit stock, idiots lie again and breed again. The cycle continues until the working gene pool is full of shit. 
 

You’re not ruining anything by breeding cockapoos, they’re just pets, but if you breed lurchers, terriers etc out of shit stock then you are ruining something

OIf anyone looked at the litter in the initial post and went for one thinking it was a litter of working Lurchers then they are thick!

I totally agree with you by the way, with regard to breeding working dogs

The cockerpoo breeder did his research into what sells better

Had a conversation with a lad last night about how investiture Into a dog can only lead to people seeing some cash at the end of the tunnel . 

If you buy a top end coursing type , spend a lot of strong money on feed , fuel and fines, the majority of lads aren’t going to be putting pups out to strangers for a bag of James wellbeloved. 

It’s rare and refreshing to find lads that do , but by and large you should be offering to pay . 

If your in a circle of lads though etc and your getting something further down the line that’s a better way to do things I think .
