Think it’s the same with all crosses. You get a minority that know the breeds capabilities & get the best from them. The kennel blind ones that think they’re the ultimate machine. The clueless ones that just ruin whatever they touch. And the money men that do more breeding and selling than they do running. If we’re honest all breeds & lines have their pros and cons, there is no ultimate lurcher, just different dogs to suit different men. Nothing worse than kennel blindness it’s an illness that so many dog men suffer from 5 1 Quote Link to post
