Its the best way to go imho to produce very versatile lurchers .A bitch i had bred out of the caithness dogs to a well known coursing dog called the beast. Well before the ban when pic was taken.

That wasn’t a coursing bred dog. He was 3/4 grey, 1/4 beddy. The smooth bitch in the picture was the pup from some of the others in the picture.

Yes mate. The caithness dogs were small stamina packed whippet types bred by a lad up their that used to do a lot of lamping.

whats the father to you pup mate, your old dog was bred by a good mate of mine saw several of that litter run.

Mine is mostly coursing blood with collie / grey bred in a generation back if I remember correctly. She can catch where others can't on wet arable and is fast and agile for a 26" dog. Loves using her nose and tries her best to work cover, unfortunately also makes her a bugger for hunting on. Other downside is a weak jaw and lack of strength, even if it was pre-ban she is not suitable for retrieving anything other than rabbits. If I lived somewhere with enough rabbits to give her loads of runs in quick succession lamping or ferreting when younger I could have got better discipline but as it is she's a bit of a liability. Close in she's very responsive and I can usually call her off game, but once games on it's a different matter. Feel like I've failed this one to an extent by not making the best of the abilities she has that a more skilled handler could have made more of, but she has a good life so it is what it is. In a different world I'd consider lining her to something like a big fast collie greyhound in spite of her failings because I think there's the raw material to produce decent all rounders, but there's enough lurchers around with not enough jobs to do and I need a litter of puppies to rear and home like a hole in the head so it's never going to happen.
