poxon 5,732 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Na no ones gone mad people have just moved on I recon people tend not to stick to standard crosses no more they like to mix it up a little an get creative I’m a beddy x fan my self but still recon to this day a bull/greyhound x saluki/greyhound takes some beating as a lampers choice of dog for all. Tbh I quite like listening to the saluki talk even though I’d never own a saluki greyhound there not for me but fully get why people are running them as there choice Quote Link to post

I'd sooner have a dog with a splash of bull in From a couple generations ago than a bull x with fresh blood in that's not up to it. I need to get some straws off my old saluki bull grey dog before he croaks. Trev on here bred the father to it he was half x to saluki grey the best allrounder I've ever seen then he got put to a saluki x and every pup out of the first and second litter to the same dam made the grade taking everything in front of them. Sadly there's only my big dog and a bitch out of the repeat mating left. 2 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,231 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Few about still. I like em and enjoy conditioning them. Will have another soon but i dont like them too tall myself prefer smaller stronger types. Had this dog from a pup but sent him back to his breeder after he had some bad luck really enjoyed having him about. 11 Quote Link to post
Kalibrgun 931 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I know there's still a few about but the lads I know with em wouldn't use em over a running dog they keep the circles tight and there's the divvys that you wouldn't let use a dog the types that would throw a black lab over a greyhound and even talk themselves into believing it's a bull x 2 Quote Link to post

shina 17 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Frigg me if you could only get hold of a lurcher with oldschool bloodlines with a bit of pit thrown in how mutch would it be worth now Quote Link to post
Penda 3,341 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Can't beat a decent half x I've had a couple 2nd gens they're weren't the best on big open field runs but of the slip they were like bullets hit stuff at 100 mile an hour my 1 bitch killed a few foxes before they'd even got chance to move off Quote Link to post

I don’t know how many pups that first cross bitch had over the years but I put a deerhound x greyhound over her, saluki x greyhound, a deerhound x bull greyhound, a ridge back x bull greyhound and a first cross bull greyhound and all the pups made handy dogs 1 Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,863 Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I was asked if I'd let a proper ,battle dog out over my greyhound bitch only last month,I refused as I've no interest in rearing a litter I'd have no use for myself,this dog is a multiple time winner in the box,the bloke guaranteed me decent money for pups from his mates but I think I've enough to be getting on with rather than rearing 1/2 cross pits 1 Quote Link to post
