What type whippet stud are you after, pm me if you prefer

Just honest working whippet mate , breeding is still in thort , it was a friends whippet that brought it to mind really but unfortunately it’s life was cut short ,pups would have been kept between friends , it’s having surplus that puts you off breeding ,many years now since I’ve bred but not forgot it

As I see it there welcome to churn out  litters after litters unless the lurcher world has changed , as I remember it if you had surplus you used to get every nutter in the country ringing or visiting you ,and not really wanting a pup in the first place

How do you think the current price rise in pups will effect the quality of pups bred in the long run for work this was a question I was asked today by a old hand in the working dog game what’s your views on this? 

the more expensive the lurcher the lower the quality and experience of the breeder,Saluki bred exempt,unless its from Ireland.

In our time pups cost feck all and there was an awful lot of decent uns about,an awful lot of dross,as the dross cost feck all it was easier to stomach.Now decent lurchers are like hens teeth and expensive dross suits the modern lurcher owner.

It dismays me with the quality of lurchers bred now,on the whole,not fit for purpose should be thrown at the majority of breeders and the expensive shite they produce.Its not difficult to produce an half decent lurcher and cover the cost of breeding.It seems caviar and atlantic salmon is a dietry requirement of modern breeding,often by owners who cannot peel a spud or catch a trout.
