Well bred saluki lurcher pups

[chartpolski 24,598]

If I wanted one of these pups, I'd pay £500 in a heartbeat !

But it's come to something that we now think £500 is a decent price for a lurcher pup.......I suppose it is when compared to the £1,000's people are paying for crossbreed potlickers like cockerpoos and such.

These coursing dogs have allways sold at a premium, way above "normal" lurcher prices, and lads have been willing to pay.

I don't begrudge what anyone gets for pups, it seems to be a sellers market, but I'm glad there's still people in our game breeding for the sport, not the money.

Cheers.

I remember reading something about ballreagan bob going into the coursing lines, a good number of years ago.  Is he the only greyhound that's been added to these coursing lines then?

Ballyregan Bob lined a pure saluki

I love watching old bits on greyhound racing mate really was another world bk then packed to the rafters shame its gone down hill

You're not wrong mate.  Back in the day, late 70's early 80's, the bigger greyhound races, derby, cesarewich etc, would regularly be on normal tv. Sadly, all gone.

Did the resulting offspring go into the coursing breds?

You can tell that a mile off mate. 
 

It costs me £100 to fill my truck up and about £150-200 a corner to put tyres on it.

So I can’t put four new tyres on the truck for the cost of one of those pups ..... the tyres will last a year if I’m lucky but most likely one will go pop within a few months.

I never seen Joe, I remember the little brindle Sally being a sharp runner
