what dog would you put over this bitch

[Guest mush]

Why would it be thin skinned???

JMO that bitch (which i have seen) will throw fine to a WXG, I've always found whippet is very dominant .

hmm good question, if the line didnt breed reasonably true to type and you coudlnt get a similar line that bred true to type, then i would go for a purebred dog out of what she is made up of

 

not bedlington, not collie

 

either whippet or grey, if its small fields then i'd be more inclined to go whippet

 

so i would knowing the littel about this dog that i do that whippet would be my choice, going by what i have read i am assuming the following

 

has good

stamina

speed

agility

drive

acceleration

 

doesnt seem to be line bred, but i dont know anything about this dog other then the first few posts Mark wrote

 

whippet should compliment them traits quite well i think, may bring the size down a touch

You'll just get a thin skinned whippet if you put that brindle bitch to a W x G. would think you would be putting her back to one of the dogs out of your last litter.

that is a good choice there mush,youre learning

If their the best dogs around as you keep telling everyone then you would be a bit silly if you bred to something else hay. ;-) LOL

i have never said my dogs are anything but rabbit dogs maybe i would like the choice of other things,but one thing is down here we have small fields and a big dog is not suited either is a heavy dog thats why you have retired them 2 big bull xs

years back all the lurchers around here were whippet types but when the new lamps came out and people started to want top lamping dogs instead of the one or two a night dogs, the size went up to 23-25 and most of the best ones i've seen down here have been of that size even with the small fields.

totally disagree with you,when i came down here i had already bought a country cottage in skinners bottom,not knowing the cottage are the surrounding area,i was lucky that the farmer next door was one of the most experianced lurcher folk i had ever met,and you proberly heard and new him,stanly carpenter.......i got out of my truck that tuesday and the 76 yr old with a walkin stick 2 lurchers and endless terriers met me,after talking for some 10 minutes he saw my 2 26 inch dh collie ghs pointed his stick and said what have you got them for,i told hiw and he said.....i was wasting my time with them dogs as to the size of the fields now he was right by god many a night 5 and 6 with them dogs but not the numbers i am used to now,so even one of the most experianced lurcher folk down here tells you small dogs and you still disagree,ive offered you endless times to have a lamp and you never take me up dont be ashamed mush its all fun,mark

what ever you want is up to you as you like what you like

I was just telling it how it is as far as size of the dogs around here. Small dog for small fields NO medium size dog that can control it speed YES.

are you keeping a pup mark if ya breed?

 

and if so , why did ya get rid of that dog ya sold?

 

26" to big for small fields. you dont half talk shit my friend. it all depends on the dog. let me tell ya i have a 26" dog that out turns that little racey kelpie cross . and i have see others on small padock fields in the dales take large bags of bunnys.

 

but of course you wont listen to others

 

she cought 36 of those on small padocks, the whippet cross in the pic cought 16. must of been a fluke
