Hello and ideal Lurcher

[TelephonePete 111]

Hi just joined and I know this will have been asked many times but what is the ideal breeding for a general purpose Lurcher.

You will get every answer under the sun Tom from beddy whippet to bull xs I don't think there is one ideal breeding as such just to many things to take in to consideration

Well i kind of expected that so a bit more info. I have always liked the lurcher but a lifetime of owning dogs and its eluded me. If i had a lurcher i would want it as a companion which would enhance a mooch around in the fields and hedgerows. Spring the odd rabbit and  just be a pal as is my bitch Collie asleep at my feet but really a coiled spring as its time to go out.  Size medium ish. I would work it but not as a fanatical Lurcher Man.    Is that a bit helpful.

If you only have space to kennel the one dog a well bred fast type bull x will do most things

Lurcher to Lurcher, if the parents are doing what you want, you will have a good chance with the pups doing what you require.

I like a bedlington lurcher as they suit the ground I work now .

They lots of xs that are lurchers  and to be honest I couldn't say what type the best for someone else as its all about the land and quarry you work .

 beddy greyhound bred Lurcher to Lurcher worker to worker breds I find them a very handy ready for anything type of Lurchers for me there like the Swiss Army knife….many a uses without all the political shit that comes with running dogs they can just be used…the problem is the same as any other Lurchers it’s finding them bred right an not bred from turds

deff mate, well bred pit x grey x coursing  type lurcher , will catch you most stuff you run, deff in the lamp, if just after few rabbits, few birds  day/night  a well bred collie x grey or collie x lurcher  are spot on more so as well with ferreting  job. i ve had both xs , so i know what they can do, but a well bred lurcher x lurcher type  from proven parents  that do al quarry is where to get your pup .
