He was  good 1x, good lamping dog, that was his main job really. That gsd added  bit more grit to  the x, than   a collie. But being honest it be waste of time really, as nobody would use the dog anyway, people prefer the  conventional  type lurcher that about today,  they don't think out the box, that's what I think.but we all different as they say.

she turns 7 months on Tuesday and I keep thinking early days, but I am really happy with her progress. she's hunting up well and really surprised me how she enters cover, doesn't let nettles bother her, etc, she's very independent but also follows beddywhippet as well. so yes so far I am

It’s only when there gone an you gotta find what you want/need you realise exactly how good a dog it was when your comparing what’s available that you have made a error in not having a few straws tucked away on the back burner .
I’m at that point now I wish I’d of asked to take some straws off the f1 beddy greyhound I bred out of he wasn’t a open stud dog so there’s no variant of his seed about as it sure would be handy to put back in to the dogs granddaughter that I run now when the time comes for a replacement to be bred

Well done Fred's Blue pup

For me, as a one time, pro rabbit hunter..... a steady, reliable 100% marking dog, really was essential.... 

Personally, I rate this attribute very highly, in a daytime rabbiting/ferreting/ mouching lurcher....

On some places, there might well be only one solitary Coney,... and if you want to earn them gold doubloons, you had best kill the furry fecker..

Keep at it Fred...
