50% of the make up is bull/Wheaton so you'd expect a bit of power,  unusual there's no greyhound in the mix. Be interesting to see how it comes along.

@sandymere thanks for your response. 
 

I hope someone has had experience with this mixture as I want to bring her on the best possible way that works well with her breeding. 
 

I’ve already heard comments that she has too much bone in the leg and too broad for rabbits ect 

I had a 3/4 bull grey more like a pure bull would lamp rabbits bring them back to hand

If terriers are your thing,then a dog bred that way could save you time checking places,help catch any bolters,give you some sport lamping ,when the terriers are knocked up and keep you in meat

I’ve been given a 13 week old lurcher pup by a friend who is too unwell to keep her.

Father is Wheaton, Bull X Deerhound and mother is Saluki X Bull. I’ve seen photos of the parents and seen them work however I’m a terrier man at heart who’s always toyed with the idea of owning my own lurcher. When this opportunity arose I thought sod it and took her on, ordered a heap of books which haven’t yet arrived. 

my questions are quite silly but could someone with a good amount of knowledge just explain to me what I’d be expecting with that sort of breeding, the work she’d best suit and what’s the best way to bring her on. She’s a bony thing and very tall for her age, I’ve tried to do some research but it’s been quite inconsistent. 

she’s currently spending her days playing in the grass yard, lots of socialising with the ither dogs and getting familiar with her name - but I’m one who wants to do everything properly hence why I’ve tried this page to get some answers.

sorry for the long winded message but I hope someone can reach out and give some pointers. 
 

cheers 

Smooth or hairy, just wondering

@Daniel cain Thank you Daniel, that is my exact intentions of this bitch. But I didn’t know whether I was able to be as ‘open’ as that on this but that great!

 

She’s a nice bitch, that’s bold as brass with the terriers on the grass yard but what’s my best way of progressing her?

@Bakerboy smooth coat with a faint ‘wispy’ broke coat coming through.

I just get mine out and about as soon as possible, travelling about so they get used to the motor,broken to stock etc,take them out with a dog thats reliable at marking your chosen quarry ,when i think they are ready ,let them have a rag and break up something thats been dug and despatched in accordance with  the law...try and keep it winning,same way you would bringing on a terrier..you will know wether its cut out for the job
