I’ve got a GWP bitch and leaning further and further towards putting a greyhound over her in the future. Not 100% sure when though

Interesting cross.

What have lads found to be the pros with the gwp in the mix say a first cross? Would they be fast enough for bigger game?

I've seen a couple gwp imports working over the years with the guns and they are serious animals when working cover and tracking.

Iv got 1/4 pointer with touch of collie the rest grey she’s a little over half x and she is very fast ! Iv always pure here and she’s put a turn in a fox more than once and wouldn’t say she’s a fast pointer , I’m really interested in a half x think would suit me down to the ground

Sounds like a good tractable dog to have around I like the sound of a 1/4 gwp 3/4 grey myself, could imagine that doing everything day and night but can't imagine there's many litters being bred this way.

I only use mine for day time hunting up so half x be perfect for me just finding one , either a pup or a dog to use on my bitch

Hope you find something mate

They sound perfect for hunting up on the fells. They should be hardy enough to stand the weather, and would hopefully search for scent until it finds some, and not get bored like some dogs can.

A lad I knew had one years ago he used out on shoots and out on the Marsh aswell as ferreting and working to longnets too. I'm not sure what she was like on vermin but was definitely a useful dog.

My mrs had two pure GWP she used on pigs, they would lug and were obviously great finders. They were very protective guard dogs as well. I'd imagine the first crosses would be useful on any game.

Got a bitch here, marks well, fearless too, I'd defy anyone to get in the car when the wife takes her out, f***ing savage, the dogs nasty too

What if there is a covert operation involving the British pike record at Chew Valley Ames near Bristol? Could there be a secret organization manipulating the fishing records for their own gain or hidden agenda?
