Spaniels are my worst nightmare haha them fcukers make me dizzy jist watching them haha iv bred 2 litters in me time, one was a litter of Middleton lakies, birch come direct off him an was here for 12 years, went back an used his dog as stud, an there was only 4 pups, all went to family or guys I work dogs with, not a penny changes hands anywhere, tho the lads who took the pups where always handing in bags of meat an stuff for them, then bred same birch agajn to a collie haha it’s what we was using tk beat woods to lurchers, an he was amazing at it an so was the lakie so we bred them an kept all pups again, both times I swore never again, but secknd litter ruined me, ended up practically taking weeks off work to make sure they had the best of start, was happy with outcome both times tho.

It’s that much hard work I refuse to do it haha far easier ways of getting a pup in, an 9 times out of 10 if you look about you will find pups bred off dogs better than your own, it’s just being honest with yourself I think, if I genuinely thought I couldn’t buy or beg a better mutt than what I like breed then I’d breed, but how often have we for the best about in our kennels? Iv had some decent dogs but always knows dogs a bit better haha

Very true.But there also a lot of people out there with decent dogs who don't wanna spend a few quid or have the basic knowledge on how to rear a litter of pups properly.Christ I've seen some ropey looking,Shy litters in my time

Iv walked away from a few over the years, sayin that tho iv also walked away from a couple a lovely healthy litters cos I just didn’t fancy them, to a certain degree I would sway the type or cross I was after, but I’d never sway on the litter. So if I was after a nice whippet pup an couldn’t find one that suited but saw a whippet x litter that j fancied I wouldn’t think twice about changing the cross or type, but again most mutts can do what I do to a degree. Madness when you see a healthy pup on here an folks saying how good it looks, when all pups should be a picture of health haha

Exactly that mate.Also see it with adult dogs on here,multiple "wow amazing condition when in fact it just looks like any dog should if it gets decent grub and half decent walk everyday.Ive upset a couple of people over the years walking away from litters.Also had people tell me how fantastic my pups always look when in reality,like you say all pups should look like that.

Yes,. .Anastasia produced a better class of Deerhound for the original job, and some, were even passable at organised hare coursing,.. (although it was never their proper vocation)..

Back in the day,.. we used one of her line , straight over an Irish coursing Greyhound Dam,...the resulting progeny were Page Three stunners, absolutely beautiful,.. and more than adequate, for the Roe an Fallow Does.

However,.as a mere rabbiter,  I required a slightly smaller, more compact jukel...

I wanted to retain the fabled 'easy to live with ' temperament of the noble Deerhound, whilst bringing down the size.. It was a successful breeding project and in many ways, I wish that I had continued with it, alas, the call of the Sheepdog was just too strong,. and I went back to what I knew. 

Whatever,.. we had some fabulous years with the Deerhound hybrids....

How did you discourage your dog from being intersted in deer mc?  All sight hounds/ lurchers go apeshit   when they see that bouncing white arse of a deer. I'm amazed you could break a dogs instinct  to want to course deer.

The worst aspect of breeding pups is the amount of time wasters, hagglers, tyre kickers and beggars they attract. I've bred a few litters of springers and as you say they all,go by 8 weeks.

I would never breed lurchers, they attract the wrong type of people. Imagine mchull on the phone. f**k me, a fate worse than death.

[chartpolski 25,276]

Breaking his dogs to deer ? 
What a load of guff !

This is so when his competition comes off and Tomo’s little whippet type is mullering the deer, mC can say “ but I told you my dogs are broken to deer “ ! LOL !

He’s not as daft is he looks, is my young protege!

Cheers.
