terrier crosses

[kent scotty 0]

just wondering why other terriers are'nt used in lurcher mixes? is it that the beddies are so good or is it that they are quiet? i see that wheatons are used but not many of the others.

is it a size thing?do the smaller terriers come up to small?or is it just fashion?

 

im thinking of patterdales etc? i would think they have a bit more fire than some or is this not true in the crosses or is it to much fire?

 

cheers scott

i've seen a young patt x whippet at a show, a nice looking little thing, quite timid though, very nervy.

my mate had a first cross fell x whippet and i can honestly say its 1 of the best alrounder i have ever seen working. he died last year while out doing what he loved. but not all's lost my mate putting his first cross beddy x grey (heartbreak fell) dog over the fell x whippets litter sister to get the blood back before its lost. id say that other terriers can be used people just stick to what they know and what works for them

i was thinking if someone had a breeding plan you could put a patxwhippet then to a greyhound or bigger lurcher you would soon end up with some thing thats 1/4 patterdale i think you would need more than the yellow pages to mate a pat and a greyhound

so i think thats how you could do it but its been done with a bull terrier bullgreyhound

i think it would help i seen russel x whippet before that made a good dog

The Irish Terrier cross was popular years back.

I also heard of a local lurcher, a Kerry Blue Terrier cross Greyhound, that was meant to be excellent.

I had afell cross greyhound some years back it looked a bit odd he was totally uncontrolable no matter how much training I put into him obviously took the headstong terrier side but a very srong dog ; very fond of mutton.

I've got a fellxwhippet, useful ferreting dog as long as you dont intent to sell the rabbits. Dont think the small terriers have the right type of intelligence to put in a bigger body.

my little terrier thing is fast turning into a cracking wee dog, excellent nose, very bright, very fast, and very obediant. i never thought it'd bother me that she's been spayed, but i'm starting to think that her with longer legs would be a bloody handy little dog. problem is i obviously can't breed from her, and i have no sodding idea what cross she is
