Guest world.hunters Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) i was considering putting my storm over my greyhound bitch if she works well aswell. storm is a good strong dog with alot of stamina so i think the pups would have a lot of pertental.

Guest wex Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) A few years back i was out with a well known traveller from scotland. He was running a 7/8 1/8 deerhound, the dog was a belter. Some years later i got a pup from this dog for a mate. She was 1/16deerhound 15/16greyhound. She was very fast as you can imagine, but the bitch never really did much due to her owner.cheers wex Edited June 26, 2008 by wex Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I put a 3/4 Grey 1/4 Whippet over my 1/4 Collie 3/4 Grey many years ago. Lovely dog, but the stamina was definitely well reduced. Her dam could run hares all day, and catch a few, but the daughter was stuffed after a decent run: lightening fast though. Nowadays I wouldn't want a dog with that much speed in it. Always injuring herself. Quote Link to post
Netter 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think that when Hancock first started up he used to breed 7/8 greyhound 1/8 collies for Hare Coursing. Quote Link to post
colliejohn 840 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think that when Hancock first started up he used to breed 7/8 greyhound 1/8 collies for Hare Coursing. Not really my cuppa tea, to me they are nigh pure greyhound, and there want be enough collie blood in them, but good luck with your preposed venture. regards collie john. Quote Link to post
ianm 2,594 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I had such a dog in 1978 Miller he was called. Bred out of a 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 collie bitch sired by an open race dog. Hell of a good dog killed plenty of daytime hares and lots of game on the lamp. I put him over a good Greyhound bitch i had aswell and kept a couple of pups for myself, so they where 15/16 greyhound 1/16 collie and where also good Hare dogs. Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 saw greyhounds with good wind gota greyhound whippet with good wind but why breed to much sighthoundas the feet suffer the coat suffers and when people talk about wind i talk about running several hares or roe maybe ywenty rabbs and well on hard ground no god running if they have not the tyres for it better with good feet and pace but sensible pace as they last longer dont cost the vet bills and run season after season cheers Quote Link to post
