eric 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 can i ask a serious question? how many different breeds would you have in your ideal lurcher, and over how many generations? thanks Depends what is selling best i tell them what they want to hear if i get it wrong i say i have another litter and guess again i once sold a bullx as a collie grey cos it killed my wife Quote Link to post
fireman 10,934 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Ooty's on a over the border raid for some Welsh fish with his lad for the weekend,but i have the acd that has been put to the grey staying at mine and i recon she's getting fatter.Had this one staying for a bit as well and have to say there great little dogs,amazed at the jaw strenght in them and their certainly not stupid.Can see the potental in adding the blood to a running dog,good feet,good bone,really can't find a fault in them.He'll be back soon but i'd pm him mate,i may forget to tell him.

miss lurcher bitch 319 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 well all the best mate nice dogs mlb Quote Link to post
fireman 10,934 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 What i do know is their both pure breds and about 18 months 2 years old mate,weren't kept in the best of conditions and ooty bought them more because he felt for them than because he wanted them.They have filled out well and have really come out themselves,they lived on chains so have had no training what so ever but are coming round,i have doves,game birds and a ferret court in my garden and have only had to tell them no (in a stern voice mind)when they took a interest.A real shame as you can see if had from a pup they would be such a obediant dog(but like i said their coming round),they have a indestuctable look about them and the strenght in their heads and jaws needs to be seen.They have a good waterproof coat one that has a good thickness about it but not wooly(if you get my drift),great tight feet with good straight legs,very strong shoulders and chest.They have prick ears so some of the offspringmay end up like this(some don't like it)and there so willing to please.Don't know about what lines their from or who bred them ooty might,hope i've helped a bit anything i've missed ask mate and i'll try to help.

wild rover 548 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 i had a first cross cattle dog grey a few years back when i lived down northampton working as a keeper the keeper a chatsworth gave him to me he was a good dog took every thing i put him on even hares but never ever ever got a fox with him running just to big for that but it boggled me that he got hares and could never get old red as a drawing dog he was great in and out and over the breeder still breeds these dogs i have been told he lives in cumbrea i rate this cross 100% the determination is 110% the brains 110% and that dog never jibed at any thing my persanl option on on a strait cross would be yes and i think a first cross c.d to a first cross b.g. would be a very intresting cross but thats my option sadly i could not keep him due to moveing back home and not haveingthe room then but ooty i would be intrested in that first cross you have done if you could let me know a price and if she did not take then i would wait till next time The breeder in cumbria no longer breeds the line, io have had cattle dogs for 15 years, i have a 9 yearold dog from original line, been great, currently have a 9 month bitch, ACD/GREY/WHIPPET, only small, like a dingo, just started ferreting, keen as mustard, catching, marking, retreving, been once and chuffed to bits.

fireman 10,934 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 The bitch in the pic is about 21"ish the one i'm looking after is slightly taller 22,23",went for a walk down a beach with all the dogs today and she is very protective,she has to be between you and strange dogs.Both dogs have been out for a few mooches with the other dogs and arn't to shy of getting in cover with the terriers,they certainly don't seem to have a reverse gear but are controlable.Totaly echo what Dogmandango says about them and they really could be anything you wanted them to be,the sort of dog you could have round a farm that wiould kill vermin,round up livestock,go ferreting with you,clever enough to work a long net and i bet you could get them to gun work,forgot to add you would also have a dam good guard about.They are weary of strangers not collie sneek round and bite you type,stand and bark keeping it's distance but would sure enough get stuck in if needed,going on a bit i know but they really are sh*t hot little dogs and after having seen what their like am amazed there's not more of them used in lurcher breeding.

Guest ooty Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) can i ask a serious question? how many different breeds would you have in your ideal lurcher, and over how many generations? thanks cheers smashy,good news,told ya them ol greys hold em up somtimes, should be some handy pups in thst lot mate,thas the kids crimbo prezzys sorted,id of been more than happy with a lucher of that breeding for christmas when i was a kid,still would if you have a few??.as for how meny breeds in a lurcher,imo id mostly go for 2,max 3,so meny things depend on what you want from a lurcher and the work you want them to do,if i new those things it would be a question easyer to answer Edited September 29, 2008 by ooty Quote Link to post
