Guest dances Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i personally think it makes no difference what the cross is aslong as it does the job. the 3 dos we got here are all mixmatches yet they all retrieved shot game of different sizes, one of them even caught a rabbit once.

T78 4 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i bought a dog off someone on here nye on 2 years ago now. id advertised for a fox taking dog with some bull in it as a preference. So we drove from Devon to Stafford to get the bitch which he told me was a bull/grey x whippet. As we were given her papers we rung the breeder, turns out she's Whippet // staff(not bull)/grey x Saluki/grey. luckily enough she turned out good after a few months of basic training and now has a good reputation has a here retrieval bitch where i live. what papers did you get given?!

brock1 2 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) i bought a dog off someone on here nye on 2 years ago now. id advertised for a fox taking dog with some bull in it as a preference. So we drove from Devon to Stafford to get the bitch which he told me was a bull/grey x whippet. As we were given her papers we rung the breeder, turns out she's Whippet // staff(not bull)/grey x Saluki/grey. luckily enough she turned out good after a few months of basic training and now has a good reputation has a here retrieval bitch where i live. what papers did you get given?! well i think you will find a lot of people whouldnt tell someone that they breed a litter of baned breed dogs just becouse you phoned & sead you have a pup out of it. you could be the police or rspca or something. i know a man that got jail for fighting them becouse of a set of papers with his name on. its enough to get your door kicked in by the police. so your dog might be genuine bull you will probably never know. its best to get a genuine firstx bull put to a grayhound & see both perants if you whant to be 100% sure. but there harder to get than pure bulls these days becouse everyone whants a giant bullx & the best way to get a big bullx is lurcher to lurcher breeding. breeding a firstx is as risky as breeding a pure apbt i for one whouldnt whant to becouse the rspca like to knock at my door & you whould have to show everyone interested in a pup its perants to prove its genuine. the best way to get any genuinex lurcher is to get a firstx & see both perants or know someone genuine that has a genunine firstx that they lined to a gryhound. but if you see both perant work & they both do what you whant the pups to do. then its worth geting a pup genuine breeding or not the proof is in the pudding not the ingrediants that made it.

sikastag_1 689 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 youll never know you just need to take the owners word for it, but when the dog is older you can normally see similarities to the breeds youve been told if you see similarities of a breed that the owner didnt tell you then i would question it.

Kieron - 472 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 maybe when you're there looking at the pup you're intrestid in you should be able to tell the breeding at the age thay should be sold. Quote Link to post
