Breeding Greyhounds

[Jack NUFC 1]

first of all can i just say that i have no interest in breeding a greyhound

 

right now that is out of the way, this has pestered me for a while and i was just wondering, not having a dig at those breeding of these greys, but how much work do these greys see before being bred? and if so how long do you keep them going at work to make sure your getting the best out of her to improve the chances of her pups exceeding, for arguement sake putting a single handed bull x over a ex racer what work would you give the bitch to justify her as worthy to breed from, and would you class these bitches as worthy breeding dogs because they've had a few rabbits for you and show interest and potential on the lamp

 

look forward to some replies

the dog that was used to mate r.walkers buck to was never worked, after 12 was only telling me the other day. Yet produced the hardest dog he has ever seen even if he wasnt the best catch dog.

not all of the greyhounds hancock uses are crap track dogs, he sometimes used to get good quality cast off coursing greyhounds. he had a bitch called white pearl , she started off a track dog but ended up coursing in the old yorkshire coursing club and she won a 32 dog stake in linconshire "the benoir" . this qualified her for the waterloo cup. but she was not entered.she wasnt fast but had plenty of stamina could stay on . her ownner retired and gave her to david for breeding off. i have a first cross dog out of her, 3 years old takes daytime winter hares. i think david only bred a couple of litters because he had her put down, when i rang up to inquire for a pup for a mate.

the answer to your question is not enough of the greyhounds are tested people just persume that becouse your adding bull cross to the mix the pups are guarenteed, this is wrong. if your looking for a pup i believe you need bull on both sides to slightly greaten your chances off sucess.

White Pearl won the "Benroy" at North Lincs, she was declared winner through withdrawl of several other entries being injured, it did nt qualify her for the Waterloo Cup, she could of sought a return for the Cup but she wasnt considered anywhere near good enough, in fairness she had been tested good enough to breed lurchers out of which suits yourself but not for breeding back to a greyhound. OK back to topic I m under the impression that speed was the reason for using the greyhound?

2000 years of breeding has created a dog that can run beyound it's own natural abilitis and has been changed physically to the extent that when mixed with another breed it can lift the other to still hold some of these exceptional qualities. A greyhound that races to retirement will have speed and determination in spades and that is what you will use it to bring to the breeding. The resultant lurcher if your lucky will have bigger heart volume, more red blood cells (oxygen carrting capabilities) and exceptional biomechanics. What more can you ask for? Most pure breds will take whats in front of them if enterd right, I've seen a few ex racers, pre ban, that would take an alsation if you didn't mind them let alone a fox.
