Yeah mate I can help you with breeding info. As for what the pups turn out like physically, well thats complicated genetics. They could look like any one of their relatives, more likely to be a mixture. Worker wise, if the parents are good workers, and the pups are trained right, they have a very high chance of being be fine workers like their parents. Even if the parents werent workers, a lot of pups, if trained right can be very decent workers, as lurcher work is based on prey drive which most dogs have anyway.

Firstly how old are they?

The bitch must be at least 3 before breeding. If younger, you run the risk of her being too immature to look after pups and rejecting them, a reduced litter size, reduced health of the litter, and too much strain on the bitch.
The dog should be 2 years old, too make sure he's mature enough to physically mate, and for his sperm to be the best quality.
It makes sense to wait until the parents are done growing before expecting to produce good pups.

Food is a very important consideration. I've heard of people switching to an all raw diet for the parents and pups and having 100% healthy pups, all alive and much much healthier than the litters they bred with dogs on commercial food.
The best thing is to condition the dogs for about a month before mating them with lots of raw meat, peas, carrots, bones, etc. The best you can give, and continue throughout the bitches pregnancy and until the pups are sold. You may also want to keep the very good food on with the bitch until her body has recovered from the pregnancy.


I wont go on here about everything,

Visit the following site, it has absolutly brilliant info on breeding including hand rearing, diet, AI, vaccinations, hazards and basically everything you need to know, I'll give you the breeding link - http://leerburg.com/breedingdogs.htm



Make sure you have homes lined up before breeding! If you havn't, I'm sure some people on here would be interested in good pups!


Good luck!
