Do you really need to breed "just one litter"? Does anybody?   A check round the net today gives:   59 lurchers for sale on Epupz 115 lurchers for sale on FreeAds 276 lurchers for sale on Prelov

No, course not. Don't you worry about it.   They were all brought down from the skies in showers of rainbows by the lurcher fairy.

Some of us didn't give you advice at all; we gave you information and left you to work it out for yourself.   For some reason everybody - and this is not a dig at you - seems to think that their own

The usual advice in terms of the health of the bitch and pups is to breed her after she's two but no later than five (for her first litter). As people have said, if you're breeding her as a worker, you need to see how good she is in the field before deciding if she's worth breeding from and also what to put over her. If you're breeding her as a pet, then as others have said, there's an abundance of ok lurchers about, (plus some really excellent ones as it goes) in rescue already. Bear in mind that lurchers tend to have large litters so you're going to have to either find a lot of homes, or cull unwanted pups. I'm not against breeding, I bred my terrier bitch, but you have to really think it through and make sure you can take responsibility for the puppies you produce as a result.

A check round the net today gives:

 

59 lurchers for sale on Epupz

115 lurchers for sale on FreeAds

276 lurchers for sale on Preloved

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus Sun local

105 lurchers for sale on Pets4Homes

26 lurchers for sale on Adtrader

294 lurchers for sale on Oodle (Scotland only)

 

875 dogs, roughly. Ok not the most scientific way of doing it but however you look at it, that's a LOT of dogs. Enough, already.

 

Then there's all those for sale on specialist sites like this; the "known name" line breeders; ads in newspapers; sold or given away amongst mates and sold to "blokes in pubs".

 

Then there's all those dumped, straying, and in pounds, shelters and rescue.

People need to read what the girl said before you all jump on the puppy band wagon.Sad really that someone asked for advice and had too take so much shit. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I dont think its just shit to be fair. Maybe it was just a question but theres to many folk just dying for there bitch to reach an age so they can breed and get pups, never mind if the dog is useless and the pounds are full of pups anyway.... :icon_eek: Maybe a short sharp tongue lashing on THL might make folk think twice that pumping out pups is no the best way too go..... :thumbs:

thanks iceman, I am so glad someone is able to read what i said and understand it as a simple question, to all others don't put me in the same catergory as people that are breeding for the sake off it, i am def not desparate for my bitch to reach breeding age so i can farm out loads of puppies, i have never breed before and think my bitch has potential to breed some cracking pups if i can find the right stud dog for her, i will think twice before asking any questions on this site again, its a shame as some of you are very genuine and give great advice and i love reading your advice to others, shame , shame :(

So you really are wanting too have pups then....? And how do you know your bitch has the potential to have 'cracking' pups at her age? This is not a dig its a genuine question but it sounds like you've disreguarded any negative comments you've had to having pups but took on board any positive comments...... :icon_eek:

It is my personal opinion and i am going on her conformation and excellent trainablility, as i say it is my own opinion, i an possibly breeding from her to have a pup for my self and of course i would ensure homes for the rest of the litter first, as i say i may decide not to have any pups yet will see what the future brings :tongue2:

She only asked when would be the best time to breed her bitch and instead off some advice she has to take that shit.

She has a young dog there and by the sounds off it it will get worked and well looked after and further down the line she will take pups out off her and keep one back for herself nothing wrong with that.

Only bit off advice l can give is if your going to breed your bitch down the line make sure you have homes before the litter comes because it can turn into night mare. :thumbs: And take most things on here with a pinch salt.

Hate to see l any young people come on here and get advice they be out off the game before they have even started :wallbash:
