Vizsla

[Taz-n-Lily 62]

hi, i have a vizsla. i was thinking of crossing her with my friends saluki greyhound, me and my friends go ferreting and lamping etc.. but recentley i have been taking her out coursing and i realised that when we have slipped a lurcher and her at the same time, she is getting them. she is only a small bitch but is very fast and keeps up with the dog that me and my friends take out. i was just wondering what the pups would look like if i did decide to breed her with the saluki greyhound? and to the people saying it would add nothing it would add inteligence and a hunting instinct and i think they could make good ferreting pups

I'm not sure about putting a big dog over a small bitch.

 

I had a Visla/Red Setter X - daft as a brush but good at catching mice and shrews.

 

Overall, I can't see that Visla would add anything to the already established lurcher mixes.

Mind you, I'm a novice.

Better nose and brain than say a whippet, deerhound, and god knows how many other breeds incorporated into lurchers over the years, all gundog breeds in my opinion have something to offer, also vislas/pointers/weimaraners already have a racy shape.

Im sorry but good lurcher lines dont need gun dog breeds jmo

 

 

Some of the dogs that pass as lurchers today would benefit from an infusion of decent gundog blood.

 

Im not quite sure what your saying here feller but i personally wouldn't want any gun dog blood in my dogs. They dont have anything that cant be gained from other breeds. And what do you mean by "dogs that pass as lurchers today" ?

 

Gundogs don't have anything that can't be gained from other breeds?. Nose, coat, natural retrievers, hunting ability, water work can all come in one infusion from a gundog, can't think of another breed or type that offer all of the above in one go.

Dogs that pass as lurchers today, well I'm thinking the big skinny type that don't put their nose to the ground, don't retrieve and stand over their catch, dogs that are basically used as point and fire types, the kind that belong to people who use a gundog to do the hunting and flushing for them rather than being capable of doing itself.

for a dog working nets hunting up ferrets and the like the collie x and the gundog x's would be hard to beat a keeper friend said his mate added a a dash of greyhound into his field trial labs to improve body type and health

There's already GWP and ess crosses out there doing the buisness, so what's to say a vizla cross couldn't be handy for someone?

If your visla can keep up with that particular saluki/grey, i would look for a better one to breed with if you ever decide to. lol

I would prefer a gsp x collie to use over lurcher... Few lads in my area keep them and they are handy animals
