    I know what you are talking about, Bird, mine bounce up and down in the oil seed then suddenly take off and it sometimes results in a catch, but good fun nontheless !! The Spanish have got a bad rep with cruelty to animals, and there's bad reports about how they treat Galgos that don't make the grade, perhaps they treat Ibizans the same way... I hope not ! Cheers.

    Went to Westerhope Whippet Club this morning, as usual, and was pleasanly supprised to see a lady and gentleman with a fine pair of Ibizan Hounds there ! They were both dogs, and one was about 28" tall, the other was a 10 month pup, but fine looking dogs. I was supprised at how tall they were, I thought they would be quite a bit smaller. Haven't got a clue what they would work like, but the owners said they will be running them on rabbits. I didn't have a camera, but I'll make sure I get some pics next time. I think it's great that people are bringing in these "exotic" breeds ! Cheers.

    theres no such thing as luck luck is like god it dont exist pal Everone has their own opinion on things like luck and god; but if you are the best dog man in the world and buy the best bred pup in the world, and it turns out shite..... then I would put that down to bad luck, karma, whatever you want to call it, but then again; who knows ? Cheers. But if you're honest, if most of those who see, or regard themselves as 'top dogmen' bought a well bred pup and it turned out shite - they'd blame allsorts rather than take it on the chin that it might have something to do with the

    A good dog man can't make a bad dog great ! And a bad dog man will deffinately make a good dog bad !! It's a mix between breeding, upbringing, and, most importantly, LUCK !! But it DOES help to have a well bred pup, not neccesarily from workers, but preferably. Cheers.

    This one is not direct from Trevor, but is by his Deerhound, Doxhope Knights Errant, out of a Greyhound bitch, Rivington Ena; Cheers.

    Rapidly approaching my 60th year; got my first dog, a non-ped Whippet when I was 13. Had Whippets, Saluki, Greyhound, Lurchers of all sizes, shapes and crosses ! Only had a couple of non running breeds; a Fell terrier, a Doberman, and a Lab. Have got 6 year old and 2 year old Lurchers just now. No intention of giving up dogs anytime soon ! Cheers.

    Who hates them ?? There are Lurcher lads who won't own them, for the simple reason they aren't the type of dog for the quarry they run, but a bull x is the best at what it does !! It was only a week ago you didn't know what a Lurcher was, but now you know who hates what !! Slow down a bit mate ! Cheers.

    For a "newbie", you seem determined to create controversy
  16. chartpolski
    Yeah; I would agree with that ! If you were using a terrier or collie bred bitch... use a bit more Greyhound in the sire; if you were using a Whippet or Saluki or Deerhound bred bitch.. maybe not so much Greyhound blood ! Everyone has there own idea's on breeding. Cheers.

    I still believe that speed is the main attribute in Lurcher breeding; if the dog can't get up to it's quarry, then everything else; strike, turning, etc, is immaterial !! The whole reason we use Greyhound in Lurcher breeding is for one thing only... SPEED !! Of course you can have to much Greyhound in a line; after all, just about any Greyhound will have the speed to do the job, but that speed needs to be aligned with the attributes of the other breeds to make a succesful Lurcher. My oppinion is once you get over 3/4 Greyhound in the line, that's a bit to much. I personaly like around 50% Grey

    This question comes up on here regularly, and the simple amswer is; there is no such thing as the "best all round cross". There's to many variables, and in a certain cross there may be good un's and bad un's Cheers.

    Coursing Greyhounds wouldn't be my 1st choice to CATCH hares ! They were bred to run against each other for points, NOT to kill the hare. A good bred Lurcher will KILL more hares than a Greyhound will. Cheers.

    Why ask about it ? Once you get more than two breeds in a cross; you could get anything !! The pups, in the same litter, could throw to the Bull, Collie or greyhound ! You could get a racy, smooth coated pup, or a heavy rough coated pup; or anything between ! Some Lurchers throw to "type" others don't ! You pays your money... and takes yore chance ! Unless you know the EXACT breeding ! Cheers.

    A wind up, surely ? Why keep a proud beast like that locked in a pen ? No wonder it's going crazy ! Please tell us this is just a joke ! Cheers.

    If you are talking about LDR's Bruce..... Yes he can take rabbits, and everything else ! He is about 27" and he brought on my 23" bitch. Heres a pic of him with my 29" Deer/Grey bitch pup, who is taking rabbits day and night, even though rabbits isn't what she was brought in for ! Cheers.

    There are hares, anywhere in the country, that have to be kicked out of their seat, and there are hares that will lift 200 yards away; it's up to the slipper when to slip; if he is a sportsman or a pot hunter ! Cheers.
