    Davey, for a F1 Deer/Grey, he's still young. I've only just started Lima on the lamp, and she hasn't done much daytime; I can see she's as green as grass, sounds like your dog is the same. Give him time mate, he'll come right ! Cheers.

    Why would it be "awful" ? You breed a litter, some make the grade, some don't. There's never been a litter where they are all the best ! Cheers.

    At a recent show, a woman entered her 9 month old blue merle collie cross into the "Working Lurcher" class !!! The judge asked what it had done; the owner said it had chased a rabbit !!! Of about 20 odd Lurchers, I doubt if more than two had done any graft !! And this was a qualifier for such shows as EDRD, Cock o' The North, etc !! Judges have a very hard job to do !!!! Cheers.

    If you want to feed your dog the best; why not feed BARF, instead of this manufactured rubbish ? Cheers.

    "What makes the best allrounder ?? " I think that is an unanswerable question ! Don't forget, a "Lurcher" can be anything from a Beddy x to a Wolfhound x! And what is meant by "allrounder" ? A running dog that can take all game it's slipped on... or a dog that can drive game into a longnet at night and take hare during the day ? There isn't a dog, nor has there ever been, that can do everything. The only hope is breed the best to the best, give it the best feeding, kenneling, training and entering, and hope for the best ! Cheers.

    I'm a great supporter of Whippets, both ped and non-ped; but come on ! No way can a 24" 55lb dog be classed as a "Whippet" !!! Smaller Greyhounds have won the Waterloo Cup !! At least I can have this oppinion on here, unlike K9 where I was banned for voicing the same oppinion ! The BWRA sold it's soul when it upped the limit from 32lb to 55lb, just to accomodate the breeders who wanted to use Greyhound X's more and more ! Don't get me wrong; when I go to a straight open, it's to see the scratch dogs, but when I go to a bend open, it's to see the little 'uns run; I can see 55lb'ers run any time

    No, no , no, mate !! I said a dog that will take rabbits daytime, will have no problem taking them on the lamp !!! If you think I am wrong... OK.. you just carry on !! I'm not into an argument; youre pal Lamp & Battery is a top dog man, I know that, but don't be a young arsehole quoting guys who have done it !! Cheers.

    Some of the best hare killers I've seen, (not hare coursers), were Whippet X Greyhounds. They couldn't run all day, like a Saluki X, but, boy could they take a hare !! Cheers.

    Spot one whippets the best rabbit dogs by far. I've had some decent working Whippets, and have worked my Lurchers alongside, what I consider, the best working KC Whippet I have ever seen.... but to say Whippets are the best rabbit dogs BY FAR, is nonsense. Cheers.

    Hmmm,Kye, interesting. I once saw a Border Collie catch a hare; was it a "Lurcher" ? NO, it was a Collie. I once owned a 1/4 Collie 3/4 Greyhound, that couldn't catch a hare in a 'phone box ! Was it a "Collie" ? No, it was a Lurcher, (albeit a useless one ! LOL !). Anyhow, it's all down to opinions, and a good discussion. Cheers.

    It's only my oppinion, but I think a dog must be at least 50% sight hound to be called a "Lurcher". Bird; I know what you mean about "Lurchers" & "Longdogs", I have one of each, but they are usualy just refered to as "Lurchers" these days. Cheers.

    Just as there is no "perfect cross" or "best all rounder"; there is no "perfect height" for a Lurcher. It's all trial and error. Get a pup from the best breeding, give it the best kenneling, feeding and training, and hope for the best !! Cheers.

    What's the Newbiggin Open, mate ? Cheers.

    Road walking CAN tighten feet up a bit, but no amount of road walking will give a dog born with bad feet, good feet ! Dogs are born with good, bad or average feet; they can be improved slightly by walking, but you can't turn a flat foot into a good, tight, "cat" type foot. Cheers.

    So you don't believe in "Rares" and "Hoes", Simo ?? Next , you'll be saying you don't believe in "Jackalopes" !! Cheers. I'm yet to be convinced but I'm sure many of the folk on here will be up there this weekend for a look out Didn't think about that !! The areas going to be flooded with banjo playing kids looking for rabbits with antlers !!! Cheers.

    BUT !!! Up here in Northumberland we do have that amazing creature that is a cross between a Roe and a Hare !! Usualy called a "Rare" and sometimes a "Hoe", it's very difficult to catch, as it allso goes to ground !! Maybe a bit Rabbit in there aswell ??? Cheers.

    Presuming this a genuine, if misguided question.... No mate, it's genetically impossible for a hare and a rabbit to mate, let alone produce offspring. Cheers.
