My current dogs won’t eat green tripe.. and when they do it goes through them… they love mince tripe from the pet shop, but full green tripe, no chance.

I prefer a pick up/crew cab.. when the dogs are stinking in the back it dosnt matter on the long drive home.. but I don’t slip dogs from the motor, it’s mainly all on foot .

So if that was a bit faster and more athletic (ie, bred to a longdog) it would make a very useful dog id imagine… they would maybe make a better cross when mixed with a fast coursing dog, rather than a greyhound if the pups have a tendency to be a bit cloddy. I think that bit of Saluki adds a bit more athleticness rather than just pure speed .. maybe

I think they would be a great cross of bred properly. The best coursing dogs are not first cross Saluki/greys. They are lone bred for 30/40 years to produce the better versions. so if the same was done with labs I think it would really work.. I do a bit of bush beating and I’ve not seen a Lurcher that hunts as hard a good lab.. (not the fat useless labs, but a Propper one) If a lab had more speed, they would catch some gear.. I’ve seen them smash through the thickest over cover, and still work 6 hours later, wet through and freezing cold. Now I love my Lurchers, and mine h

Very nice… is the the Saluki/cattle dog litter? they should be spot on.

Looking for rabbits on the fell

A gang of various sorts, after a days rabbiting

But I knew that when I bought her as a pup… the whippet mum was small, and the beddy sire was small.

Not really, most bigger dogs if they are bred right are fast enough.. obviously not as fast as a greyhound, but that’s too fast. I think her lack of top end speed is down to her little legs

About 16/17 inch

My first cross lacks a little bit of top end speed… still catches plenty, but could definitely catch more if was that bit faster.

The little one can retrieve a hare on the lamp, but as you can see, there about the same size

For hunting, the bigger one. She’s a real all rounder.. the little one is only 17/18 inch so probably not really a Lurcher, more of a really fast terrier. I like hunting all sorts so the bigger one is much more useful
