    Happens every year. They have a massive budget in Lincolnshire

    Very well but unfortunately didn’t reach old age. Caught hares regularly though.

    Dropped rabbits is pointless in my opinion.. Lurchers are born with prey drive. You train them to fetch and recall etc, not to chase a rabbit

    Brindle dog is collie/grey… light bitch is beddy/grey and the other is the pup out of the two of them.

    These are beddy/grey x collie/grey.

    How’s the Lurcher bred? Any better pics of it, just interested

    Couldn’t you use Artificial inseminatiom with the dog you wanted? I know people who’ve done this and you get the stud dog you want.

    Who was the bone man? As there some right con merchants out there. I’d take it too a vet and get a Propper diagnosis. What was the pup’s original symptoms to make you take her to a bone man ?

    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.
  17. Moonlighter123
    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
  18. Moonlighter123
    About 16/17 inch
  19. Moonlighter123
    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
  23. Moonlighter123
    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
