i heard that as well i think SJM wrote something about it on here Yeah, I had a border first cross dog from him- it was a problem with bone structure, although the symptoms were very similar to hip displaysia. When I spoke to him, Hancock admitted that there had been some similar problems with other puppies. Goes to show it isn' t quite as simple as Greyhounds being a genetically perfect base for his breeding scheme. Maybe so, but the vet i use who as had 40years of experience with all breeds. He told me the Greyhound is the most gentically sound breed you will

Well ive had two bullxs, = 3/8bull 5/8grey , 1/4bull 3/4grey. Both were good dogs They caught small game and big game . The two never made old bones They got smashed up , and were finished at 4 years old . I had a colliex grey , he got smashed up at 17months old, ive spoke these dogs on the other site. Ive had lurchers 25+years, and bullxs are good dogs, but i do think you can get other xs just as good. Ive gone back to colliex greys now, a mate of mine had a 1xcollie grey, [farm bred] 24ins 48lb. This dog would tackle any thing :whistling it was as hard as nails . The

As I said I don't have the answer to you're prob matey..............But no offence 'whip' dogs don't "Learn" to retrieve watching others do it......If this was the case all those folk with shit# retievers would soon have brilliant one's..........Whichever way 'forward' is with this problem........It's certainly ALONE.........not 'watching' others. All the best with finding a solution! Spot on, try him when he is 12months old. When he catches a rabbit and he feck,s off with it walk the other way. Forget the rabbit, when he as caught a few he will bring them back. My best ret

Mine is a 1x collie grey dog pup, he is 6 1/2 months old and 23ins 47lb. I think he might make 25ins and about 53lb. He should be quite a strong dog BIRD

IVE had lurchers 25+years , and they have all done it as pups . Most grow out of it, just keep up with the worm tabs. BIRD

Spot on, most lurchers take a 2 or 3 seasons to become good, and they dont catch them all BIRD

Sunday morning, me wild boar, andy and the next generation 6yr old henry had a mornings ferreting. Unfortunately we only got a small bag, the rabbits we got were pregnant doe's and each rabbit we had to dig for. Most of the morning was spent trying to get the ferrets out as they were chasing the younguns in the berry :grrr: shame really we couldnt get any bolting rabbits for the dog, or for young henry to see. He was quite fascinated when he came to me gutting the rabbits i think he might want to be a butcher when he grows up :laughbounce2:

Nice pups, make good lurchers, you should get small and large stuff with them BIRD

My advice would be to go for something with a fair turn of speed and not too big.... 'BUT' stick to one dog, put as much time and effort into it as possible and i'm sure you will be well rewarded. Trying to 'bring on' two dogs can be very difficult training wise and (just sometimes) one or both can fall out of favour with you whilst starting them. One is more than enough for someone just starting. Good luck. Very true, stick with one. A whippetxgrey x colliexgrey, try get one from parents 23 to 24ins. A dog 24ins will be just right for rabbits, and big enough for anything else
