Well these are all diffrent lines of Gwp and too a mixed bred lurchers as said a pointer hunts slow the plod along a Lurcher hunts faster when crossed if it follows the pointers heart it will give up atb
I can't say that I follow this to be fair, my GWP's hunt faster than my lurcher until the lurcher is running it's quarry. Then obviously the lurcher is faster!

I lost one 2 year ago so bred a litter off diffrent lines and the pup I give to a mate died in jan this year on the mountain same thing blood from nose and mouth
It's strange I know a few lads running them and all have been fine. No problems at all.

They are both HPR no different they point that’s what it says on the tin I’ve got Gwp Lurcher mix but I know somebody who as a few GSP and I’d never rule them out as vermin dogs definitely not atb
There are lots of breeds of HPR's and they are all very different, they were all derived from different breeds/types. How is your current GWP cross? Has it had any funny turns regarding it's heart?

Thank you mate.
Is that correct though?
I personally only know one fella that owned a pair of gsp's, brother and sister, and he also told me that they were a different breed type from the gwp?
Yes they come from totally different backgrounds.

From what I've read about both, they are different breeds, not just coats.
Surely, that would explain the differences more than just coat type?!
Yeah some people think the only difference is coat, but as you say they're a totally different breed.

It’s like this a Gwp like a welsh hound a Gsp like a fell hound the GSP is faster and as more agility and on the killing side I’ve seen a GSP dispatch a cat in seconds atb
My GSP wasn't anywhere near as fast at covering the ground as one of my Wire's. Also in my opinion the GWP'S are more of an alrounder and seem to take to many tasks. I don't hear of many people using the GSP's for anything other than a gun dog.

They not as sharp as Short haired and the few I know are a heavier.
Not sure what you mean by sharp but I've had both and the wires are a lot harder going and better alround vermin dogs. The Danish lines are heavier than the German bloodlines. I like that as they are more robust and have more stamina.

Yes lads they overheat and die on the spot mine never made it back to me if it wasn’t for the collar I’d never have found him usually blood from mouth and nose atb
I've known lurchers of various types collie crosses, deerhound and bull crosses blow up and die. It could happen to and type, it doesn't mean that type is prone to it. I believe you have a few gwp crosses have they done it too?

Surely not all GWP x grey have heart problems?
Absolute rubbish I've known a lot of GWP's and crosses and not heard of any having these problems. If you have seen the drive and stamina these dogs possess you'd know that with heart problems they wouldn't last very long.

Yes as George found out with his female, lol.
If your mate breeds them let me know so long as they're 100% parent reared!

My mate Carl's got and imprint harris hawk and an imprint male goldie so hopefully I'm going try beg one off him if he does them , wouldn't buy 1 off anyone else because like you say the breeders are all about the money so you could end up with some think a little imprinted and a male goldie harris with aggressive traits don't sound too much like fun lol

Is noisy mate. Reason I asked years ago the imprinted Harris hawk's I used to see all tended to be noisey. I remember a trip up to Scotland from South Yorkshire and a lad had one in the same vehicle in its box and it hardly stopped the whole of the journey that did make the journey seem like torture.
It's not just the noise its the aggression etc a lot of the harris's even passage birds are vocal and do imprint to some degree.

I like redtails flown lots of them. My mate has a male HH x Goldie its a nice bird but its been hard work. I may get one but most I've seen have imprint traits, the breeders are all about the money these days and like to pull them to get another clutch hence most get imprinted in some way or another. A true pr one would be awesome.

Moorman and Tank, do you mostly use the Duffus style trap? Any particular supplier you recommend?
Hi Steve yes I mostly use the Duffus style traps from Flatpack. On occasions where needed I also use Putanges and Talpex traps.

I can't say for sure but yes I would think so, they are designed for the job. You can feel it pop when you hit a tube.
