The worst lurcher I have ever seen was bred out of the best bitch that ever took a hare [according to the owner of the bitch], this guy made his reputation out of this one bitch. I also bred one of my better dogs 1st x deer/gru with a full gru bitch, kept a bitch for myself, flying machine, hunted, carried to hand, went through barb wire like a chipper, gave it away to boys that went for white hares,that was its level.
