    It’s not always that easy with Lurcher pups. My mate kept a strong square chested shortish coupled pup and he turned out a nice racey type which he was nt after. The small houndy looking bitch developed into a tank

    And the answer to the original question is they ll throw all sorts. I put a reverse 5/8 x 3/8 bull greyhound over a half cross bitch and the litter threw anything from short coupled 23 tts to 26 inch long lean dogs with good heads

    I know it looks daft but it was the only way I could think to simplify it
  5. jake824
    U think

    Easy way is.One parent would be 100% greyhound the other parent is 50% greyhound 50% collie The pups would be 150% greyhound 50% collie. Divided back down is 75% gh 25% collie or 3/4 gh 1/4 collie works for me anyway

    Bet the pup plays them up terrible

    aults. I ve tried all sorts over the years mate. Straw and shavings blocked the drains when washing down . It’s whatever works for you and all dogs are different. I ve got an old terrier bitch that whatever you put in her box be it straw, blankets ,paper she ll just sleep on top of her box.

    When I first built the kennels I put carpet on top and the 2 big dogs pulled it off. Now if the dogs were curled up on the carpet they d pulled off fair enough. I then went and got a load of blankets from the charity shops and again all pulled off and dogs just messed on them . I ll trust the dogs judgement

    I agree , but dogs curl up to get warm. Watch a dog in the sun or in the house they stretch out . On the raised beds under the heat lamps the lurchers lay on their backs or sides stretched out never tucked up.

    All the kennels are enclosed inside a building so no wind rain etc. The terriers have boxes but the lurchers sleep on raised beds . If u place blankets , carpet etc on top they ll drag em off .
  16. jake824
    They re good mate . Easy to clean, dogs can t drag em around and when it’s cold just stick a heat lamp over em

    Try to socialise her around other dogs. Every bull cross is nt guaranteed to be game . No matter how well it’s bred

    Kind offer mate I will certainly consider it thanks

    Good on ya Penda. Lovely gesture ?

    Good honest reply mate. That’s what I’m cautious of. If I could find a proper grafting. 3/4 bred I d breed the 5/8 litter but to be honest ringing lads all over there’s not one been mentioned doing what I would expect it to do.
  22. jake824
    I’m not knocking em or writing em off just been down that route . Done half x to half x as well bird , I ve kept and worked lurchers for a long time just always fancied breeding some genuine 3/4 breds
  23. jake824
    Have got chance to use a nice steady one that’s had a bit of work but is about 6 now and never lined a bitch . What bird says is what my reservations are for using him. Half crosses are like land rovers and take the knocks especially when they chase something flat out into a wood for example. Never run a 3/4 bred so not sure what to expect
  24. jake824
    I know exactly what u mean mate. I still have access to heavier dogs if needed but for the last 20 years I ve always been tempted to try adding the greyhound , but was always cautious about losing the fire in em. The bitch lacks nothing but pace so I’m very tempted to do the cross.
  25. jake824
    The greyhound in mind works mate . Thing is with a bitsa lurcher or racey bull cross u can throw all sorts. Been there done that
