Good to hear your getting there mate.
-
Isn't there a dvd or something with someone ratting with pat x whippets....
-
Quick answer........ supply and demand.
-
I get my kicks from dogs that hunt......nothing finer than a flask of tea while sitting down watching my dogs hunting around in the distance.

She's quite quick, but not got the sharp turn of my other whippet lurcher. She covers more ground hunting than my other dogs and prefers to wait for the bolt just like a lurcher. I just mooch with her, fun little dog. She also stalks and try's to round up my other lurcher.
Quite a flattering photo....given what she looks like in some of the others.

Tops at around 21 to the shoulder, bit of an odd shape... I'll get a pic up
Got shape to her, but not as racier as your average lurcher,,,less than 50% sighthound.

Used to bush with a border collie bitch.....she'd work all cover, just not the really tight stuff my little jack fits under.
Got a springer x lurcher,,,,,not really a bushing dog by any standards but a good mooching dog.

Don't shake her by the scruff of her neck....bad advice.
You want a dog to be happy when they come back to you. I know it can push most people to boiling point when a dog continually ignores you....., but you have hide your frustration from the dog. The dog won't relate the shaking to not coming back to you, in fact quite the opposite.....and it has another reason not to come back to you.
Take it away from rabbits and work on recall and praise....don't over do it....make it a game... I'm sure there's plenty on the Internet...YouTube etc about recall training. Forget hunting for the time being.

Lovely looking dog.

Don't think you'll go far wrong. Check the dam n sire out though because there's a lot of people will tell you what you want to hear just to sell a pup. The amount of lies I was told when looking for my last two pups was staggering.

Which way round?I'm liking the collie whippet grey would be perfect for what I do 22tts would be perfect for what I do
1/2 collie 1/4 whip 1/4 grey
Or 1/4 collie
-
I got a 5/8 whippet 1/4 greyhound 1/8 collie and you wouldnt believe quite how much she acts like a coĺlie but she very fast at 22 inch tts perfect rabbit dog and chucks in the odd surprise on the lamp and in the day
Funny that, I've found some lurchers with a small amount of collie in there breeding sometimes do more stalking than the half crosses.

I've seen a couple of nice whippet x border collies on here, both were racier than I expected........but personally I'd want at least a bit of greyhound in the mix. Other than your usual Internet sites selling dogs and countrymans weekly there's always david hancock for greyhound x collies.

Type of collie?

I rescued this bitch, had her first litter at 10 months of age. I got her when she was about 18 months. She was a natural hunting bitch from the first day I took her out with my other dogs. She had a particular style when she hunted. If there was a bush in between two fields she would try to push the rabbit out in the direction she wanted....sounds daft, but I'm sure that's what she was trying to do.sort of flushing it for herself to chase. Not all collies seem to have the same hunting drive from my limited experience though.
She would work any cover.

First thing I do is get the foundations in place.....for me that's recall and lead work and walking to heel.......bonding with the dog etc.
The bushing bit is the easy bit.....just make sure you've got the obedience level you require first.

Lovely to see.

Think it was "Will I am".......bet they make cracking dogs. Saw some bedlington greyhound x springer advertised a bit back.
-
It's why I wanted one. I really needed a dog that wants to hunt...given there's not much around where I work. When I phoned regarding my bitch I was told it was gamekeeper bred working springer x greyhound........, but when I dug a little deeper it transpired it was actually the keepers springer bitch that his very old greyhound looking lurcher had managed to get his leg over with........accidental mating........but he was a keeper and he owned both dogs......so I took my chance.........Wuyang and Arcticgun, they are both cracking looking dogs. I had spaniels some time before lurchers and I'll always have a couple in the kennel for beating and shooting. I've said before on this forum that I'm surprised that more people don't use spaniels in a lurcher mix. They hunt, have soft mouths, are natural retrievers and have plenty of stamina.
I wonder if anyone has purposely put a decent springer dog over a greyhound, whippet or grew bitch? A few mates of mine trial spaniels successfully and some of the modern trialling lines are very racy. They might be ideal to sire a lurcher. Anyone wanna lend me a greyhound?!
I'm also impressed with her temperament....a joy to own. Like you I can't understand why there not more common.....great mooching companion.
-
Bloody hell they're like twins.Wuyang can yA believe how alike they look mate
Looks like yours might be more racey, it's got the same long neck though.
Where did you get it from? There where some saluki/greyhound x sprocker pups near me a while ago which I thought might be quite handy.
-
I wondered where it had gone....
My little springer x lurcher is becoming a good little hunting dog......
About a year old here

That needs reporting......some sick people about
-
Just a preference thing really,,,but I do favour small jrt...it's plain sailing for them......The ideal size dog for bushing tight brambles by a mile, but a long leg one will also get the job done no bother.......my concern would be more with the dams sire abilities......sort of avoiding hardcore digging dogs, but there are always exceptions to the norm.
