11 Years Tomorrow Since The Hunting Ban Came In
poxon replied to cocker's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Hunting ban what hunting ban was that lol -
My favorite xs are the traditional suff collie xs an beddlington xs or a mix of both I prefer these to greyhounds than whippets I personly think your less restricted on usage to a greyhound OK a little bit of whippet in the mix is a good thing but to much spoils the broth for me
-
Not many people actually keep a true line of lurcher.more just unrelated lurcher to lurcher bred dogs not really line breeding not many lurcher men/women have the space or time/work to put in to all the dogs required to breed a lurcher line
-
My definition of a lurcher is a purpose bred mongrel sight hound that has trainability an is able to provide meat for the table
-
Mine looks just like that bitch

I use virkon s in my bird room I've used it for about 5yrs its very good stuff I use it for cleaning all perchers drinkers feeders egg food draws nest pans I just soak every thing in a big bin I also use it to clean the cages floors an walls I also use a small pinch in to a spray bottle an mist spray the birds an add a pinch to 2l or bathing water for the birds works for me

I'm not a bull x fan but bottom line is a drop of bull blood in any lurcher mix adds good things I'm more a traditional type of lurcher owner I like collie xs beddlinton xs an deerhouns xs but if I was ever buying a pup in an it had a drop of bull blood in there it wouldn't put me off if the parents doing the biz

Not long know mate

The lurchers of yesteryear were they as good as some people make out? My thoughts are if they were as good as made out were are they today why did the people who ran them not breed on an keep sound stock for them selfs an keep lines going to this day instead of buying a new dog in of unknown quality when a new runner is needed or was it a case of there was less people out hunting with dogs at that time less housing so more land also the old chaps moaning were a lot younger without family commitments an could get out more to do abit a lot more often ??

Is a shame there's not more of this cross about as I think a well bred beddy/greyhound is a handy x I think a lot of the problem is down to finding genuine parentsie good working beddy an a decent greyhound

Bedlington/greyhound X Collie Whippet Greyhound
poxon replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Just my thoughts harvey88 I'm surprised there's not more of this cross about -
Any one own or work this cross I'd be interested to find out how you found this cross or if you've had this cross in the past pre ban or ban in place
-
Interesting stuff this Vick minshaw lark still none the wiser after reading all this

I've a little half x beddy whippet she's 7yrs old there cool looking little lurchers but I don't think I'd have another my bitch is 17tts shes shit on the lamp giving her size far more rabbits get away than are court as she gets out paced as the lands flat big land the rabbits don't give second chance but as a mooching about bitch she's not bad she marks to ground an ferrets very very well I think a beddy greyhound to be a far better choice but as for beddy whippets yapping on the lamp I've not encountered this with mine
-
I've a line bred collie deerhound greyhound x whippet greyhound she's 26tts and works as well as any small lurcher I think its down to what there shown is as the norm I think any lurcher will work with ferrets
-
A good Beddy greyhound half cross if it was mine

Collie x and deerhound x. Coming together
poxon replied to collie x's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
looks like the good dog men are getting on this now its a good cross mate what can i say im a traditonalist i like the old style and saying dont try an fix something thats not broke so to speak a splash of deerhound in any collie cross will only bring good things
