    Utter nonsense! Same as people, all dogs are individuals, and even if it's you're favorite type, it will have it's own slightly different character, and to me that's part of the fun of bringing on a new pup, even if it does your head in a bit more for a while than the previous pup did. Not saying the above post is nonsense, just the cloning mullarky!

    edited to add, and the above post from border lad lol

    As paulus, borderscot and fazza have said, also a fair percentage of lurchers in rescue centres etc could well have been stolen and tried by said thieves and fecked off and found wandereing, might be feck all wrong with the dog

    Good point that mate, I also believe you bond far better etc with a type that you genuinely like and want, not one you get just cos they're the current trend. For example, I really like collie/grey x deer/greys, and collie/grey x whippet/greys, or a mix of both, and never had any bother with em, cos they suit me down to the ground

    Agree 100%, and so laid back and easy to live with, and the bitch we have now you'd hardly knew you had a dog in the house, can't fault em

    Don't think it was that drastic, depending how close you lived to hunting grounds that held deer, a couple of toes taken off, or hamstrung, something along those lines, as far as my memory recalls what I read years ago. Couple of people on here will correct me if otherwise. Sandymere is normally spot on with running dog history, as I'm sure a couple of others are, but he came to mind first

    Nice quartet of dogs there bpr, are they all pure whips? Fawn/white pup is a non ped... The rest are peds ... All very nice dogs mate, but those two black young uns are exactly my cup of tea, belters

    f**k all wrong with mousehounds mate, whatever their size lol, nice pup

    I'd agree with that, and that's how our bitch is bred, sire 1st x collie/grey 25", dam 1st x deer/grey 26 1/2". Was thinking she'd level out around the 25" mark, but finished at almost 29", and I'm glad now that she did, never got her for ferreting, lamping and daytime, and her height has been a bonus, she doesn't struggle on anything

    Bit of a read that mate, but yeah, quite interesting, but don't tell banter, I think he's in denial ,

    Well , f**k it, all this theorising is doing my head in!

    Birddog's already given a rundown of the dog's qualities, drive being one of them, I think the dog sounds a very good worker and definitely worth putting into a line of lurchers. And I don't think a 40% failure rate would happen, depending on what type of work the resulting pups would be worked at. If people are talking about fox, 40% failure rate sounds about average to me

    Horses AND a mad cow in the same field, fuking hell that's bad luck! lol

    I love that analogy, ugly munters are a joy to ride Also there are some really good looking dogs built right that are also fabulous workers, I know which I'd prefer

    Lol, seen a couple mates dogs years ago hitting headstones etc, hard enough to put em out of action for several weeks. Never go near the places with any of my dogs. Rabbits in graveyards etc are better, and more safely, taken by snaring, ferreting or air rifle

    Nice pup, keep him on lead in a cemetery though, disaster for a running dog

    No, you don't. You need good base lines, but breeding lurcher to lurcher, however good they work, is a lottery. It always has been and always willbe UNLESS you know the exact lines of each - but that is more selective breeding than just worker to worker. I despair sometimes of the general ignorance that is shown. I have bred my strain true for over 30 years. Not as a mney maker,just to replace my own dog when needed. If people understood breeding and genetics you wouldnt see so much claptrap as that written in the previous 14 pages. There are some good posts, but you can spot the "I am a b

    Not really a saluki x fan, but been following this thread and all these pups are crackers, but red bull's black and brindle/tan pup is a belter

    They started bowing at about 8 weeks mate... Ok now though, what did the vet say it was due to, and remedy? Didn't take her to the vets pal. Just stopped feeding her high protein complete food.
