  13. Dog DNA Test

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    I always thought that DNA couldn't be used to determine breeds unless it's used with a comprehensive DNA DATABASE so that the dogs that are in your dog would have to have their DNA catalogued as well. It's like if you take the DNA of a ped whippet I don't think they can determine whether it's had some non ped blood sneaked into it's ped simply by looking at the DNA only by comparing it with the DNA of it's supposed ancestors which would have to be on database as well. I may be wrong but I'd keep my money in my pocket

  15. coursing bred whippets??? wheres the thread gone?

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    I never seen the original thread unless it was started a good while back. But coursing with whippets started seriously (organised) early 60s with many different lines taking part over the years. Lagunas obviously (alot of sooty sam early breeding is from coursing stock), nimrodel (colonel walsh used favour this line) Moonlake from the 70s madison moonlake 3x winner nichol cup changed to moonlake in his honour, Chyton (copy press from moonlake breeding one of only two show and coursing champs other = Sound Barrier), Jimanica started from lagunas / sound barrier in 70slast winners of moonlake cup 2005 , Banatay started from Jimanicas in 90s, Tony dents line (whats behind the masque, skylarks majestic etc ) started from Banatay and special little rat sooty sam x gorwyn glissando) so you can see there is a progression through years. Many other dogs and affixes as well with some show dog blood to retain conformation ch Welstar red robin one of the top producing sires and some race blood as well.

  21. whippets for working?

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Even for whippets to be compared with lurchers just shows what cracking little pure bred dog they are. A lurcher combines the best qualities of many breeds to produce the ultimate hunting dog the gene pool is potentially endless. Pedigree whippets are great little dogs' easy to keep and can be too brave for their own good they're not going to suit everyone but when mine have been out with lurchers daytime it's the whippets that have invariably caught they always hold their own and each to their own

     

    thats the plan but sometimes you get the worst qualities instead :thumbs:

    Very true
