What type of lurcher?

[Guest MOLLY]

A bit of an obscure question really ...ive seen a 'type' of lurcher only about 3 times in my life and they all look the same, was just wondering what x they would probably be?

 

They are always tall dogs 27" upwards are all creamy/white but its the coat which facinates/confuses me...the only way i could describe it is looking like an Afghan hound with a shorter coat...not as short as clipped but halfway...very thick, fluffy, straight hair. Ive seen one again lately and would just like an idea what would produce a coat like that?

probably saluki cross mate.

[Guest Top Chalker]

A lot of the Nuttall bred males would fit that discription..........

yeah saluki grey with the majority on the saluki

[Guest MOLLY]

So a Saluki x greyhound can look like an Afghan hound?

Very interesting, i always thought they would be feathered or smooth...thanks.

i seen c. nuttalls hughie a fair few years ago and she had a really wooley coat . i think it is a throwback to the bedlingtons which were used in these dogs a long time ago .

Like this?

 

If so they are saluki lurcher type, and there are a lot around your area. They get even woollier when they have be clipped out for coursing and it grows back softer and and fluffy.

 

I'm sure some of the coursing lads will be a long to tell you exactly where the coat comes from. I believe they are from the Merlin/Eve lines where there is weaten and bedlington blood.

 

I would be interested to here exactly where the coat come from if any one knows about Eve's breeding?

lovley looking dog mate, also beintrested to hear more about the lines these dogs have inherrited their coats fro m

[Guest lazylurchers]

Have remembered that there was an article about these types of dogs (Merlin and Eve lines) in EDRD mag a year or so back - never got the chance to read it properly but I think there was mention of Wheaton and Beddy - would also be interested if anyone knows more.

Fieldmarshalls dog has that sort of coat on him he's from coursing lines.

 

[Guest MOLLY]

Yep....they are exactly the type Ive not seen any around for a long time, till just recently.

Very interesting how they got that coat though.

Thank you.

i have an article on nuttalls dogs it says they were down from jeff smiths fly who was bedlington , whippet composite to a saluki , greyhound who was mated to tony winchats toby ( also known as the hoover ) who was a bedlington , greyhound / saluki , greyhound composite and from these came eve etc .
