So should a first x litter be named like it's come from a line mate...

f**k knows, my head's still reeling from the valleys banter! ?

Just to add, I'm probably not best qualified to answer that question, as I've never been a breeder/peddler.  ?

A line is only worth its name if it used extensively,...poor performers need to be removed and young stock should only be offered to men that can enter them sensibly, and test them to the full over a

Got to laugh...pulling up threads from 10 yrs back ...in the hope some mug blows some smoke up his arse? If he was the real deal...then he wouldn't of had a 10 yr break... dogs are a way of life

Problem with the lurcher game is that whilst it is full of passion and thrills,..it can also bring Heartache and sadness.. I'm sure we have all,..been there...? I've been around hunting dogs

Just get a pup thats already linebred 2 greys and a whippet will never make a line ?

Yep, all you'd be doing is pumping out first x whippet/greys.  Might have your name as the breeder, for example 'hancock lurchers', but it's not a line, just a 'type' or cross.

My thoughts also. The only gain from creating a "line" using only those two breeds would be if your ideal is a dog mid sized between a whippet and greyhound with nothing else added. Would negative the variation in size that you get in 1st and 2nd cross litters. Must admit the 23/24" grews are cracking types.

Aye then it’s just a line they use to sell dogs ? rather than a line of dogs.

I've had three 1st cross whippet/greyhounds of that size, and they were very good, tough, honest, versatile dogs.  It's a cross/type I get on well with, nothing too complicated.  ?

Easy to live with those I have come across.
