welshwizard 33 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have a BullxGreyhound Dog which is second generation bred. He is now coming up to seven years old, he has not done as much as I would have liked but lack of land has not helped. The question is he is not getting any younger, and I would like to get another bitch to breed with him to keep the line going. He is 24" and around 70lb . I have a twelve month old bitch out of him, but she is 3/4 Bull 1/4 Greyhound and is 22", not big enough for foxes and maybe she is a bit heavy. So I am thinking about buying in a Bull bred Lurcher bitch, but how much Bull would be acceptable in the Bitch so that I can breed my first cross with it? Obviously I am looking to put some speed into the line. So please responsible comments only. Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 In all seriousness mate I would ask why your breeding from a seven year old dog that by your own admission has not done as much as you would like? Also if land is a problem for getting out and working him, where will you work the offspring? Quote Link to post
robo-christ 40 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 what if buy a bitch and she doesnt make the grade? would you still breed her? im sure if you put the word out you could find someone with a working bitch to put your do to. Quote Link to post

With the greatest respect in the world, I had the dog's litter sister and she has taken all quarry in the UK, obviously pre-ban. I have run this dog with someone who has seen the litter sister run, and he has suggested to get another something to breed with as the dog is worth breeding out of. That is all I am saying, no pun. No Bull. P.S. The reason I got rid of his litter sister is she had a taste for mutton, no good in Wales. Quote Link to post
