Why?

Well you already know what I've ran over the years mate and we've had this conversation recently, but these days with the climate as it is and never trying to be a one trick pony, i'm always gonna look to Lurcher to Lurcher bred dogs, from sound, well tested parents.

At the moment, I have one of each; a Lurcher, (Beddy/Grey x Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey), and a Longdog, 1st x Deer/Grey.It's impossible to say what type is best, as they are for different jobs, but both will have a decent go at each others job ! It's all a matter of personal choice and what you use the dog for.

 

Cheers.

When I was young I as out with a gun pack in llangollen north wales,I went over to the terrierman and asked about his dogs,when I asked him " what sort of dogs r they mate" he said"just mongrels innit" I at the time had a couple of russels.he then went on to explain to me they come from his and his friends best dogs over the years,and that they wer a mixture of breeds but all good grafters.that's when I learned grafter to grafter.
