But that all changed when you brought in the Mastiff type sled dog, so why even mention your dog?

And surely if the line went back far enough, wouldn't it be a breed? Food for thought.

The hairy dogs I have now come from a 'family' (can't really use the word 'line') which has been lurcher to lurcher bred for many years. The first bitch I had from these lurchers sadly died at an early age, but the breeder's stud dog was used over my friend's bitch, and I've been breeding from that side of the line ever since. The breeder was Anne Powers, and they were lurcher to lurcher when she got into them back in the 60s, if I remember rightly. There's a couple of photos of her dogs in Ted Walsh's Lurchers and Longdogs book: Bimbo, a white rough lurcher with a brindle 'saddle patch' and a little bitch called Bridget: she used both when she was breeding her line of lurchers.

She once wrote down a list of every dog and bitch which had been used through the years by her or her friends, but it means bugger all as far as breeds are concerned: the way she told it went something like this...............Mr X's fawn rough coated dog to Anne's brindle bitch, a dog from which went over So and so's brindle bitch, and so on. The actual breeds within the line were of no great importance to Anne: its what the dogs were like which mattered to her, and although she never worked them seriously herself, they had free run of her farm: she used to tell me stories about dogs which would go out on the farm and return an hour or so later and jump over the stable door into the kitchen and present her with a hare or a rabbit!

 

I shall never know how long they have been lurcher to lurcher bred, but it would be nice to think that they are a very old line. I doubt they could rival the 400 years that Burrell claims of his lines LOL

theres a few local lads that own lurcher x lurcher breeding that live near me.

which i bred and can trace the linage back 35 years,

most of these lads dont want to know lines and how far they go back because once they own the dog its tunnel vision.

its a shame because theres so much to tell about each and every dog that was used in the making of these dogs.

atb dai.

doesnt it say on his website he added kelpie/wirehaired pointer and ed reid bull blood to his "strain"

or did i read it wrong ,

its that bit where they are on about someone adding husky blood to a lurcher.

[boyo 1,398]

the bit about the husky in there is true a very good freind of mine was the one who used the husky and still has a strain of them with it in but diluted down now .

[forest of dean redneck 11,207]

yeah i read that but if burrell added all above to his tumblers then its not really a lurcher strain anymore is it.

as it was pure bred dogs used not lurchers with that blood in them.

[trigger2 3,100]

can someone tell me whats the minimum requirement of breeds needed in a dog before they are classed as a lurcher.

[skycat 6,172]

A sighthound and another breed: collie, terrier etc.

and although she never worked them seriously herself, they had free run of her farm:

 

sounds like a puppy farm if she was breeding lots of lurchers that never got worked
