ftm 3,357 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 not all 1st crosses are up to the job mate but it depends on what cross and what type of work you you want your dog to do- horses for courses mate Quote Link to post

bunnys 1,228 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 good topic this ,greyhound his not necesary the beall in the make up of a good all round type for edible game ,deerhound blood saluki also have lots more to offer than greyhound .hardiness good strong foot the ability have a good head for running the game time and time again over many sessions a season .modern greyhounds invarably add those weaknesses we all dislike in a lurcher week foot amongst many no running brain of live game the negatives far out way the positives.atb bunnys.
