ferreting king 9 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 What is the best first cross you have worked or seen work , be it a saluki grey, collie grey bull grey etc, I think it will be interesting to see what most people choose because in certain parts of the country you can guarantee there will be no working collies or bulls to put to a bitch.. So do people breed pet to worker and keep there fingers crossed for a good outcome Quote Link to post
chartpolski 25,874 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I don't understand your bit about "certain parts of the country" ? This country is small enough to travel any where to get the right dog. Anyone who would use a "pet", instead of travelling for the right stud shouldn't be breeding dogs. Cheers.

whin 463 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 a lot of peoplel i think use non worker as thats why there so much tripe going about i mean look at som e of the big old scottish deerhounds un worked collies .over muscled pit bulls , show pony saluks , greyhouhds who are not to clever. whippets that are fine no real pace etc not like proper whippet racing type , its a sad fact that only clever types of hunters are useing good to good , or champ to proven workers , i wouldnt breed a litter of first crosses unles noth parents are well worked as you never find good pionts until tested or bad pionts 3 Quote Link to post
