Bosun11 537 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 The only two things that bother me about it are the prices (because i'm old enough to remember!) an the daft names. Other than that, so fecking what...!! Our lurchers are created twixt different breeds, so as are a lot of working terrier types. Lets face it, purebreds where either created a long time ago by those seeking one particular need with, and we are looking to the long time past now, maybe limited choices around them to breed from. Maybe i'm nieve but from what I know of dogs since the boom of kennel club registration, only hunters seemed to harness two (or more) breeds together to 'improve' on efficency and output? If you can look forward enough and see what bringing two purebreds together to create, either something that improves either parent, or somatt you really need and you fecking well do it, then hats of to you.

young man 225 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 i no what your saying mate!!! ive even heard about people crossing greyhounds with dogs like collies and bull terriers to create something called a "lurcher", f*****g makes me sick what are you yalking about why what do you breed them with saluki collie x are the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
young man 225 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi i for the life of me cant why some people let there labrador etc breed with another breed of dog then end up calling them some blooming numpty name if it happens by mistake put the pups down, dont sell them for outrages prices they are mongrols not worth anything, where has common sence went, what do you folks think about this I think that is an unfair sweeping statement to make. Cross breed dogs can be worth a lot to the folks who own them, only they are in a position to name their worth. Who is to say the lab x GSD did not make a good guard or the lab x springer a good gundog or the lab x collie a good mountain rescue dog or indeed all the other mutts who are REAL WORKING DOGS in that they really do something useful like being trained as hearing dogs for deaf people? I agree there is no need to pay big money for a dog, whether it be a cross breed or indeed a pedigree riddled with health problems. But it think it is wrong to say a crossbreed has no worth. you are totaly right mate i think your man things paddigrees are the best haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooch. 177 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Surely most modern "pure breeds" are the result of a cross mating many many years ago. How many matings must take place before what was originally a cross is considered a pure breed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
