jcm 2,327 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well [bANNED TEXT] I picked my pup up 18-19 month ago or maybe a bit longer now it was dropped off at someone's house for me and I was told he was a Beddlington type lurcher as the lad who's house the dog was dropped off at he had just getting a beddy whippet and I thought they were litter mates. Anyway thanks to facebook iv found out who the breeder is have now got pictures if both dam and sire the correct date they were born. Iv found out that the dam to my dig is a collie grey and found out that the sire is a 3/4 bred saluki bred down from cruise of shildon to a benji bred dog, turns out my lamping, ferreting, mooching dog has some decent blood in him. However I'm not realy bothered about names down the line etc more bothed about how litter mates turned out size structure etc. It's nice to finally find out how a dif is bred now its not a guessing game Quote Link to post
baldockbanks courser 598 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Don't matter if its got a few decent hare dogs names on one side the collie xs mother will wash all that out. As for coursing you can't put a derby winner to a cart horse and expect them to win the derby. But saying that if you arnt to bothered about killing every hare then it could improve them on rabbits.

jcm 2,327 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Like I said pal names don't mean a thing to me, I'm just glad I found out Abit about His background rather than guessing, he aint to bad at retrieving a hare either but he more of a lamping mooching dig but a do like a long run Quote Link to post
