All Rounded Lurcher

[Neil85 22]

I'm after some advice on a good all round lurcher. I've had a variety of dogs in the past but I'm looking at getting a lurcher after some time away from the sport. I'm favouring a whippetxcolliexgreyhound mix as I have had success with these in the past. However I am struggling to find a pup by this description and was wondering what some of you are using. Oh and I'm not interested in a bull x which seem to be the 'in' thing atm. Any suggestions/experiences

greatly appriciated

Depending how all round you want then a dash of bull blood could serve you well.

 

I'm giving the beddy cross alot of consideration at the moment.

 

3/4 grey 1/4 beddy or beddy/grey x whip/grey.

 

Not all round as such but should be pretty versatile.

the cross you have mentioned should be fine pal

I've had a couple of all roundes the best one if had was a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie x 1/2 greyhound 1/2 deerhound. ..I wish I still had him anything that dog saw he would kill

first lurcher i had was deerhound greyhound x collie greyhound,dont seem popular nowadays but good honest dogs and have a decent go at most things day or night

I do like that cross but I am struggling to find any pups.

 

That sounds like a good dog Daz but its the deerhound that puts me off as they are a really large dog. Looking for something around 25/26"tts, as I will have it in the house all the time due to dogs being stolen in the area before.

My brothers currently running a bedlingtonxwhippet and shes a smashing little dog, really starting to come on. Think I will have to consider some sort of beddy cross however crossed whippet they are a bit small, his only stands 19" and looks like a strong wind could blow it over, good ferreting though

The deerhound cross I had was 26 inch tts,if you can get one out of working type deerhounds rather than show bred deerhounds ,should'nt get too tall,also had a first cross bedlington greyhound bitch, ran her as a coursing bitch (pre ban)she was only 23 inch tts very game little bitch,keen on the lamp aswell,but repeated short sprints used to cause her a lot of toe and stopper injuries

Thanks for the replys guys. I found a dog in the end, its a bedlington/whippet x collie/greyhound. The only thing is I forgot how much work a six week old puppy is lol
