Lloyd90 509 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I am just wondering for interest's sake about the pro's and con's of 2 different crosses that take my fancy. 1st - Beddy/whippet x grey 2nd - Collie/grey x whippet pro's and con's of either cross would be interesting to hear. The ground I am on is small field's, sand dunes, lots of gorse, hilly ground and some forestry ... Cheers for any help guys Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,261 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Either would do the ground as they are likely to be nippy being 3/4 sighthound, if your thinking of getting one perhaps go for the middle road with a beddy whippet X collie grey. Quote Link to post

Lloyd90 509 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Also be for a first time lurcher owner ... any reason for saying that Big Bald Beautiful ? ... Sandy - I did think that but was unsure as have heard they won't always throw the way you want and you never know . If I was doing that would probally try n find a beddy/grey x collie/grey - hoping the dog would make around 24" Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Owning a larger bred 22" whippet that I wouldn't work in tight woodland would be the reason I would pick a stronger type. He is fast and running open land is fine but on rough log filled woodland I wouldn't rate him at all. Quote Link to post
