bigdaz 688 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 try hancock.... no thanks I want a working dog not a show dog I had a first cross bitch from Hancock, never seen a show and was one of the best, if not the best all round lurcher I've seen. Wouldn't have suited you though mate, a lot of work went into her, some before the eight/nine month mark which you're looking to avoid, also travelled further to work her than you're willing to travel for a dog. 5 Quote Link to post

My mate bred a liter out his working hill collie that lamps ferrets and dos all round farm [BANNED TEXT] sheep and cows. Grey was used on the hares reg. Put a few picks up of a bitch out liter plus getin few fotos of the others 5 out of 7 hav made very good around dogs. 2 out of the 5 comin very special on rabs able to take 30-40's if the rabs there 2 are average that wont do teeth but take edible. I say most that join any two dogs just cos they the breed they want in dog and wang em togeva cant be to serios about the game. Worker to worker for me even if 1st x Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 They must be the worse cross of lurcher to buy /be given At anything above 6 months old. Not sure I would take one on unless I knew the breeder had done the basics and had them socialized. Quote Link to post

Obviously ,.when you have got a good line going,..it is sensible to keep on,.keepin on,... But ,..if you decide to start your own type,.from scratch,.be it a Pure Deerhound or a Sheepdog,..Bull Blood,.whatever,..you often have to accept a bit of compromise... Working blood has got to be favourite,..OBVIOUSLY,...however,..somebody, somewhere has to take the plunge, be the first, and when they have done so,..and produced a sane and sensible, capable critter, it is then up to the keenest of the keen, to test them and possibly refine the hybrid, as best they can...Indeed, many of us want different things from our working dogs,..so,.there is no definites or sure -fire favourites in this game... If success was guaranteed and easy, we would all know where to go for our replacement jukels... I count myself lucky,..a rabbit speeding towards a net, and a skinny cur catching one or two..is all I realy need Edited June 24, 2013 by Phil Lloyd 7 Quote Link to post
