Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Personally I would be going for something lurcher to lurcher to make 24"-25". Dash of collie, dash of saluki, don't be scared of a bit of bull. My bitch 24" - breeding unknown... And my pup lurcher to lurcher works out 3/8 greyhound, 2/8 whippet, 2/8 deerhound, 1/8 collie - expected to make somewhere between 22" and 30" Link to post

What's happened to him? Just seen post above. He jacked. Must be devastating that. Probably worse than losing him in the field to an accident. Knowing you've given them everything and they haven't got the heart. Did you PTS? Link to post
whitefeet4190 1,729 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I am gutted I gave him to a bloke for a pet and a bit of ferreting which he loved but he jacked on me last year and just ran most of the time half heartedley but gave him another chance because sometimes he would amaze me with his catches, but I took him out last week and caught his first rabbit and then ran all the way home on his second one across 2 fields and a main road, I am gutted but I can't trust him not to jack again it's so fustrating because he was bred really well and started off really well and I wouldn't of changed anything else about him apart from more drive.
