benchick 42 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 "Breed from shite produce shite" well ive seen some shite come out of half decent workers decended from generations of workers aswell so we might aswell all stop looking for the perfect pup and just all come to you because you seem to know everything Quote Link to post
brad88 133 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just do the breeding see how it goes.... If I had pups you certainly wouldn't have one Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Even if u got the right bull u need a greyhound that will take ur intended quarry not just some shite off a track that's had a couple of races Stop talking rubbish, plenty of very good dogs have been bred from track greyhounds.

stabba 10,745 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Take the red nose lamping for a few nights on the trot. See what he's made of. Hardly rocket science is it. Least that way you'll get an inkling of whether he's suitable breeding stock or not. 2 Quote Link to post

merle24 61 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) How many,,pure greys, get tested in the feild not the track,, more oftern than not there is atleast 50% of the greys blood coursing through our lurchers veins,, yet many of us couldnt say for sure if they were tested on quarry in the feild. They are the platform baseline for our lurchers, to fail here is to fail at the first hurdle,,,or is it. Some may say so long as the grey is sound in conformation and shows decent preydrive and speed then that is enough to warrant its use. imo there is not enough emphasis on the grey side of lurcher breeding, i think in the past many are guilty of not being fussy enough. This imo maybe the differance between good dogs,, and special ones. As for the pit blood,,, if it is pure pit (which i doubt) or has a heavy influence of full pit blood then you will not find anything in the uk to sicken it,, its not in there dna to jack,,large staffs on the other hand well thats a different story.

DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Trust me Pure Bulls can jack and be sickened if they're not made of the right stuff, some dogs are born cold, by all means it should have plenty of drive but there's only one way to see if it's got the heart.

That last paragraph is 100% pure bullshit.... Yeah sure it is pal,, i am talking full pit blood,,, not the fat staffy bully type off the street corner,,, fully pit or mostly pit would only jack on one thing here in uk an thats if you used and abused the dog, overworked and or unconditioned it all plays a part to contribute to jacking things forgotten. You see alot of bull blooded lurchers that are imo overkill for the uk unless youre after ,,them,,cough cough in which case why the feck would you want greyhound in the mix, your just diluting the attributes needed to excel at that game. I am sure all the bull x boys know all about there bull blood lines in there lurchers......not. Quote Link to post
