matt1979 766 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Iwork, put a thread up a while back about my old man wanting a pup out of his dog bed x grey type 23tts, this dog is coming upto 8 and still going well and breed down from my old mans line of lurchers, has been proven and never takes a backward step. I would say having seen your posts for a while on here and seemingly the work that you do with your dog, i would have a pup out of this breeding all being well, as would my old man so theirs 3 got homes straight away if you were keeping one back. I think your not that far from where this dog is if i remember rightly, so if your interested let me know thanks, No big names in this dog but if you go out with him you will see he is genuinely very good at his job, been out with plenty of other lurchers and running dogs and he always at least holds his own. Sure it wouldnt be a problem to see the dog work on some of our permission, he is resting up after tangle with game last weekend, but should be back in action next few weeks cheers Matt I will put a link to the thread after this post for more pics cheers Quote Link to post

squab 2,875 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 if your wanting a whippet pup breed her to another, if your after something bigger buy in a well bred pup likely to make the size your after,save all the hassle and cost of rearing and selling pups Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 The only thing/time I've heard you fault your dog was on size, so I would be looking for a stud of her ilk just a bit larger 23" whippet. As you already know fast,agile,clever with a good nose, so larger clones of her would be ideal Quote Link to post

nothernlite 18,151 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Certainly less hassle buying one in but again a litter of pups to pick from after watching them for a while just thought I'd make it harder for you lol Quote Link to post

Best of luck with whatever you chose. As i say if you want to see the dog in question at any point give me a shout and my old man is certainly not the tye to be offended if he wasnt what you were after atb. Matt Quote Link to post

Would be very nice to rear a litter, watch them develop and then pick one before letting the others go. If you have the time of course. Quote Link to post

matt1979 766 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Morton i suppose that is always the risk with lurcher x s, if the whiipet is put back to a whippet then you will get a whippet and if that is what is required then obviously that would make sense. But i thought Iwork was looking for a little more size, hence my suggestion. The dog in question as i said is bed x grey, with a touch of whippet back in the line, nothing else. The line was started by very good track dog my dad owned back in the early 1980s (which was worked also) and was crossed with a bedlington x grey lurcher and to this was added only a pure whippet to the best of my knowledge all others bed grey lurchers, both parents of the dog above , were bed x grey type lurchers. i say type purely beacuse they werent first x as the bedlington was added at least 4 generations back. Father of this dog was a blue smoother coated bed x grey lurcher around 23 tts looked more grew like. The dam was a fawn rough coated bed x grey lurcher again around 22tts-23tts, both dogs worked. The litter my old mans dog came had 3 pups if i remember rightly 2 rough coated fawn dog pups and 1 smoother coated blue bitch. Hope this helps. I would have thought (i am no expert) but this type of lurcher would throw more consistency than adding something other than a whippet, as nothing in the mix is too large and the bedlington blood is a good few geneations back and only seems to show in the coat and perhaps the attitude of my old mans dog, or may be I am missing something. As i said sure others will differ but personally i think they would be decent pups, around 20-23tts mark probably with a mixture of smooth and rough coats, but i suppose its a guessing game to a degree.

Atb Id certainly advocate a Beddy /Grey over the Whippet,especially a good un,yet that dog of yours carries more in its breeding,a jacket like that and its conformation suggests hidden X,hidden X fecks the conformity of a litter.Id use that dog of yours over a lurcher without hesitation,but not over a Whippet. 1 Quote Link to post
