Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I didn't say they couldn't mate, most dogs with running dog will catch rabbits on lamp. I just don't think it's needed really for what he's wanting it for, could increase size quite a it and I had a pup with a bit of saluki in it, was a right royal pain in the arse tbh lol. I'd be looking at something similar 1 Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not blinkered mate, just thinking about what he will be using it for that's all. You could get a 30" deerhound x catching 30-40 rabbits a night, but I wouldn't use it if I wanted to catch rabbits in woodland and lamp some fields for rabbits lol Nice dog btw, atb Quote Link to post

Thanks If you are happy with the type then why not look for a similar type? If you start putting saluki or collie blood in you are likely to change the type altogether. Dont gamble or think its useless to plan like some on here,but think about what you want. If it were me I would be looking for a beddy whippet stud dog so I had some notion of what the pups might look and act like. Get a strain going in years to come and you will have something to be proud of instead of swapping and changing. Quote Link to post
