Spaniel/ Gundog Lurchers

[krawnden 1,036]

I've never seen a gundog based lurcher of any sort but have always liked the idea in principle, though I suspect a first cross would be lacking in speed. I'd love to see a 3/4 bred.

I wanted to breed some 3/4's from my bitch this year, she came in season a few weeks ago but was never interested in standing for the dog, when she should have been bang ready she went out? She might come back in i think, her body clocks been a bit haywire the last couple of years, a litter would probably sort her out a bit imo?

 

If i did breed or get the chance of a 3/4 i would still pick a pup with more spaniel influence, if any came out that way? I don't want or need really fast dogs for what i do, water any base blood down to much or breed to far away from the base and you'd lose the magic maybe?

yea she flushed it from some reeds and snatched it up, she takes the odd bit feather as well, but is fully stock broken to hens sheep cattle horses ferrets etc likesay she a real credit to the lad, he works her alongside many other dos and she more than holds her own by all accounts

I think the 3/4 cross would be real interesting

yea she was leggier of the two, the tallest was a dog that went to a pet home, she was always my favourite one out the litter , I was pleased my pal took her on and made her what she is now, surprise me how much the black ome looked like wuyangs one off here,

I agree mate, i'm happy with my little bitch, general purpose busher/scrounger, but i'd like to add another dose of runner and see what happened? The real problem is their size, mines 16" tts, and the lads is 18" tts, so i doubt they'd make anything but rabbiting dogs, probably ideal for a bit of mooching/ferreting, even a few runs in the lamp? But to see what spaniel really offered to lurchers you'd need a bit more height i reckon.

 

My lads talking about breeding another litter of first x's, but using a bigger grew, we know all the breeding behind both dogs for a long time, its solid stuff, these pups would be bigger, and very likely handy enough in their own right, and one more x to runner would be a fair prospect imo.........one things for certain, after trying the spaniel x's we both want to take it further, have to see what happens?

I tink id go more for a lighter coursing dog than a grew cant see the grew adding much but speed and youd get enough of that from a coursing dog plus better hunting instinct, stamina and feet, just my opinion, one of the best lurchers ive seen was Pointer of heres old bitch Tess she was casper saluki lurcher x gwp bitch she is a ral one off recovered from broken neck too go onto a great career day and night, lads only regret is not getting a pup off her to another cousign dog again 3/4 cross would of just been that bit handier, but she was unreal on lamp and great daytime in the land she was hunted on,

 

Id take any of these sort of crosses well above any collie x or beddy x type lurchers
