I don't understand the 90% wastage thing ,by using a greyhound,I'd have thought the wastage comes from the other side especially if breeding 1/2 crosses

If you do decide to breed, the fact that your greyhound works would be a huge plus when homing pups. Lots of former racing greyhounds are given to lurcher breeders which could have all sorts of problems: fighters, non chasers, prone to injuries etc. Your bitch must be a robust type and may pass on that robustness to her pups.

Tbh a dog on the track that does turn its head to have ago is the dog you want as it's got the vest to go in you can calm that down when out in field as they actually get the prize at end

I've had and owned this line for 15 yrs only in last 4 yrs I took layla home and it was only by chance that she came out lsmping and killed and never battred an eye lid

Alot of Grey's that come off track are over looked but if you watch them into the bends if they drive in crowded than they worth working trust me

The famous lines and top stud dogs are all dodgy westmead hawk and his brother joe all battered dogs after the winning line they need fire in there belly

Ive yet to see a litter of pups bred out of a greyhound dam that could live with a litter bred from a proper lurcher dam.I find breeding from a Greyhound is the easy option all of the time.Why breed from a Greyhound Dam?,Why?.Name anything that a Greyhound Dam offers that a lurcher dam cannot offer 2,3 or 4 fold.If you wish to produce an even litter of saleable pups go with the easy option,if you wish to produce productive working progeny then shoot every mutt thats better equipped to track and less field work.Ill guarantee that there will be many a useful mutt out there Greyhound Dam bred,FACT,ill better guarantee that the vast majority with a Lurcher Dam will fare a damn sight better most of the time and not just some of the time.

That's a bold statement bud cause 99% of lurchers come from the greyhound weather it's collie greyhound to collie greyhound (lurcher to lurcher ) it's a half and half if it bed grey cross collie grey it's half grey so on and so on the fact the lurcher is crossed with hound takes away your theory

Id say % of lurchers are lurcher to lurcher bred,the grew influence is often useful,yet well diluted in the best of lurchers.Collie,Saluki,Deerhound,Whippet,Bull have more honest influence on lurcher production than any Grey ever did.Who breeds a litter of lurchers for what a Grey offers as a worker?.

But the greyhound is the fondation of the lurcher

Totally agree mucker,flour is the foundation of the best Gateau,yet the chocolate,cherries,cream and sugar is the Gateau and is responsible for its appeal,flour is flour,it aids the mix,it never responsible for the taste.

Theres me thinking he wants a few opinions,as opinions are like arse holes and we all have one,he may wish to pick and choose.

I have bred from greys taken has six week old Welps and done well in the field for a grey ,the progeny from a grey and a lurcher with bags and bags and bags of running nouse stamina robustness nose etc all that's needed for a serviceable lurcher .guess what all but the speed the main qualities were lost stamina gone the grey had more than her Welps the ability to stay sound gone and so on not one got past there second season culled or injured.the reason I mentioned if it's a grey ones style likes replace with like when X see be a a start then and going back three paces to one foreword.that be my thoughts and experience of a grey .atb bunnys.
