Deerhound Greyhound Or Bedlington Greyhound Stud

[morton 5,367]

Why would breeding a greyhound create wastage tho 90% if not more lurchers are greyhound based

Greyhound is nearly 90% wastage and the most useful lurchers are best 25% Grew.

Hi guys my greyhound birch is 5 now had 3 season working and she is a great bitch does all asked of her

I'm wanting something to give her a better coat to her pups

I'm torn between a 1/2 cross deerhound grey or bedlington grey to do 3/4 bred pups to keep some hieght there and staying power my bitch stays for England and knows her job

Anyone got anything for stud and anyone used the 3/4 lines im wanting to produce many thanks

Id not breed from a Greyhound bitch to produce honest lurchers,false economy.Its better to breed from a lurcher and save all the wastage,fact.

You're confusing me here morton, and the issue. So if jase's bitch has done 3 seasons of decent work/lamping, seemingly with little in the way of many problems/injuries, that he's happy enough with to consider breeding a litter from, is she still 90% crap, or one of the remaining 10% of greyhounds or greyhound bred lurchers left that are any good?

@ bigjase1, if I were you I'd get talking to some of the lads that do have some good 1st cross deer/grey dogs and use one of them over her. Most 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhounds I've seen over the years have been great dogs, especially on the lamp. And I don't know where all this 90% wastage bollox comes from, I aint seen one that didn't try it's guts out, on whatever got up in the beam, and were also more than a tad useful during the day.

I like both types both tough and not injury prone but like all things the difficulty Is in finding the genuine article with a lot of time spent in the field behind it.

The decision is driving me mad lol took bitch out last night and she was a machine and did what I asked afain which is making me more determine to have a youngster from her

Is it just a coat yiu want to add? How about a border collie x type coat. My pup is smooth coat but the coat is awesome, really thick n weather proof. He's only 1/4 collie 3/4 grey

[bigjase1 159]

I couldn't use collie again there not my cup of tea collie grey

If not straight f1s wanted use a generation bred type animal of choice all types out there with coat , bull deerhound . dai has one on here give coat on some Welps and retaining prey drive good luck what Eva thy choice personally when breeding from a grey there no need ta add any more that I believe his what Morton his getting over . Failing that replace with like another grey .atb bunnys.

I didn't mean use a collie x mate. Just there coat as an example. Really thick but smooth, instead of a rough coat
