To see how they do as a lurcher and if it's true they get injured often which I dont think is true if brought up in the field from a pup not taken straight off the track, i have a 3/16 bull bitch never had any problems ever but my land ain't rocky and is mostly big arable and small fenced paddocks so should cope fine

Picked her up at 20 to 7 this morning she's a confident little thing not intimidated by my bull x and terrier 

Best of luck with her busher. But just remember that even if you do rear her as a lurcher she’s still a greyhound and will never be as versatile as a lurcher.

I had a greyhound I reared as a hunter,good on roos and foxes,not very good on rabbits,too big and clumsy.Great mate and a surprisingly  good guard dog, but his feet would be bleeding after every hunt.He had great drive and spirit but his build let him down in the tough scrub over here.He was also a great killer of snakes.I can see why they are an almost essential ingredient of a lurcher.

If she's game and I can get 2 or 3 good runs out of her I'll be happy. She'll get plenty of work anyway
