I've worked a few ex-racing greyhounds. Not in a serious way that some lads do though. Never been into the numbers game or involved in serious pest control. Most of my sport has been hunting small ter

Ran the local flapping tracks. A one for the pot dog and roamed the streets like most dogs in the 70s.

I know nothing of bull crosses, but I did my own thing for years working percentages, and I had better dogs before  and since is all I can say, and in 50 years of coursing dogs I learned a lot, some p

Problem is a whippet gases out when the greyhound is just getting going. 

Prob best starting with a good proven grew to start a lurcher line. 

Do love the greyhound thou there speed and there prey drive are hard to beat 

Agree with ya mate,just don't understand why so many think the greyhound just brings speed to The lurchers they run .

if I was starting a lurcher line I would start of with a grew .

Let's not get away from the fact that probably over 50 percent of lurchers have a good chunk of greyhound in them, what would any first x be like if we didn't have the greyhound? They must be half decent or we still wouldn't be using them to breed lurchers over pure salukis or deerhounds

I don't doubt your correct about the greys part in what we have today, but do we genuinely nead to be breading f1 hybrids when there is a wealth of quality lurchers out there, I have bred some very good f1 sal greys over the years, but if im'e honest they are not as good as a line bred dog in my opinion, and I am sure that is true of other crosses, my best ever coursing dog so far was a beddy whippet lurcher cross pure saluki no greyhound at all.

Nothing is ever needed there is no need for all the different lines of bull x when a good one of any line will do the job but I would like to know what's in my lurcher, lots of these line bred bull greys have forgotten the ancestry of the pits used probably weren't even game bred pits but they still do the job but I bet they could do it as good if not better with better blood in them

Just my opinion tc but some lads just want to do their own thing I’ll agree that once the first dose of greyhound has been used there’s no real need to add it again and line bred will always be better than the 1st crosses but folks saying that all the greyhound brings to the table is speed is totally wrong Imo.

i see what you meen, but finding good bull blood today for your average joe wont be easy im'e sure, and if you've done it already use another over it they will beat an f1 hands down.
