It was painful slow, couldn’t even catch white hares. It didn’t last much longer when it went back up to him he’d had enough of it Quote Link to post

Was keen as well no matter how many it missed it always kept trying, but just had no gears at all. Quote Link to post
C.green 3,203 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I found they got overheated quickly. Wich made them look worse than they were even the shortcoated types. Make a meal of things that should of been bashed and done. Like anything bet there odd gooduns about but i cant say ive seen one i thought was better than straight bull greyhound. Quote Link to post
jackthelad 1,855 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 like any cross iv seen bull greyhounds over heating aswell smoked if you keep these big types stripped down and fit put the time into them early with entering and decent snap into them there a difrent animal i had one 20 year ago this thing would have went threw a wall for vermin problably the best finishing dog iv saw Quote Link to post

My lads big Deerhoundy is going over his wheaten lurcher this time around,the Deehoundy as been asked to cover several Bull bred lurcher bitches and ive advised against it,the amount of times Bull bred lurcher owners want more from what the cross gives them?.He will put him over his Wheaten lurcher as the Wheaten offers far more,far more often and without the assistance the Bull lurchers are often wanting.Both Wheaten and Bull lack pace and gears,the Wheaten as more nose and nous than the Bull lurcher.I don,t believe ive ever witnessed a lurcher as useless as the straight Bull bred uns,they are one trick pony,s,good at drove to,dug to,teeth,4th rate at lurcher work. 1 4 1 Quote Link to post
