'sully' 1,119 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone working full greyhounds? I'm bringing in a bitch with intentions of breeding but will also be giving her a look. Decided on a tidy 56 lb bitch but her litter ranges from 56lb to 70 lb racing weights. 1 Quote Link to post

Not these days but in the past ive seen full greyhounds being worked, they were there for the same intentions that you have with them ...breeding them. Now if your breeding from one test it...and I mean test it...if it dont like it get rid and start again... after all this will be the foundation of any future pups and there nothing worse than starting with an iffy one. 5 Quote Link to post

Got two bitches (32kg and 36kg so big bitches) straight off the track and they work well. Key is spending time with them and allowing them to transition from race / kennel life over time. Both have good natures and are full blown catching and dispatching dogs. We have got them jumping on the ute and have their recall ok. Need to be mindful around stock and fences for obvious reasons. When one of them comes in season we will be putting a big roodog (staghound) over them in the hope to breed some slightly bigger boned greyhound types. Quote Link to post

joe ox 2,547 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ive just been given a greyhound bitch, she is no bother, recall is good, jumping in and out the 4x4 no problem, very quiet and no problem in the kennel, fine around my other lurchers and the border terrier our lass has in the house. I will run her like a lurcher with a few limitations see how she fares. 7 Quote Link to post
