Planning ahead

[Runner96 503]

Thinking in the long run. Been pleased with how my little dog has come on, wanting to find him a bitch to put him over in the next couple years. Wanting something with a little more height. What are your thoughts? He is 21”tts Dam collie, whippet, bull, grey. Sire 3/4 beddy whippet.

Sorry to jump on but I’d be looking to put a good beddy / whippet / greyhound over my bitch in a year or so, is there many men on here running this sort of breeding? Mine is line bred Saluki x whippet x greyhound

I do like that dog mate lol. 

If you're happy with how he is, then if it was my dog, decision would be simple. Same type, but without whippet, maybe with a little more greyhound in. Bred to a bitch of around 24 - 25" should, in theory give you dog pups around 24"ish, bitches around 23"ish.

Always got to plan ahead mate better than leaving it till last minute If it was me it’d be to a beddy greyhound type with a bit of size an bone to it wouldn’t want to add anymore whippet in there but saying that what ever you put him to you could still get throw backs smaller than you already have but gotta be worth the chance if your happy with the dog

Yep, something like your bitch, in a couple of years time. Could be a very nice litter

Think something similar type to that bitch of mine would make a nice little litter but with my bitches breeding because there’s so much in there it’d be a right scatter breeding I mean with my original litter/s the first litter was relatively even just rough an smooth the second litter that was a repeat mating same dam an sire it was a right hotch potch litter some were like collie crosses some like beddy crosses all at various heights tts I had one to look at you’d say none ped (whippet greyhound) for my bitch I’ve got now if I was to breed in the future it’d have to go to a greyhound as her breeding needs ironing out a bit I don’t wanna put any more bits an bobs in there as the sire an dam to my bitch as been Lurcher to lurchers for quite a few generations now

Was thinking something like beddy/grey. Have a friend who keeps a nice Saluki bull grey bitch, but she is still Young, but you never know.

Always gotta keep your options open mate that’s the beauty about dogs were as bitchs you’d need to make your mind up if you wanted a little by 5-6yrs old but a dog you can get a litter out of them later on in yrs

Bull x then

Think a good beddy greyhound mixes nicely with other xs normally producing handy pot hunting dogs for general use ive seen it a good number of times over the years with over bred dogs that gets put back to a f1s don’t know what it is but they tend to produce high prey driven dogs with good noses,decent coat,trainable,decent enough feet well constructed for running

What about a straight grey, bigger dog and not lose any pace.

Was thinking that myself. But they got shit feet, no stamina, too much prey drive, no brains, crap coat, eeerm, give me a minute, and I'll try to think of a few more negatives lol

Lol, I've had a pure grey as a lurcher and you are not wrong but crossed Runner's lurcher I think they could get the good parts, size, drive, more uniformity in the litter maybe. I really liked my pure grey he was loyal, a good guard and always put in 100% but I wouldn't have another pure one for hunting.
