mush 204 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 They have only one speed and thats flat out trying to kill them selves. If they get the whippet skin they open up like a zip. if they live long enough the make great dogs as long as it don't rain lol Quote Link to post
SONOFSOIL 215 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Breeding from pure greys is the lowest standards in lurcher breeding imo, dont know why lads still do it, can just about understand if its proven in the field but track mutts no way, worker to worker, it aint rocket science. 1 Quote Link to post

My opinion is get it out ferreting young so it gets a few knocks before it gets too fast. They are heart in mouth dogs but they do learn. Don't know about a first cross but mine has no problems with it's feet. I think that's a very good point & something I would totally agree on . 2 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 3,822 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just now, toolebox said: I think that's a very good point & something I would totally agree on . Because I mainly ferret I take my pups along as soon as they can follow, it's never put one off missing them. If I was doing as much as you do I'd probably go for a sturdier type instead of straight running dogs. 1 Quote Link to post
