Thanks all. I once went to a Plummer kennels to buy a plummer. When I chatted to the owner Brian Plummer inevitably came up and its seems that they took a lot of his stock of Plummers New Blood I think because that is what I bought but thats another story. They also had a lot of his Lurchers. They told me that the only type of Lurcher Plummer would entertain was a straight Collie Greyhound Cross. That was the story I got. I wish I had scrapped the idea off the Plummer and got a Lurcher from the way things turned out Anyway what is your thoughts on his Collie Greyhound cross Apparently he was an odd king of fella Brian.

You can say that again.

I have read a few of his books I was given a couple. Odd or not very good read. I particularly enjoyed the one about the Pitt Dog the name of the book escapes me.

He pushed them, but kept lurcher X lurchers himself...

There is good and bad collie grey's, just like any other cross

Or if u want something that will do what a bull x will do but better go for a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie

If you want a decent ratching about lurcher,a bit of ferreting,lamping ,general mooching about and doing what a proper lurcher was intended for then the last thing on the pedigree would be bull infusion,over bred,over priced,over exaggerated and over indulged by nuggets.The decent bred,owned and worked uns have little in common with rodent hunting,feather plucking, lurcher owners.

Don't think there is a ideal cross to be fair. We all got are preferred types it's not just the breed it's what you put into it. When I was a wee lad and was keen out with the dogs every day/night had average muts and caught loads. Now I am a old fecker and not so keen the results speak for themselves. As long as it is quick enough for what you want it to catch got the minarals to do the job and you can get on with it that's ideal for me lol

[forest of dean redneck 11,183]

How longs piece of string ?

What you hoping to catch edible or non edible ? 
methods is it mooching , lamping ferreting ? 
 Terrain your hunting on? 
 

everyone is going to suggest their favourite type of breeding , 

it pays to do your homework least now the internet’s available but you also got more bullsh*t to Wade through .
