Wales1234 5,424 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 My two , ones a pure pointer and there others 1/4 pointer with collie and grey in there the pure pointer is probably one the best finding dogs Iv ever seen , had to learn to just when she’s found scent to give her time to work it out , Iv seen her turn a few on open ground which I didn’t think would happen , im tempted to put a pure pointer on the lurcher would roughly be 3/8 5/8 reverse cross just might be the ticket , something thst doesn’t quite look like a lurcher but have a little bit of pace 11 Quote Link to post

moonlighter 1,160 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I know a guy who does this. He’s got a beddy/grey x bull/grey. He’s has great results too. I think he said the furthest his dog had gone and killed was a mile away. He’s uses a garmin collar. Quote Link to post
