pack of dogs 34 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I would say it depends on the make up of the lurcher,one with alot of greyhound or deerhound blood would take alot longer to mature than one with whippet blood in,IMO whippets/whippet crosses 9-12months,greyhounds/greyhound crosses and deerhound crosses 12-18months Just my oponion but i think this is a big reason alot of dogs jack,due to been entered to early Edited January 28, 2009 by pack of dogs Quote Link to post
Ginny Spinner 455 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bitches 12 months and Dogs 14 Months. This is the way i do it, but all dog's are different others may be ready sooner some longer. Cheers Quote Link to post
