Talk:Greyster

What is it?
I see that the article is just started, but I think the definition is too vague for an article. Sled dog racers do talk about "Greysters" but they always seem to mean something different. The way this article starts seems to imply regular breeding to produce a breed (for sale to the insatiable rare breed pet market?) instead of the carefully organised and documented crossbreeding through multiple generations done by breeders of the Eurohound/Scandinavian Hound to produce an exact type of running dog.

I looked online and only found blogs and forums, and they all speak of it differently. A forum mention of a dog "that the Czechs call Greyster, mostly GSP with a bit of English Pointer and a bit of Greyhound" and another site that refers to Greysters as a name used by sled dog racers for the English Pointer. Another says Pulka racers crossed Vorshters (Scandinavian pointers used for racing) with Greyhounds to produce a Greyster, "good limited class dog suitable for breeding back to the more traditional Pointer crosses". etc.

Unless there is good info in books or magazines it probably shouldn't be an article here, as the definition is too vague.--Hafwyn (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
