I've not had a tape on them to be honest but they'll be around 23".Lol how tall is the Wheaten?
Yeh, I'm going canny also mate.
-
yes very but I'm taking it mega slow. I'll try and get some better picks. He's already bigger than the young Wheaton.Strong pup mate,like the look of him.
Are you pleased with him so far?
Cheers

Fair play to her ,expect she paid good money to import her.
it wasn't cheep and to honest I had a few sleepless nights organising things but crystal said that she had never came across anything bred that way in the states. If there is one ounce of tallent in the bitch she will coaxe it out.

What's the one in Florida going to be doing GVC nice variety to hunt there.
It's not a hunting home unfortunately but it is a competition home with a very accomplished lady that trains malnois. She's gone off to be a dock diving dog. The lady she's gone to is a world champion and world record holder. She can't praise her enough for brains and willingness to please .

Looking well both of them. The bitch that went to Florida is coming on really nice too. I'm really pleased with all of the comments I've had back it's been well worth it so far. The blue dog is coming on nicely but he's such a lump I'm being very careful with him. He moves and thinks like a big collie but he's still that long in the body he looks like a sausage dog. I'll try and get some pictures up. The Wheaton litter are coming on nicely had a weekend with one of the dog pups out the litter and he didn't disappoint at all. Now if only this cattle dog bitch would break down I could have a few years with no pups and lots of work.

Sorry miss understood ???

. Who me.I can't work out whether your a peddler or a newbie who doesnt know what they want

that's the plan I'll be using the same line of coursing dog next lining then back to the Wheaton line. The pups from this litter are really game and racey but I'd like to see them a touch bigger in hieght.If they have fire and speed pop a bigger, coursy'er dog over (or under). Pups would hold theirs I'm betting

In the first pic he's a bout 5-6 years old. He's stands around the 24 mark. But getting him to stand still is like nailing blomonge to the ceiling. No there's no hikling blood in there. The one he's with the bitch on is over a year old now so he's 11 in that one. The bitch is out of his litter mate. This is her

This is a first cross to first cross collie greyhound/Wheaton greyhound. She was a really good allrounder lost through injury whilst working.
Just wondering I've never heard of a wheaton grey x collie grey but I suppose it's been done?
I can only speak as I find ,max is seven and still takes everything and anything and has been worked hard. No picking runs no putting the breaks on and I would still give anything to have him at 18 month old again. My Wheaton is harder but would never be able to hunt and catch anything near to the amount of stuff Max has. Granted not all collie crosses are the same but no two dogs are the same either. It's horses for coarses. I'd be looking for a dog that suits the owners temperament and needs.Call me what you want to mate but they are not good dogs, if you want a dog that's gunna take well to rabbits on the lamp and the odd fare enough get a collie cross but expect it to be knocked up for most of the winter months, do not have high hopes of it taking anything that bites back, if that's the kind of dog you think would suit your needs then by all mean give David a ring I'm sure he has pups available 24 hours of the day every day of the year haha

Totally agree and to be fair the lad has invited me out so he can do just that.I know a collie grey in Scotland that shys away from nothing and he's more collie than grey !!
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen !
I only believe what I see ! Seen a 3 legged dog work this weekend eye opener

That's exactly what your calling me. And I'm not selling it. This dog has been tried and tested For 5 years and never ever come up wanting. It's a bit of an insult to imply Ive done my dog up to something he's not. Drop me a line your more than welcome to see for your self.

You have a collie cross that's single handed on everything and anything, sorry I'm not buying it, not calling you a liar just don't believe it has been truly tested...

Here he is max. Farther to totes pup
I will keep up dates if all goes to plan pal and cheers am going to see if I can get a pic of the sire iam wanting to use he is a fine looking animal atbThank f**k people have crawled out the wood work from genuine experience.
Said it time n time again on here, iv seen a pure whippet stalk, and their like one of the keenest dogs u can get on a slip for rabbiting.
Was another guy on here with a whippet grey saluki grey lurcher, he said his quit on rabbits at 3.
There's big massive bull xs capable of killing horses that iv seen spew a fox...lol funny old site but not as funny as these experts.
Good luck Richie. If it fails, let me know I know a few collie x men that hunt fox regular if that's your thing. Atb

She's looking well tam. She's a dead ringer for a dog out the litter. Hope you and her are well

Just a thought gvc would it not be better to get where you want to be with the malinois cross, maybe line/inbreeding, before adding new blood? In no way a criticism just thinking that they maybe be a bit unpredictable on what you are getting and a few generations of the breeding may tell you more about what you have/want?
Yes I agree with you and your point is a valid one. I wouldn't rule that out in the future. But the reason we started on this venture with this cross was to out cross her with our collie cross dog. We hoped she would help with coat,size,length and gameness but essentially staying with the herding blood. All of these things are present in the bitch and after working her we are very pleased with her so far. We hope these good points will Pass on to the pups. But all this said until the pups have proven them selves and we are able to assess there work ethic and natures the next step is un known.
