    So very true, the english translation is not that accurate. They are not "only" pointers, here in Germany they are called "Deutsch Drahthaar" which is a description of their coat, and means german rough coat. And over here they are used and "advertised" as a versatile all purpose hunting dog. I read an article once about the origin of the Drahthaar, the article stated that when they decided on a standard for the breed they decided that only liver and white and liver and tic was acceptable. Any black and white pups were PTS. However the jeagers working in the forestry in Munster asked if

    Do these offer more than the normal husky type then? It depends on the race actually. The pedigree siberian husky or malamute is not used in competitive sleddog racing anymore. For the long distance races, like Iditarod or Yukon Quest, alaskan hounds/huskys rule the pack. Which are a crossbred themselves and most "mushers" have their own recipes (mixes of hounds, huskys and so on). But for the short races(this ranges from 5 km to approximatly 200 km) and 1 to 6 dog classes and bike/scooter/ski jöring the hound types (crosses between greyhound and pointer and the offspring

    Hi, Greyhound/Pointer crosses are tried and tested in the sleddogsport scene. There they are called greyster or eurohound. But in this sport stamina is more needed than pure speed, therefore the 3/4 pointer 1/4 greyhound or even 7/8 pointer 1/8 greyhound are more popular. half breeds are mostly limited to the sprint races 5 km to max 10 km. but nonetheless here are some pictures of 50% greyhound 50% pointer dogs from the site of lena boysen hillestad. She is a very competitive and succesful athlete. http://www.boysen-hillestad.com/21519928

    Some nice photos! Cheers, MagyarAgar

    Thats really a nice looking pup! Cheers, MagyarAgar

    In the makeup of the Eurohound are certainly Greyhounds and various other hound breeds. Have a look at this page(scroll down) http://www.steelhead.de/html/gth-story.html These are German Trail Hounds very similar to Eurohounds. Cheers, MagyarAgar

    really a fine looking animal!

    actuallly i am from germany. Hunting with Sighthounds is not allowed in Germany. Hunting in general is under restriction. You need a license and it is pretty expensive. It is a shame because in most areas I have been too there are plenty of rabbits. So bottom line is dont get caught, because it can be really expensive! The Rules are very different from "bundesland" to "bundesland" and even from City to City...

    good read, thanks.
  11. MagyarAgar
    really good looking! Would you mind if I ask how big she is and how much she weighs? Cheers, MagyarAgar
  12. MagyarAgar
    Thats a great looking dog! Credit to you. Cheers, Magyar Agar

    That is really, really a good looking dog! Saw a lab x grey over here in Germany and it looked really similar. Cheers, MagyarAgar

    Yeah you are right. read the wikipedia article. This one is quite good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis Most of the inter species matings are not possible, those matings often dont have hybrid vigour. A dingo is a subspecies and of some people even this is doubtful. So it is no problem to mate dingo x dog. And yes you would have hybrid vigour.
  15. MagyarAgar
    Yeah but you have the healthiest stock when it has high percentage of heterozygous allels. And what I was trying to say is that line- and inbreeding elevate the level homozygosity and hence lower overall fitness. Have a look into modern stock breeding. They have many hybridbreeds. There are also efforts for trying to find lost allels and revive them with outcrossing and so on. They also do genetic screenings to find the best mating partners. In dog breeding we are milenia behind stockbreeding! Cheers, MagyarAgar

    - Never ever will this be the case. Good and Bad Genes will get passed on roughly in the same percentage. You never can control which gene gets passed on when you breed. There is genetic recombination, point mutation, genetic drift and so on. - line breeding and inbreeding decrease the genetical variance, which means you get more homozygous Allels. Which is often seen as strengthen a type or line. BUT the problem is you dont want homzygous dogs. Because most health defects appear when the are homozygous in a gene, because they are recessive. - genetical variance (also called bein

    By the way how tall is she? Cheers, MagyarAgar
  18. MagyarAgar
    Thats a fine looking bitch you have there! If you ever breed of here let me know. Cheers, MagyarAgar
  19. MagyarAgar
    stunning! Really a fine specimen! Cheers, MagyarAgar
  20. MagyarAgar
    Credit to you. Is she a Kelpie grey first x? Cheers, MagyarAgar
  21. MagyarAgar
    amazing looking dog! Cheers, MagyarAgar
  22. MagyarAgar
    nice weather
  23. MagyarAgar
    Absolutly stunning! Really good looking dog in top condition ATB, MagyarAgar

    It is the same gene defect. These animals are myostatin deficient. There is a study of whippets were they showed that race champions have often the allele configuration of normal/deficient. The normal/deficient type of whippets is more muscular then normal/normal. I think this pic is from the study: Cheers Magyar Agar

    Really a nice dog!
