    deèrhound xs are not vectra estates ...... there more like a pair of hi tech trainers , no c**t really wants them but just cant afford anything better :laugh: I wasn't using a metaphor. I mean I actually went out and got a vectra estate after looking at land rovers But you are right about deerhound crosses. Absolute pish the lot of them. the lot of them, shows your a thick c**t doesn't it Lol, I take it you like deerhound x's then. I think gaz was joking

    Hmmmm I know an indie bitch from wales, no saluki and a VERY good dog on everything, including fair law, might not be be what others are thinking though

    Matt101, I had a 5 month old pup with same injury last year and as northernlite and oddser have said, it's a badun. I saw 3 different vets and after x-rays etc they all said same thing, 4 - 6 weeks total kennel rest and only out garden on lead for toilet, and then the physio and gradual exercise etc, and then if everything went right he'd still probably not make an athlete ( their words) or working dog. Poor f***ker was going downhill mentally, not nice. And as bracken boy just said, there's a tremendous amount of pressure when twisting etc at speed on all the joints, ligaments etc. Anyway go

    That makes a lot of sense

    Think it's the same with most keen dogs gaf, when they see something and they aint slipped on it, and some greys aint exactly quiet in the traps either

    I had a Whippet X Grey bred by Carl Williams, always ran silent 'Bow' the sire?

    As others have said, don't start it too young, and don't give it difficult slips, i.e rabbit too close to cover, too far away for pup to gain ground on it etc, and get it out on it's own. I know others sometimes allow pups to watch an older dog run, but I've seen that have the opposite effect on a pup, and it normally winds the fuckers up, unnecessary hassle!

    My old mate's beddy x's never opened up, ever, hunted up like cnuts on the lamp lol, but never opened up! Worse dog for opening up I've seen was a bull/grey x collie/grey. And the only whippet I've heard opening up was one of carl williams' dogs many years ago. Edited to add Sorry, it wasn't the only whippet I'd heard opening up, it was the first

    Or boys and girls, what's wrong with sire, dam, dog bitch?!

    Haha...She walks at my side with a slack lead with a harness on... pulls like a train using her collar...... Had a staff do exactly the same years ago I''ve never used a harness before... A friend recommend I try it to see if she would pull less.. and it worked a treat! She's pretty good off the lead, runs flat out for a little while then walks slightly out front of me.... She definitely hasn't been blessed with the graceful run of a whip/grey, she's very gangly and heavy footed haha She'll grow out of the gangly heavy footed stuff, well certainly the gangly stage

    Could be worse, the dog looks comfortable and well cared for, not like some of the horror stories we've seen on here recently! By the way, I know you're not having a dig tb25

    Certainly doesn't look a bull x, so that's a +. Nice pup . Does look collie/whip/grey, at 19" and 6 months now, I'd say she end up 22"-23"

    Socks, a little off topic, sort of, but do your parents still have that sloughi, and how is he shaping up? was a very nice pup that He is coming on nicely mate ... He is just over a year old and 29 inches and 70lbs ... He is a f****r for cats and kills them for fun ...,he has had a few rabbits but hasn't run anything else yet ... To be honest he has only just started to run properly and not like a gangly young giraffe ..... Cracker

    what a load of cack, you must have poor standards then, speed is always needed at some time, so is obedience and the 3 I've seen were brought up by decent dog men, the odd dog may make it but unless you've bought and raised one off him then why comment ???Not cack, and where have I mentoined speed, trainability etc? I've never owned a beddy x either. BUT, I know my own ability to raise and train and make a reasonable worker out of a dog that hasn't got 20 generations of workers behind it.speed is something that's missing in a first cross and brains when there is only beddy and greyhound in the

    Was thinking something similar. I know some collies can be a bit sensitive, weird even, but there are plenty that can be absolute raging fiends and are afraid of nothing and have guts/aggression aplenty. And a trip to some of the farms in my area to have a look at a few of these dogs would very quickly dispel any thoughts about them being soft etc. Soft?!

    I've never bought a pup from a commercial breeder, but if I did it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they bred ten or a hundred litters a year. Once I got that pup home, it'd be raised the same as all my pups, and WOULD make a reasonable worker
