  1. Lol picking up my 1st pcp tuesday. Was originally getting a HW80 K, but after shooting my mate's HW80 K, and then trying a few more, including the 97, decided that although superbly built etc, they are just a tad too heavy, I'm not getting any younger lol. And the rifle I'm picking up tuesday feels superb to shoulder/handle and the weight scoped up is perfect for me. Good luck with with your choice lee, whatever you decide on
  2. Old technology!? Lee, there's more than a few lads on here that would give you a 'friendly' slap for coming out with such blasphemy! lol
  3. Yeah I agree with what you say buster, and I could get a 3/4 grey/deer pretty quickly, great dogs, and there have been a few whippet x deer/greys bred the last few years too. I'm not in any particular rush for a pup of any type really, as we have a couple of seasons left in the bitch we have here, plus my son's got a nice dog he'll be starting this season. It's just that I really fancy a 1st x whippet/deerhound. Anyway, thanks to everyone that replied
  4. Just to clarify, I'm not being awkward, just using a bit of common sense. After all when a 16-17" bedlington gets mated to a 26-27" greyhound, you get get dogs which end up midway in size. Can't see the difference in any other 1st x type with a big height difference
  5. The ones I saw at Alan Charles' I remember as being fairly level. I'd think they could vary a bit though. I don't really go along with the theory of a lot of size range, one or two maybe at the extreme ends, but in the main I think you'd get more that were sort of in the middle of both parents, bitches around 24"ish, dogs around 26". Would be great to hear from people that have bred this cross and kept in touch with who the pups were placed with
  6. Shaaark even if you don't get eny thing once you do get out on the hunt put a post up of your outing as other members will learn off you even if you think its not worth putting up get it up if nothing els we will get a laugh but don't take it to heart we have all been laugh,t at at some point and had the mick taking out of us even me O and little hunter was well chuffed atvbmac :thumbs: Will do lol a t b
  7. What size did it make tomo, or do you not know?
  8. Lol yeah you're right there mate lol, never mind, still got a couple of years out of the bitch we've got while I'm waiting
  9. My thoughts exactly. i,v said this on here before, i,d like this cross before iam too old. Yeah same here
  10. I was typing as you posted bunnys lol, yeah I think you would get some useful pups with good coats etc
  11. Yeah roy, 1st x is what I mean, not whippet on both sides or whatever, and also what you say about wastage, I think we're on the same wavelength. If someone had a litter by say a 22" whippet dog out of say a 28" deerhound bitch, and both were sound useful workers, I'd be on my travels to look at the pups
  12. Simple really gaz, I like whippets and I like deerhounds, and I think a pup bred from the right parents, sizewise, would prove very useful. After all whip/greys have been around for years, and I think whip/deer would give the pups a better coat, and also good feet, plus both breeds have sound temperaments. And with only two breeds in the mix, I would've thought size would be a bit easier to predict, or rather, give you more even sized pups
  13. Just read it again lol, I get you now, 21 weeks 21"
  14. As others have said, I've been popping into this section off and on for a while now, but as of yet I've got nothing worthwhile to post, hopefully that'll be changing after tuesday. Just got to say this section is far more helpful to newcomers and those with not much experience, with members giving advice, tips etc on all aspects of air rifling, from technical advice right through to hunting, well impressed, top bunch of guys, and girls, from members to those that run this section, oh yeah, well done to the youngun! lol. bet he was chuffed to bits
  15. Looks good that mate, I'm about to pick up a new gun with a walnut stock this tuesday, and that looks to have a good finish and colour to it
  16. Anyone know of someone that works or owns this type? I would think a big whippet dog put to a fairly smallish deerhound bitch should throw some good pups. Just whippet and deerhound, no greyhound
  17. Thanks drifter they very alike alright younger lad bit more saluki looking Both nice dogs, how much saluki in them?
  18. From those pics gaf, you can tell that they're going to be too tall and their feet will be too big! lol, they all look fecking sound to me
  19. As long as a bull/grey x saluki/grey is tall! lol
  20. Bazil, did you not mean an inch a month? And teddog, my earlier comment was tongue in cheek, as someone else pointed out, without knowing the height of both parents it's pretty hard to estimate what height any lurcher pup 'might' make
  21. sheep shagging comedein. Could be worse, I could be a sheep shagging homo , no offence meant, just been one of those days, 25"ish sounds about right
  22. Haven't got the foggiest , 33" tts at a guess?
  23. Looks a strong dog trig, is he 3/4 grey, and how tall?
  24. Ours is collie/grey x deer/grey, and just checked my diaries, 5 months 25", 8 months 26 1/2, 10 months 27 1/2 and 13 months when she finished growing in height, a shade under 29". Again, as has probably been said, all pups grow at different rates and some, even from same litter, keep growing for a little while longer than some of their siblings, so yours could possibly grow on til 12-13 months
