    Older bitch we have is exactly the same, apart from being possessive,also now getting a tad more aggressive with the younger dog, he's coming up to 11 months. I know that's down to her being a very dominant bitch though, she was from a litter of 9, all bitches, and by f**k, she is a very dominant bitch. Very intelligent and fairly easy to train basic stuff, but you've got to be on your toes all the time with her, otherwise she'd be bossing you. It certainly isn't easy, but like you say, she has 'many' positives as regards work/hunting

    Lol, seriously gaf, though they're not my type of dog, there's no getting away from the fact that they are cracking well reared pups, little belters
  5. shaaark
    They look like they're going to be too tall, and those feet, MILES too big! lol, belting pups

    H M, did you have that dog before the ban, or was he ok on rabbits as well as other quarry?

    Satan, when she's approaching 2 years of age and strengthening up, is when you'll really start to see her developing even more 'serious speed' lol. She should learn how to control her turning and her speed the more experience she gets. I'll get my lad to pm some pics of our bitch to you. Despite being almost 29" tts, she doesn't struggle picking up rabbits lol cheers mate, if she gets any faster she'll never be able to stop when she gets going, nearly ko'd me going at full pelt the other day She's got no problem getting low and picking up, so yeah hopefully the turning will get bet

    People say that a lot but the sire could of been the smallest dog in the litter with his brothers making 27"-28". And the Dam could of easily had 26" brothers. So 27" would be far from impossible. Just saying. Anything could happen. Lol. All the best. Looks a nice type. Was thinking the same gaz, but didn't want to risk another slating! . Don't know if I'm getting more sensitive with age, or reading too much into things lately ............ , still fancy a 1st x whip/deer though I hope you find one mate. Would look forward to seeing how they turn out. Conformation and work wise.

    Our bitch, same type as yours satan, stopped growing in height at 13 months, just under 29." Sire 1st x collie/grey 25", dam 1st x deer/grey 26.5". I like the pic you put up the other week of your bitch, looks to have turned out very nice

    I agree Gaz. That way you end up with plenty of greyhound blood, which is where the speed that Tomo's bitch had came from. I get what people are saying, and I know whip/grey x deer/greys are a very good type, but was just thinking about a 1st x whip/deer, and again, as I've said, just thinking
  14. shaaark
    23" whippet x 26" deerhound? So what you are really taking about is a whip/grey over a deer/grey? Which is just a smaller deerhound based lurcher in my eyes? Apologies if I'm wrong... Lol you know what I mean, a big whippet put to a smallish deerhound. Anyway, as has been said, it's getting a bit complicated now, lurcher to lurcher, the way forward lol. Just a thought, no ill feeling or malice aimed at anyone in particular
  15. shaaark
    Yeah I understand that, but there'd be less chance of throwing all sizes if it was a 1st x, just whippet sire and deerhound dam,. I get what you're, and H M, is saying if there was whippet on both sides somewhere along the line, anyway, just thinking
  16. shaaark
    H M, it's not pipe dreams, or that I mind being disagreed with, just more thoughts on what I think could be a good type of dog. And with you saying 'don't get me started with breeding two extremes', well I don't get it, like I said, plenty of people been breeding whippet/salukis over the years, and that's as much an extreme, or even more so, as whipet/deerhound. I'm not suggesing to put an 18" whippet over a 30" deerhound, but a good strong 22-23""ish whippet from a line known for size over a smaller type deerhound bitch of about 26"-28" from a working bred line that doesn't produce the huge
  17. shaaark
    Go on then H M, start, as you're so up on all things lurcher, DEER/GREY mid-distance x WHIP/GREY sprint, what's the point? Or saluki/grey x whip/grey, same thing really, tell me what's the point
  18. shaaark
    Yes, but there are quite a few whippet x salukis being bred, same thing, extremes, so why breed them? I'd much rather have a whip/deer than a whip/saluki
  19. shaaark
    Lol, might do that once I get back into it all properly, but yeah, I get what you're saying

    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
  21. shaaark
    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
  22. shaaark
    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
  23. shaaark
    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
  24. shaaark
    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
