whin 463 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 got a black bitch simlair to the one you have loks wise bred diffrent ,a bit greyhoundy for me , but decent bitch all the same , whats the wind like with the greyhoundy bitch you bred , as i found some greyhoundy dogs ive had lacking in a good recovery on big runs Quote Link to post
Keeps 403 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) She's very fast Whin (faster than her 1/4 beardie 3/4 greyhound sire), and very small for a deerhound type (23"), she can turn on a sixpence. Shes still quite young so I wouldnt yet want to comment on her stamina just yet, hopefully by the end of the season I'll have more idea but her mother has excellent stamina, she runs on some difficult ground for long distances, so I'm hoping she'll have inherited this. As far as being greyhoundy, well I think that just shows through because she's smooth coated, her dam is just as racy underneath all that hair.. Shes fit as a lop and raring to go this season, looking forward to it Edited September 1, 2011 by Keeps Quote Link to post
