ghostie 76 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Just recently found out that my 8 and 1/2 month pups mum wasn't Collie x beddy x grey but actually Wheaten x grey x wheaten x whippet! The breeder of my pup has only recently found out his bitches actual breeding, but I am not surprised as my pup does look very much like a wheaten, in his coat etc. The dad is pure Saluki. What do people make of Wheaten crosses? Here's a couple of pics, he is 24in tts: He looks Saluki here Looks Wheaten here: Edited March 17, 2013 by ghostie 1 Quote Link to post

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Not the breeding he was supposed to be??? Never hear of that one before - - you could sit all day long and come up with all kinds of permutations and percentage breakdowns - and all you'll ever be able to guarantee is that it's a lurcher!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Borderscot is dead right, whats in it is really irrelevant now, we live in a world obsessed with 'fractions', your youngster looks like it certainly has a gallop in it, handy type, concentrate on making the most of it and enjoy!!

George (the ferret boy) 15 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I bet nearly all lurchers ain't just what the breeder thinks they've all probably got something else in them Quote Link to post
