Sorley x 32 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 After the initial cross it means very little because the actual allocation of genes is random. In the 1/4 bull grey he may get all grey dna and no bull. Quote Link to post
resistance 189 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yea had a feeling it would be hard to say what genetics would do what just going by instinct of charecter and past parents on the bull side.its clear to see already what pups are more bully than others the more grayhoundy pups have a difrent coat n body structure to the others get a better decision on them when thare 8 to 10 weeks.cheers for your input lads Quote Link to post
bird 9,594 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 After the initial cross it means very little because the actual allocation of genes is random. In the 1/4 bull grey he may get all grey dna and no bull. when you go away from 1x 4/8 to 4/8 , you not really going to know what gene will be the dominate. And even with a 1x you could have a dog that say was colliexgrey, that looked to have alot of collie come through, yet have near enough not much better wind of the greyhound, meaning picked up the stamina from the greyhound , or bullxgrey might get dog looks very much bully, but have the tenacity of the grey and not the bull what you wanted in the 1st place..? Genes are funny things nothing guarantee, but more chance with 1x genes coming through . Quote Link to post
