dustyj 63 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm just curious to what percentage my lurcher pup is. Parents were 3/4 whippet 1/8 collie 1/8 greyhound x 3/4 greyhound 1/4 labrador. Iknow theirs an 1/8 lab and 1/16 collie but unsure of the whippet and greyhound in mix apart from just over 3/4 running dog.I'm usually clued up on this but it's a bit of a tricky one thanks if anybodycan help.

Neal 1,808 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I think it's 3/8 whippet 7/16 greyhound or, to put it another way... 6/16 whippet, 7/16 greyhound, 2/16 Labrador, 1/16 collie or (as I'm sure somebody else will point out)...16/16 lurcher! Good luck and enjoy it, whatever the proportions. Edited to add...Poo...s.e.s.k.u. beat me to it! Edited February 4, 2015 by Neal 2 Quote Link to post

white van man 3,192 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Chid21 is the one to ask mate. There was a thread not so long back and he was working them out. He also sent % of mine. I only asked because people were asking me how much saluki and collie was in my pup! Quote Link to post
dustyj 63 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Cheers mate.that's it when somebody says what's in your dog you can tell them what's in it. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,172 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Percentages don't matter, it's how the dog has inherited particular genes that count. With a bit of luck you'll have a decent brain, a good retrieve, a fair bit of pace in a Greyhoundy body. BUT, you could end up with a Labrador body, a Greyhound brain ... just kidding 3 Quote Link to post
dustyj 63 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 ??haha.labrador body.yeah that's hopefully what will come of the dog inheriting a bit of brain a good retrieve etc both parents do so fingers crossed Quote Link to post
bomber1958 1 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I know were your coming from mate its nice to know its also nice that you can tell someone when they ask tou about the breeding. Quote Link to post
bomber1958 1 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Think also apart from the breeding its alot to do with what you put into it. Quote Link to post

bomber1958 1 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Mate i never found getting a pup to rerieve a big deal some pups pick it up quicker than others. Try it round the park with a stick or a ball make it second nature for ur dog to bring it back.dont over do it let it be a pup.i had a 3quater greyhound quater collie handcock bitch pup had it retrieving from 12 weeks old.
