Lurcher Pup Unknown Mixture

[RoryHa 0]

Hi guys,

 

I was hoping that someone in here might be able to identify the mixture/offer an opinion of this wee girl (not the whippet of course!) I got a few months ago from a pound down in the republic. She is a little over 6 months old now, 15kg and about 21" tts. I am thinking part saluki at least, but my curiousity is still unsatisfied!

 

Thanks for reading

Thanks for the feedback gents. How would you figure greyhound into the mix? Just that sal/col/grey is a common trio, or is there something in the appearance I'm missing?

[Mickeydemouse 112]

Looks to be merle for the collie Saluki face/ears and greyhounds just for height of him there could be whippet in there too maybe not

If they mixed bred it usually needs generation breeding of a type to see the traits come through ,but a happy jukel with lots a diversity ,usually means a level headed animal that one can have lots a good times.atb bunnys.

I wouldn't worry to much what's in her buddy she looks like a nice healthy pup just enjoy I'm sure you will have some fun together but I would say saluki in there

I agree with this. She's a tall lurcher at the end of the day and will hopefully be involved in many hunting trips with you in the future.

 

If you want a scientific answer then a DNA test is the way forward

Brindle, not merle. And the reason people say she is Saluki and Greyhound is because that is the way 99% of these dogs are bred. Greyhound for speed, Saluki for stamina, bred for hares. That's not to say there's nothing else in her but personally I don't see any Collie at all. There could be any number of different breeds in her, but she is definitely predominantly Saluki and Greyhound. Very similar to some of the dogs I've had over the years.

the only thing in it that you need to concern yourself about is its grub. Feed it well, let it live in your shadow. Get in out in the field and enjoy yourselves.
