Sounds like a handful you should get yourself a nice collie grey or something like that

There looks to be some big old feet on that dog. It don’t look the fastest type of animal but it certainly sounds like there is no shortage of brain there. I for 1 certainly look forward to hearing how it progresses.

I took a good bitch to a good dog I had heard about from a mate of mine once ,what looked very similar to your pup,heavy boned and a right lump of a dog same type of coat and head ,when I questioned the look of it I was told don’t let its looks fool you,it was an Airedale x greyhound x pit bull ,all the pups turned out to be demons at work,good luck with the pup,wf

Thanks Bird. Actually I was thinking of calling her Stumpy, cos her legs seem so short, but even at such a young age she has a surprising amount of 'blast off' speed: won't be long before she's catching the Airedale lurchers ... mind you, they're not exactly what you'd call fast. Also she's very focused and intent already. A very interesting pup indeed, and mouthy as hell with that sort of disdainful stare when she thinks you're not worthy. I'm having to up my game considerably in the training stakes: making things more fun than ever before.

Gee thanks: just what I needed to hear!

Certainly a strongly built pup!  Plenty of bone to grow into yet.

Oh, I love that: always wanted a Celtic war hound: they used to fight alongside the warriors, if we can believe what we read: I've read several novels about Boudicca, or Boadicea, depending on your preference, and it is said that that they prized their hounds above anything else.

If Jeff Burrell reads this your be his new best friend , he needs to outcross that 800 year old bloodlines

Definitely some of Mr Burrels Tumbler/Norfolk in there somewhere.

Fair amount of wheaton in that pup penny imo. Atvb with it

[ginger beard 4,652]

And it sounds like it has the wheaten in his too.

[Daniel cain 42,862]

Looks similar to a pup i bred.... 

Think he made 26/27 tts. Sire was sal/coll/grey x wheaton /grey back to welsh hound, dam was beddy bull grey. Your pups got that wheaton colour to it so probably a fair bit in it
