Phil with my own interest at what height tts were these two dogs?(first crosses)

Hi,..the bitch on the left was around  26" at the shoulder and her son, on the left , made around 28"...

 The bitch came from a first cross Greyhound/Deerhound, which had been mated to a Collie /Greyhound Sire 

However, to produce her son, I used her uncle, a genuine first cross Greyhound /Deerhound, over her.

So, both had some small amount of sheepdog blood in them,...which I personally found to be, no bad thing at all...?

Bred several litters in the 1980s/1990s,..we worked them most nights,... Straight cross twixt Ardkinglas Deerhound and Irish Coursing Greyhounds.. The next cross,  back to the Greyhound was

he looks a happy chap

It's right to remember good old times, and good old boys... I have travelled, all the way up one side of Scotland, and come back down the other...  As you know, nothing much beats the place

I'd take a bitch of that breeding ;)

Saw Dave Platts at a localish country fair the other week, and he had that dog "finnegan" with him.... Lovely looking animal when I ran my hands over him, while Platts was in conversation ?but just too big and heavy for my liking. In agreement with Tomo... 3/4 bred would IMHO a better choice
