Deer/grey bitch pups, two weeks old;

Very even, so I'll wait a few weeks before choosing one.

This one has a slightly bigger head, but they'll change over the weeks.

Cheers.

Now, I think you know what you're doing charts, but these'll be too big, too slow, won't have enough drive, no agility, and will take too long to mature before you can start working em.  Do you really think you're making the right decision?

Well, they're already the right colour.  Might be pretty useful? Lol.

Little crackers there charts, good luck with the pup you choose.

The sire works, the dam was brought over from Ireland. She's sired by Mafi Majik and has done a bit of coursing herself.

Is this another kind of nostalgic thing ? Where deer hound xs are as good as anything that’s got a chunk of grey and reared right? But no better ? Don’t see anyone running them much now and the ‘great’ ones are all long dead and just memories. 

Its called romancing mate lol

First lurcher I bought with my own money, dam was deer/grey x collie/grey 24 1/2", sire was beddy/grey x bull/whippet 21"

My bitch made 21" tts, and wasn't particulary fast, or particularly intelligent lol.  A lovely looking bitch, but that was about it lol.

I don't like them any more than other crosses and pures.

Ive had more Saluki, pure and cross, and whippets, than deer hound types.

I like Beddy crosses aswell.  I just like a dog where the breeding takes my eye, and will it do for the quarry and land I'm more likely to encounter ?

Cheers.
