Clip 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't think it really works like that does it???? I always thought that you could know what went into the breeding but exact % is just nonsense. Genes aren't distributed evenly are they? Surely not? Clip Quote Link to post
spep21 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 3/16 13/16. Although it could be any shape or size mate Quote Link to post

cocker 2,655 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 3-16ths bull, 13-16ths greyhound, Quote Link to post
tia.kins 56 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Not really accurate to just say about this and about that......some folk may agrue that the difference ..."makes the difference" Fact = the pups will be 3/16 Bull, 13/16 Greyhound on paper. Thats 18.75 percent Bull, the rest greyhound seeing as you want percentages. Most apprecaite that a mixed mating like this can vary how the pups will throw, although with these odds, i would say racy .....so have you done the mating and was this what you expected from the litter????.........I hope so as its a bit late otherwise !
