It would depend on how there bred and what size they was going at attain, at a year most are fully grown, but have seen some of the larger bull x's take a little longer, having said this my deerhound bitch at just over a year old is now (fingers x) fully grown, but although fully grown her bones are still devoloping.

Deerhound/greyhounds are like that as they are slow growers compared to say whippet/greys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swampy 147 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Strange question ? Define "lurcher". What cross is it ? What percentage cross is it and what does the 'kin thing look like compared to the sire? I think someone else has already mentioned a string and its length. Let me know in 18months time Swampy ninging in my own time so not getting paid ! Damn the overtime ban Quote Link to post Share on other sites
para1 11 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Had a few whippet/greyhounds over the years mate very keen to know the hight and I found that they stoped growing upwards at 10 months.P1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacher3161 1,766 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I would say whippet lurchers have stopped growing at 10 months.I once had a f1x saluki/grey who was 26tts at 10 months and made 29tts at 18months.Then a f1x collie/grey bitch i had was 22tts at 6 months and did not get any taller but she came in season at 7 an half months old.atb dell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
