Any help would be great best bet is to google german shepherd x greyhound puppies , there was litters back along at christmas time in newport and up in the valleys,but i think they might have been lurcher x shepherd.

stabba 10,745 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 When you say Alsationx do you mean Alsation or German Sheperd... coz when i was growing up they were two totally different breeds altogether... atb stabba Quote Link to post

Bigshrimp 5 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Knowing GSD quite well I would imagine they may lack some speed and turning ability for rabbits?? Is this the case? Also, depending on the GSD line bred to, you may get MANY dogs running back to you after encountering something which bites back......the temperament of this breed is so varied between lines. Don't get me wrong, from the right lines these dogs can be monsters and hard as rocks, but you have to make sure the right lines are used. Would love to see more pics as this is definitely a potential cross for this side of the world. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,284 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 the name alsation was given to the german shepard during the war, as evrything to do with germany was frowned upon so they named it after the region of alsas 3 Quote Link to post

cooper101 86 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 the name alsation was given to the german shepard during the war, as evrything to do with germany was frowned upon so they named it after the region of alsas exactly the story i was told about the breed!! wasnt there full rename at the time (alsas wolf dog) alsas was a little island that not many people new about so it was deemed a better name than german shepard during the war against germany!!
