Correct me if i'm wrong lads but my reckoning is that this pup is 4/8 greyhound 2/8 bull 1/8 whippet 1/8 staff higgins Correct. I you divide everything into the single, you get 8 parts. So then add the different parts together. Edited October 1, 2010 by Ossie'n'Arch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

romany52 313 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's all hypothetical anyway, a first cross is 50/50 after that, because genes are past randomly, you'll never know what percentage of anything is in the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So then add the different parts together. Right then, a bit more time now. The Dam is, 1 part Whippet, 1 part Staffy, 1 part Bull and 1 part Grey. So 4 single parts. This is assuming that the Staff and the Bull in the mix are different dogs. The Sire is, 1 part Bull and 3 parts Grey, so again 4 parts. Now just add the same parts together, 4/8th Grey = 1/2 or 50% 2/8th Bull = 1/4 or 25% 1/8th Staffy = 1/8 or 12.5% 1/8th Whippet = 1/8 or 12.5% If you cross your Dog again, the division will be by 16ths or 6.25% If you do, i'll need help with that sum. Thats just the Maths, as someone else has pointed out it doesn't all come out like that. hope that helps, Arch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on. After first crosses, I personally think your better choosing your lining by the eye rather than on paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's not a mongrel if you know what's in it! A mongrel is a dog of unknown origin, Like TopNotch . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
