weasle 1,119 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 A lad on here had a 1st cross Airedale/Grey, that i saw at work, we were out all day in some shit weather, and we got thoroughly soaked and bloody cold, the dog with it`s inherited Airedale coat was fine,!!! It was a useful dog to have around on a dig too, sadly he does`nt have the dog anymore I have been lucky enough to get one of Skycats pups, A 1st cross Airedale, right now she is only 11 weeks old but i`me impressed, Already she has sussed Sit, Stay, retreiving is coming on great and no problems walking on a lead, She has endless energy and is happily destroying my lawn as i type, She will have two good mentors in my Bull crosses so fingers crossed.... Like you say deerhound hunter yours on has a dash of Airedale but from what i`ve seen of this cross it should`nt bring anything detrimental to your pup... Mars.. The coat is a double edged sword though,i was watching a half cross run the weekend,first night was cool,but the second although windy was mild,and the dog was getting warm.I would say that unless you were in a very cold part of the country,the coat would be a disadvantage,most of the time. I tend to agree to some extent with you weasle,.... Though that could be said of almost any breed, My own Now ageing Bull X will seek out a pond or stream when out lamping some nights, So I.M.O. not just a problem for rough coated breeds... Of course,but if a smooth coat and heavy rough coat are run together,you do see the differance,I like the broken coats,but i do think a good short coat makes more sense.I have also seen half cross with short coats.

devonvale 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 he has a look of his father, and grandfather, i should have some pics of cob somewhere, i will post them if i can find it on memory card, i would take everything that blue staffy has to say about him as the truth, I know the owner and the guy that had cob originaly and both are 100% genuine, theres not much blue staffy doesnt know about this line, In my honest opinion it was one of the most honest and trustworthy dog i have ever had the pleasure of seeing working, if your pup turns out to be half the dog his father was you are in for alot of fun, GOOD LUCK with your pup DV Quote Link to post
Guest deerhound hunter Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) cheers dv i keep here good thing about cob ,just a pity that he was only pup that survived out of my litter,i.m glad i,ve the opporutity to see the dog in the flesh and actually take a pup from the big guy,if any of yous lads up their every want a free stud of my pup in the future i would be honed ,if the pup makes the grade ,so the lines are not gone,unless their lines are still up their,my bitch is quite a handy bitch she is a bull x deerhound grey ,racey type bull ,very steady dog, Edited October 12, 2010 by deerhound hunter Quote Link to post
