Understanding What % of cross is in my Lurcher

[shushyjukal 41]

It sounds daft but I've never totally understood how to work out what % of cross is in my Lurcher. Her mom was a bull/grey and the dad was a beddlington/whippet so how do I work it out please. Might be a simple question but can't get my head round it.

Also what would be a good dog to pair her with for some nice pups not too big and what % would the pups be?

 

Sorry for being thick but just need it explaining! Cheers.

depends on the % in the bull/grey and the beddlington/whippet if they where 1st cross on both sides you should have 1/4 bull 1/4 grey 1/4 beddlington 1/4 whippet could be wrong

If your bitch's parents were first crosses then she'd be 1/4 bull, 1/4 grey, 1/4 bedlington and 1/4 whippet and 1/4 = 25%.

IF both parents were 1stX yours would be 1/4 bull 1/4 grey X 1/4 beddy 1/4 whippet

I agree with the % on paper, thing is its a hit or miss how the going turn out looking or size and working.

[shushyjukal 41]

Haha I recon Its the first Time you have agreed on anything! Thanks for the replies and I understand it now.

Still not sure what to put her to though. Any ideas?

not all the litter will have turned out that way just percentage of the litter ,so that is rough guess ,i bred some bull / deerhound s 3 year ago ,4 pups came deerhound type[rough]and 1 came out smooth [bull] type,so the way it is,

It actually doesn't work like that. Each pup is a different 'percentage' and even if they all look the same, there are variations in the temperament, intellect etc. Sorry guys, it is just a myth. Each time there is a cross the dog is a new animal, not a per cent of this or that...

 

Cheers.

Either a greyhound or whippet to level them out,greyhound for bigger size etc,
