he aint everr gonna be a whippet mate, tho dog is still young, more often he gets oot, quicker itll come

 

but ye best stop expecting that dog there to be a runnin machine

Well I mean come on FFS. Its not rocket science.

 

Its a big f**k off lump of a pup, its no athlete.

 

Im aswell not sugar coating it. It will not be a fast dog unless it shapes up rapidly in its growth.

Hes still got a bit of knuckle there. Probably good for another couple of inches anyway.

Im sure when you took on this cross, whatever, you had a fair idea of the quarry you will be using it for.

 

ATB with it anyway

i think sume bull crosses can run sume cant.i had dog sume years back and when he ran its like he swang hes back legs out to the right.he did get faster when he became a adult dog but hes way of running was still much the same.he became a good fox dog but no good for deer never had the speed.its all most like sume bull crosses have hip broblems.just hang on to him see how he turns out he should cume good for you in the end.

my pup 8 1/2 momths old,3/8 bull 5/8 grey 25in 68lb. Now regards speed+agilty, i dont think they will be proper till about 14 months old so they have still got grow bit more, which should help bit more with agilty. It really comes down to how bull comes through, i had a 1/4 bull 3/4 grey 26in 70lb now that could catch quite good for a big dog.He was just like a strong greyhound really, where as My pup and yours have gone alot more to the bull.! Tod is getting faster, but in a straight line. But he will never have the agilty like Bryn as, and i never had him for rabbits anyway, i got Bryn for that job. Just enjoy your pup for what it is.
