shepp 2,285 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I saw a litter for sale a year or two ago, sound a handy little long dog. Quote Link to post
Sakina&Lyra 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 We've always got lurchers with a deerhound base, but I'm def leaning towards getting one with a decent amount of whippet soon. I was out with mine - deerhound/grey/saluki/bearded collie (26") and a whippet/grey/collie (about 21") belonging to a friend and although mine was faster, the whippet x had fantastic agility and could turn on a dime. Good luck finding a litter, I like the sound of the mix you're after! Quote Link to post
