24-25in lurcher to lurcher bred from parents that have took fox, there should be few good dogs that do foxes where you are

24'' 26'' i think is a good alround size,

 

 

 

But i think agility is the main factor seen big 29'' as agile as 21'' whippet type but then iv seen 23/24'' dogs that were very stiff kind of thing in there actions hate too see that in any dog.....

depends on the ground you are running on , lamping or mouching small fields on hills or in a lot of cover a smallish dog, bigger open land a bigger size 25 26 27

well i dont think the bitch pup will grow any more in height now as most have got the height at that age , and with other breeds in there i would say she as finished, its only big deerhound+ danes type that grow on height till about 15-18months old. Yes there is alot of greyhound in the dog, and she could be spot on with speed+agilty no prob there and with alot of greyhond in the mix, could be hell of a fox dog as greyhounds can be real nasty feckers when wound up on anything , this is your (good points). (Bad points) with that much running dog, she might not make old bones they can be very reckless and lamping at 30-40mph might be the last time you ever take her out .if there just little less grey in there, the breeding not to bad. And at 12 months old, you (got) put fair amount training in her ,as most pups that age would have had somthing in her, unless she is as some.? hope it works out, or pick another pup .Ray

thanxs ray well the father was a real fast dog but as wicked as they come i know another guy who had 2 dog pups outa him which were bred to a greyhound and he reckons he has never had anything as game in all his life where i live is full of foxes and never hunted so foxes are aplenty if we do buy the bitch and as we only usally ferret or lsamp for rabbits or hares are there a certain age that you would not put a pup on a fox as i know that this pup is mad wicked and has kileed two of the guys next door neighbours cats hence the reason why he is selling me the bitch thanks

 

thankx ray
