It’s my sons dog I got him it from a pup and the lad told me the story how he got it,so I rang Jeff to confirm it and he told me all the story about it’s mother.my son done everything thing with him and the dog adapted to it naturally.When I say everything I’m mean everything to from small to big and teeth.Don’t believe everything most tell you on here about them as they have never seen 1 but just what Jeff is like on the phone.The top pic is my deerhound greyhound then my sons beddyxwhippet and the Smithfield on the left

Don't think he has bred a litter in a few years and its been a long time since he worked a dog, i knew him back in the 80's and he didn't work them then, I've mentioned before he wanted to use on of mine as a stud but wouldn't come out lamping or even daytime for a wander with one of his. Most sighthound crosses will make a worker to some degree and that's about it for the dogs he bred, at least from the 80's, talked the talk but didn't walk it.

I have never been a cow man but one thing i do know is a weak jawed dog like everyone thinks is like a old smithfield would get it's face kicked off it by a cow and these days  it's only got to get it from the field into a lorry.The old smithfields used to drive them cattle hundreds of miles on green lanes without loosing them,a weak jawed dog than can't grab a hock is no good to any drover in any time of history...
