PoshPikey 560 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 22 inches. Fast canny and bags of wind. An effective mix that I want to own again 1 Quote Link to post
NathanJohn 6 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Cheers my mates just brought one, but judgeing by the size of him so far at 11 weeks i would say he is going to be bigger than 22. The dam was a saluki at 26in to the shoulder and the sire a whippet at 23in Quote Link to post
PoshPikey 560 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Should be a useful dog, small enough for some things and big enough for others Quote Link to post

NathanJohn 6 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I personally would not start a dog lamping at 7 mounths old because i dont think many dogs are mentally fit for the job at that age. Quote Link to post
