Gamebred Bulldog X Staghound Pup Question

[jreid 9]

I bred my bulldog bitch to a staghound and I kept two male pups. They were whelped 12/25/2011 and are approx 5 1/2 months old now and stand 22 1/2" tts. And have been larger than their dam for some time now. I was wandering about how much bigger they are going to get? And when can I expect them to stop growing? Not many people in this country breed lurchers. Most everybody runs straight stags. I have five stags but wants something to hit a coyote hard. I will add pics of the pups soon. Attached is a picture of the dam and sire. Dam is bred well and weighs 50lbs on the chain and 20"tts or less and sire is a big dog. unk exactly.I would say 30+"tts.

12-18 month they should stop and they should make over 22 1/2" they maybe hit 26/27"

What use are they in this country.

well if both come through in the pups ,should be spot on for any quarry bigger than rabbits, and if this ban ever lifted they would have plenty of work

how does a staghound differ from our lurchers?

[jreid 9]

From what I know they are basically a longdog.. They mainly at just greyhound and Scottish deerhound descendants that have been selectively bred to hunt coyotes. We wanted something that was lighter built, little faster than a greyhound but wanted the toughness, endurance, and ruggedness of a deerhound to better suit coyotes.. A greyhound typically doesn't have enough endurance to catch a coyote and would get hurt more often because they are fine boned and the deerhound wouldn't have the instant burst of speed and agility that a greyhound has.. This is only my opinion though, I'm not an expert.
