BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Apart from a wee beddy x whippet/greyhound I had in my teens I have always run collie greyhounds - all from Hancock - I'm in my mid 40s now and really never thought about running another x. However, we now have a 10 month old alaunt x 3/4 grey 1/4 bull. Worker to worker bred and we've had him since he was 8 weeks old. Buster is one of the most laid back individuals I have ever worked with - polar opposite from the norm - and so far, I'm well impressed in everything he has done. He's a clever dog. He's just over 26"tts and weighs 34kgs - he's a big boy - all legs and limbs - with a bit of thickening to do yet. I'll do very little with him this winter. But next winter... 1 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 24,793 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've liked Alaunts ever since I saw Zeus, a few year back at Bedlington Show. I couldn't justify having one, there are better crosses suited to me, but they ARE impressive looking dogs !! Cheers. Quote Link to post
