RossM 8,121 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 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... nice looking pup i have a pup of the same age how come you wont be doing much with him this season atb oneshot Maybe that's how he chooses to enter his pups, this is where there are so many opinions on on running dogs, each has teir own way, and if it works for them, then who are we to say its wrong? IMO hes a good age for light duties, get him working the lamp things like that. no doubt he'll do a wee bit this season but next season will be the one to get him going that wee bit harder, Quote Link to post

lietome 138 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 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. most are not like him he has changed the shape from heavy slab sided to more athletic and agile improved the type the best ive seen so far Quote Link to post
