TheDirtyDawg 58 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 depends what you are wanting to hunt and the way your hunting day or nite i keep 1st cross wheten grey not really good lamping dogs as such they do give all they can better with 3/4 for lamping just for that extra gear did passed on a whippet wheten few months back just like a real strong whippet head to big for my liken for running and he was a fighty cnut would fight with anything thats y i got rid.one of my first cross bitches has a head that is bigger than near any bull cross i have came across.but when she grabs game its gone.

Dancing Dog 10 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is my lad, he's predominantly whippet with a bit of greyhound and wheaten in the mix. The picture doesn't do him much justice but he's a well built little dog, stands at 23". 1 Quote Link to post

TheDirtyDawg 58 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 maybe even 1st cross put back to whippet/grey. or 3/4 grey 1/4 wheaten.it just depends on what u want.with wheaten i find that they do throw a strong head even generations down the line and its just getting the mix of body and head right for taking both quarry Quote Link to post
huntmad. 67 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thats what I was thinking Wheaton grey to whippet grey but finding one is hard like I stated been thinking for a while about it and all the time I've thought I haven seen the right cross for sale so I'm just guna have to wait I think but that's the cross as u say Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,324 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ozzy turned out a big lump. but he was the heaviest pup in a first cross litter. there was a few much lighter built and quite racy pups . picked a bulky pup as i wanted a durable pesters dog. for ratching about with. he is just what i wanted, but he is no where near fast enough for your average lurcher owner. but each to their own.
