DazAllison1 556 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I was having a blether with a mate who has a litter brother to my 2nd X DeerxGrey pup and he was saying his is near on 30" already and their roughly only 8month to be fair his is a dog but my bitch is only 25" so far, It got us wondering about the smaller types of the cross which is considered usually as a larger cross, what's the smallest version of the X yous have seen and how did they fair to the bigger 1s?

sikastag_1 689 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 If you put a deerhound to a greyhound the litter would be even and you should know what to expect mate, when you put a first x to a first x then you can get what youse have a varied litter, I had a half x Beddy grey, 3rd generation half x she was nearly 25 inch and my first cross Beddy grey is just over 21, its just what happens when you put lurcher to lurcher even though the percentage is the same, you can get big small, rough and smooth all in the same litter, if you want 30 inch first cross that's the way you should go you can't really reproduce a first cross Quote Link to post
