Size

I've worked a bunch of lurcher's, one thing I can't remember doing is getting a tape measure out and measuring the dog to the shoulder! Lol They just did what they did, rabbit, hare or fox, all good.....sound line a bunch of falconers with their weights......1lb 6oz or 1lb 13oz.....lol

what about 3/4 whippet collie do you think they will differ much in size

cheers relic2

Instead of constantly putting up threads asking how something will turn out and what this cross will make etc etc. Why don't you tell us exactly what you want from a dog. Size, ground, tasks and let the lads make you a few suggestions?

 

mooching on farmland & woods

Don't get too hung up on what size a dog will end up pal, get a dog you fancy an get it out, couple of inch either side of what you ideally want won't be end of world..

A little bit more info would be better lol.say for instance if you do a lot of ferreting and daytime mooching in wood land and around hedgerows then a beddy wippit grey or a coli wippet grey would be fine.

Spot on. Just what I was about to say. Get something you fancy. Out of parents you like and that are doing the job.

 

Don't restrict yourself with something small (3/4 whippet 1/4 collie) if you think you might want or need something bigger in 12 months.

lot of sense there..........my deerhound x wasn't made or bought for mooching woodland and scrub but she does fine, best to get a type you like and put some time and commitment into it, get yourself out with a few different types you might click with a bigger type or fall in love with the beddy x's
