Wild rover when you say grew, do you mean grey/whip? How old is the red dog?

[Tag1 12]

Good strong looking dogs wild rover. Read on another site that they can be very protective, have you found them to be like this?

[wild rover 548]

The red bitch is 4, she is only whippet size but stocky, Grew yes mate Greyhound/Whippet, they do have guard/protect instincts, especially in the kennel, I have had them for 20 years, not everyones cup of tea and depends why you want them.

The reason I asked about the protection instinct is because I keep a guard type dog about the house, been a lot of break ins near me and 1 at mine over the years (kids were sleeping upstairs!) she's getting older and when the time comes to get another id like a dog that I can ferret with as well. Look like dogs that can take a few knocks as well, some of my permission is pretty rough. Cheers for answering

This is a cross I'd like too try with my current dog but never see any for sale round my way but its going too be. a long process will be 4 years at least before I do it seen a few with acd in them in Australia and were very handy dogs but very stocky type built the dogs had too have great feet and bone structure cos the ground was like concrete over there but the lads I talked too had them over a deerhound x they rated them very highly but they told me the best type was deerhound x over a acd then back over a deerhound x and that offspring was your better dogs then the first x but the acd dogs are not some little pushover dog hearts of lions you would say I seen the dogs working in a yard and in fields and there were never tame beasts over there I mean proper feral cattle and you would see them on the ankles very quick and they soon got a few mobs moving

Pure working acds are tough dogs my house mate had a blue heeler and it was bonkers very intelligent but never switched off it lived in the back yard with my bull x bitch which was the only other dog it didn't try fighting well except for meal times. It was always alert and basically on guard I'd look out the window in the middle of the night my dog was snoring in kennel the heeler was sat up or patrolling the yard. It was fairly weather proof as well in winter it would curl up on the wet grass to sleep and summer it would still run around like a nutter in 35 degs plus heat ! A lot of tradies use them to guard their tools on the back of their utes as well.

I got a good memory for a nice looking dog

[3175darren 1,101]

I Have one,and he's spot on,a really good allrounder, I will have another one at some point,mines 22 inch to the shoulder,very loyal hard working and when you hear him crack up at the door, when someone he does not like comes a knocking you can tell he means it,very intense dogs when they work 110 %or nothing,he will retrieve and flush feather extremely well, then go into rabbit mode at the drop of a hat,ho does get rather intense on rabbit mind,where as with everything else he is more bidable

i hope this works this is him after a duck flight
