lucky 578 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 well things did'nt work out to good with " Alf " he had the gameness but lacked the speed and just could'nt turn.. so i was lucky enough to buy this dog in from a mate of mine... he's a genuine first cross wheaton/greyhound and is 28" ats, he takes all quarry with ease, and i can honestly say he does this better than 90% of bull crosses i have seen over the last few seasons..

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi Lucky, i have never seen, or heard of, a wheaton/grey first cross that tall. Is it a genuine first cross mate? They mostly level out about 24 inch ATS from whats i have seen . good hunting JD Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 he's definately a first cross...i know the man that bred him out of a well known and very game wheaton dog from ireland..i know most are a bit on the small side as i've seen a few around 22"-24" but i was talking to a bloke in ireland that had a few from 26" upwards but i cant vouch for whether these were genuine first crosses. p.s his litter sister is 24 1/2" ats but i'm told he has a litter brother around the same size.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I don't think its a "true" brindle Paddy, i have seen genuine first crosses that colour before. Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 i'm not up on genetics... but i do know he a first cross....it would'nt make a bit of difference to me though if he was'nt as long as it does what i want it for.. there is pups out of this dog to a pure greyhound that are all a sandy colour though.
