Diffrent Height In A Litter


Recommended Posts

As you know I put my 21inch lurcher to a 19inch bitch both are lurcher x lurcher bred dogs the lad who has the bitch kept a butch pup and at 6 month is standing at 14.5 tts I kept a dog pup and he is the same height as his sire at 21tts and the lad who has the bitch kept in touch with the other pups and reckons one is 23tts already bigger than both parents and racey like where mine is very bully like.

So from the smallest pup to biggest there is a difference of 8.5 inches which is a huge difference

That's the trouble with lurcher to lurcher breeding - it can be unpredictable unless you know the exact ancestry of both parents.

Sire is saluki collie grey x beddy whippet and dam is beddy bull whippet x whippet grey so there is plenty tall dogs in the mix

During the development of a puppies skeleton and muscle tissue you will find it will occur at a different pace from litter siblings these are known as Growth Spurts . Plus they are still puppies with still some growing left to do .

 

I'm thinking my pup will make 22-23 tts as he don't have much knuckle left which is bigger than I was expecting but I'm not complaining ?

Lurcher to lurcher nothing set in stone, my old bitch was the smallest in her litter @ 23.5tts and both parents were 24tts second smallest 24tts and the tallest 28tts[/quote ]

 

But an 8.5 inch difference in height is a massive difference I think
