mad4it 694 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 the pup would get there racey from the dam Quote Link to post
MickyB 327 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 There's no guarantees with breeding personally I'd of thought the bitch would be the bull to ease the birth I'd bet a greyhound may struggle to birth a more bully pup jmo Micky Quote Link to post

buster gonads 862 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 It doesnt matter which way you breed them Yep, old wives tale imo, although i know alot of lads that think differently to me. if you want something racey just pick a pup thats thrown to the dam, it being a GH i presume, but if i rearly wanted something racey i wouldnt be looking at a first cross bull in the first place. 4 Quote Link to post

beast 1,884 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 with a first cross it makes no difference, half the pups genes come from each parent. any other breeding there is a bit of "lucky dip" about it, unless the line has been bred for type for several generations and is breeding true.
