First Cross To Second Cross, What To Expect?

[ROB.BOB 21]

Not lurchers but you guys are the ones to ask, I'd expect a purist rant if I put this in the gundogs section.

I've got a first cross pointer lab and a second cross bitch, think I've phrased it correctly? (two first crosses where the parents)

 

I'd like to breed from them in the future, could I expect something similar to either of the parents are something totally random??

Maths aint my strongpoint, but it sounds like you'd have 3rd gen 1st x pups mathematically, but genetically the pups could throw most ways. Genetics aint my strongpoint either lol. I think think you'd end up with most of the pups same as the parents. Be nice strong athletic types

You will find that they vary in between some slightly more to the lab some to the pointer ,unless you are line /lnbreding to "fix' traits

where you double up on the same genes almost deleting some others this is how most pure breeds we're created whether they inbred for looks or performance and started looking similar as a consequence.

I'll try and add them but Ive struggled before to upload them.

My bitch has pulled more to the lab, a littermate ended up like a white first cross, beauty of a thing

[ROB.BOB 21]

Anyone be kind enough to upload the picture if I email it to them? I'm stumped

Thanks, the first cross is about 24-5 tts and the bitch is about 23 but she's soft as out so was getting worried about the camera so not sitting up.
