Some of the main physical differences about Doxhope first crosses when comapred to others of the time, was that they were smaller, stronger, lighter and nimbler. What happens after the first cross is dictated by how the dog is then bred, putting it to a greyhound, or other dogs with deerhound or larger breeds in them will in most cases knock that size back up..thats fine if you like big dogs. These are deerhound crosses, so work has to be done if size is to be kept at a sensible level, or brought down further..Ive never been a lover of big lurchers or first crossers, 23-24 inches are my thing. I brought down deerhound crosses to these sizes 20 years before Doxhope was created, Mother on the left, daughter on the right, these go back to first cross deerhound x greyhounds bred in the 70`s Edited June 10, 2016 by Omanyra 17 Quote Link to post
Omanyra 2,518 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) No whippet matie Put collie cross in, kept the smallest or one of the smallest bitches each generation, lurchers to lurcher crosses focussing on using the best around where I lived at the time, dogs what I believed would suit and click with my bitches best, and used some dogs related to mine After 6-7 generations my bitches were levelling out 23-24 inches weighing about 40-45lbs Dogs, these were not as consistent and ranged from 24-28 I focussed on bitches, and we did the same with our deerhounds so both were considered to be good bitch lines Edited June 10, 2016 by Omanyra 8 Quote Link to post
