nothernlite 18,077 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 What height is your bitch? Quote Link to post
two crows 3,342 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I all ways suggest coursing types to cross to lurchers as the mix often produces, however you say your bitch is collie'fied and the pup you want is for lamping, and you already have saluki in your bitch, so stamina probably ok, then a grew be the way to go for me all day long. 2 Quote Link to post
