First cross bull whippets

[gnasher16 30,046]

Looks a well raised pup that,it sounds like a useful cross ive been doing some research on bull/grey/whippet as in 25% bull 25% grey 50% whippet obviously a touch more rangey than straight bull/whippet but looking at that pup it looks plenty rangey enough,be interested to see it in 6 months time.

Just found this old photo of a breeding I did a good few years back.19 1/2" 42lb bulldog bitch from exceptionally good breeding and well worked.22 1/2 42lb whippet mostly M Browns breeding.Not one of the litter had enough gears to be really efficient for anything that took any catching.

Bull dog looks a nice type

With the right bull bitch and the right whippet x greyhound they would be a handy around small type lurcher. The first cross whippets just don't have the height and gears though

From what ive personally seen they need a good lump of greyhound in them to make them a really usefull allrounder.

First x bull whippet , bite like a crocodile, was fast enough to catch Charlie in first 100 yards ,anything after that hecouldnt close the gap ,

I think you would have got a couple of faster ones the other way round.

The pups were no different in build to 1st crosses ive seen done the other way round in fact they were taller and racier looking than a lot ive seen.Maybe i just expected more from them than some people.

yeh even though from a 1x bred dog  which is 4/8s x 4/8s of 2 breeds, my self like the bass blood the dam, and running dog the sire. my 2   1xs  Bryn  collie sire , dam greyhound , he looks more like lurcher than Buck who 1x gsd x grey, dam the gsd , sire razzmtazz the greyhound, Buck got better stamina, and fast as  Bryn after  couple yards, Buck top end just as fast as what Bryn was in his day. i think in some ways people use the running dog as the dam, because the look of the  animal, and greyhounds etc  are easy to obtain .!
