lucky 578 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 the majority of first cross wheaton/greyhounds i have seen have been fawn in colour....so is the fawn gene stronger or is the colour of the greyhound used a major factor aswell ? Quote Link to post

Nell 1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Got one here thats fawn, all of the litter were fawn and so were both parents. The sire was a 3/8 5/8 and the mother was a first cross. The majority I have seen are fawn, but to be honest Lucky yours was the first other colour I have actually seen, although I have heard of different colours, some of them were not true Wheaten crosses, they had a bit of bull in them.
