My new puppy (something you do not see here too often)

[two crows 3,342]

hitler banned hunting with hounds in Germany on july 3rd 1934 on the grounds that t was un sporting.  and as we all know he was well known for his sportsmanship.

I believe through the middle ages keeping a lurcher sight hound other than by noblemen required the dog to be ham strung.  if owned by the commoners so as not to be able to catch the kings deer..

Hi everybody,

I am a long time lurker of this forum and found a lot of good information here.

This is my first lurcher pup and I (obviously) think she is coming along nicely. She is a Whippet x German Pinscher (the mating was more of an accident, but I know both parents and they are wonderful).
I am from Germany so please beware that I am not allowed to work her here legally...

 

Feel free to ask any questions you might have and have a good day!

It is like a smaller version of Doberman (45-50 cm to the shoulder). A Doberman can be called Riesenpinscher (Giant Pinscher).
They do not have a long history but are probably descendants from farm/carriage dogs. They are mostly watchdogs, but they were also used for ratting and so on.
As already said this was an accidental mating. For a lurcher a german pinscher would not be my first choice of breed.
