Hes comming on well retrives rabbit dummys to had indoors every time however is a little reluctant when in open feilds. He has settled alot in the last month or so and is better behaved although he still has alot of puppy in him still as to be expected. He runs like lightning when thrown a ball. we have been out on the lamp with a friend and his lurchers on afew occations to let him see the other dogs course, which he pulls like hell when another dog is slipped.So on the whole he is showing promising signs already. Would you have any ideas to what size he would reach then he has shot up and now seems to have stopped. at only 6mnths i expect him to grow alot more and can i conferm then he is most probably grey x bull with a hint of wippet?? and would he be classed as 3/4grey 1/4 bull? Thanxs for your help Quote Link to post
