Lily 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just wondering if people could guesstimate a height my pup will reach? I did think he was going to be really small but he seems to have taken a stretch. He is 5mths and 19" wonder what other thought? Quote Link to post

Lily 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 That would be a hell of an acheivement if he is only 19" at 5mths? What if you didnt know the breeding, would you be able to make an educated guess? Just wondering? I think his parents were about 23" collie/whippet/grey. Will he be the same size then?

If you didn't know the breeding? He is the only dog that I have known his parents most of my lurchers have been rescues So I know roughly what he should make but as I said I was doubting weather he would actually make the 23" Quote Link to post

moter poacher 2 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 id say 25 Quote Link to post
Lily 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Thanks, I know the parents are a good indication but I was wondering, being a cross I suppose he could end up small like the whippet or tall like the greyhound or an average of the three! thought his present height and age may give an idea of final height Edited September 8, 2008 by Lily Quote Link to post
andybentley 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just wondering if people could guesstimate a height my pup will reach?I did think he was going to be really small but he seems to have taken a stretch. He is 5mths and 19" wonder what other thought? He looks a nice dog mate!! I have a 3/4 grey 1/4 bedlington bitch at about 6mnths, the sire was around 24.5tts and dame 26.5tts she is roughly the same size as your pup maybe slighlty less leggy, i was told by her breeder she would reach around 23/24tts. My guess for yours would be around 24/25tts Quote Link to post
Meerihunter 7 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I would'nt think he'll be any bigger than 24" going off his current size Quote Link to post
