Lennard 10 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) It looks good for sure, looks already pretty fierce. I really like the look. I guess we will see next year how big he gets but I guess when he is 20 inch now he will maybe 23 inch at least in one year with all the bone visible. L PS: Oh yeah it is in inch...so 5 inch is a lot like 15 cm but 3 inch extra after 7 months doesn't seem abnormal for a big dog. Edited December 18, 2008 by Lennard Quote Link to post

dogman89 0 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 dogs like this dont realy stop growing until they are over 18months. my friend told me that when he used to race greyhounds he got his dog measured at 18months and it grew just over an inch by the time it was 24months old Quote Link to post
GaryMcEvoy 38 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Willow, to breed. I bred her out of a nearly half desertbred saluki bitch and the sire was out of Alan Sankeys Forley cup winning Dancer and Tommy Murrays Smokey. Tom put a real good 3/4 type bull cross on her. Those pups should do any quarry in Ireland. I only used Willow on hares but in her first season she took all three britsh species and won a do for first season dogs with 11 whities single handed from 11 slips. She would hardly miss an Irish hare if she got a bend in the open and killed the brown hares on fenland in Lincolnshire and fields in Yorkshire too. This information came from a lad called boilo who contacted me about the pups...it dosent make much sense to me because i dont know the fen dog in any way but some of you might be able to make sense of it picture of dam aged 14months Quote Link to post
