a few pic's of the pup's

[blackstaff]

As a few of you know i bred Doll's last year, thought i'd put a few pic's up to show you how they have come on. I used a non ped whippet as i wanted a nice strong running dog with a bit of bone and muscle These pup's were 6 weeks old in these pic's, 7 boy's 1 bitch ( And she is to ! )





























This is the only bitch which we are keeping

[Jessica]

the pups look good and very healthy good job!
Always interesting to see somthing a bit different, will be nice to see how they come on.
Its hard to tell on size, how do they compare to a stafford pup at this age - what kinda size you think they will be?

[Shakka-Staffs]

WELL DONE DOLLY pups look good brad they are going to be fast little things

[kirsty]

aint they sweet looking

[blackstaff]

Cheers guy's, i think they'll make around the 20"+ mark, the sire is around 22 23. Defo going to be handy all round dog's, and hopefuly fast as greased lightning !! The sire has produced some of the fastest scracth whippets in the country over the past couple of years so fingers crossed. Bunnies beware

[anubis]

Hi guy's, as a few of you know i have been let down very badly with the proposed new owners of these pup's. I am aware that this is not an ideal situation to be in just after christmas but before i bred Dolly i was assured that 4 ( 5 including the one i was going to keep ) would be taken and may only have 1 or 2 homes to find.I had planned this breding for just over a year with research and the like and all the best intentions of people, but now i find myself in the place of having 8 pup's here which are 8 weeks on Sunday with no real homes to go to. I will take all the flack and abuse you have to throw at me without a word back, but would appreciate if you could ask around for me as i just don't have the room for all these dog's !.I have advertised elsewhere but what with the pup's nearly 8 weeks i have to swallow my pride and ask for some assistance in this. Please PM me if you have any info, thank you

[Shakka-Staffs]

that really sucks mate i know how you feel after people pulled out on us too. My friends are looking for a staff i dont know if they could be persuaded. Ill keep my ear to the ground mate for sure. Are they classed as lurchers ?

[dog]

No shame in asking mate, finding them good homes is the main thing. They are well bred dogs for sure and if anyone's in any doubt let me tell you how good Dolly is, she's a top class Stafford and very quick should make an excellent first cross.

They would be classed as Lurchers Shakk, anything crossed with a running dog is called a Lurcher although most people would call them Bull Whippets.

I'll PM you, I know someone who might be interested.

[blackstaff]

Cheers guy's
Dog - PM sent

[bullmatt]

shame ive got no space mate,i would snap one up, plus i will only take on bitches from now on ,they suit me better 8-)i will talk to a few pals see if i can place any,how much are they ?

[blackstaff]

Pm sent Matt

[blackstaff]

1 has gone, he went on sunday to his new home, Todd ( the blue dog )
Still got 6 more to go
Thanks for all the pm's people they are appreciated

[Jessica]

Oh Brad i do feel for you, its a hard time of year for pups.
I must admit i am surprised they seem to be a well thought out breeding, and both good dogs - people must be struggling more than we realize.
I will ask around too, better off they go to pet homes i guess, working homes is quite a tough life for any dog let alone a lurcher type.
Have you advertised any-were on line that may help? Try the free ads or maybe epupz or something like that?
Best of luck im sure between us all we can try and help.

[mayhem]

they re cracking looking pups mate well done to dolly and your self cant wait to see how your pup come s on ive seen a cross like this befor he was the heart of wales lure champion hell of a quick dog hope you find the others a home i d love to have 1 but the mrs wont let me atb mikey

[hiphoplyricalrobot]

cracking dogs mate, well done. I too will ask about. Have you tried advertising in 'earth dog, running dog' magazine?

[blackstaff]

Whilst i've still got the pup's i'm still trying to take as many pic's as possible, so here are a few more. They are driving me crazy but i still find myself watching them for ages ! The last few are of Dolly and the only girl which we are keeping, Pearl :thumbs:



































My fav 2 pic's out of the ones i've sorted through so far





Cheers for the replies peep's, i have got them advertised on a few places so fingers crossed, 1 more went to his new home tonight too which is good news Typical though beacause as soon as he left someone e-mailed me for him

[Diamond]

Brad, you'll find homes don't dispare. It will take a little time, some of mine were 10 weeks when they went and I had one back for a while. They are cracking wee pups anyone who homes will be pleased. It is always hard when people let you down but everyone on this forum is with you. Keep you chin up. Rose

[czbruno]

The pups look very healthy
Are they going to pet homes? I ask as i cannot help but wonder that if you intend then as workers what you had in mind that bull could bring to the table for rabbiting dogs?
I am not knocking your breeding decision ,it was entirely yours to make i just wondered why you didnt just get yourself a pure whippit or beddy x whip or beddy/whipxwheaten/grey?

[blackstaff]

czbruno, like i said i'll take i'll take all the flack you want no worries. These pup's can go to either pet or working homes imo.
I used Dolly as i personally feel she's proved herself to be worthy of bringing pup's into the world. Her temp around my kids, other dog's, my 3 cats, my 2 ferrets, my friends baby's is unquestionable imo. Running dog's are notorious for having bad feet, weak skin, lack of bone but do bring speed and a fairly laid back attitude to the table. Cross this with a dog that has drive , is bidable, a genuinely loving nature, good muscle and bone structure ( Not the best confirmation but thats a matter of opnion ) good feet, then you'll have a rabbiting / lamping dog that wil take a knock or 2 and not have to be laid up for weeks, plus it will also have ( hopefully ) the right bone and muscle to do all the athletic stuff that i do now, plus when we go to game fairs and the like it will be another interst for myself and my family to have, rather than just the small circles we move in now.
I did consider buying in a pup but there was nothing out there that ticked all the boxes for me. The nature of the sire is great and his achievements speak for themselves so i would of got a pup out of him but there was nothing that came close to what i wanted. Also when you buy a dog it's never easy imo. You are having to believe the person who'm you are buying from. So if he say's it's o.k with children or alright with other dogs you only have his word to take. Not for me i'm afraid, i want to see the dog in his natural enviroment and see what he's truley like. alright and o.k are not words i'd want to hear. Brilliant, fantastic, great are words i like to hear.
You seem to know a bit cz, what dog's do you run ??
