new to the flock Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 A few pics of a stray that Trix and I picked up at her parents farm. We went around to the other farm etc in the area and all we could find out is he has been around for about 2 weeks. Have called all the vets in the area, and the animal shelters but no luck Of course no collar or chip. Judging by the conformation, angulation and overall appearance I am thinking grey hound x bull breed....possibly pit bull.... about 2 years old. An absolute dream to have in the house and he loves the kids...has already eaten 2 of them He is just off brindle in color and his only fault that I can find is his front dew claws. He is now crate trained and well settled in. Still looking for an owner but I have a feeling he has been dropped in which case he will be welcomed here if we can not find him a home. Of course I am lookng very hard....... just ask Trix May let him see a bunny on the weekend to see what he does. I will try to get some better pics of him later in the week.

Cranfield Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think your guess on the cross looks about right, what is the problem with the dew claws, I cannot see clearly enough on the pics ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You lucky boy BTW I am guessing he will decimate a scutail. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that he has them. I absolutly hate them on a working dog as sooner or later they will be torn and then it will be into the vet, anistetic, dews removed and a $150.00 bill. It is so much easier to remove them at 48 hours of age. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 You lucky boy BTW I am guessing he will decimate a scutail. LB I did a bit of retrieving with him today with a nice soft puppy canvas.....very soft mouth and gentle delivery. I can see the biggest problem is going to be recall as his is very poor at the moment...mind you he had no leash training on him 2 days ago and is now heeling like a trooper, sitting and waiting, so maybe it will come quickly aswell. I really hope he will strike and carry......as of yet still no owners located. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new to the flock Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 looks a strong dog Dan... looks almost like a 'pig dog'......ridgeback bull x of some average ? I thought that a possibility aswell Paul, but I think the bone structure is just a little to light, the coat too thin and the rear end a little to elevated for ridgeback. Which is what makes me think greyhound cross. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTF Me thinks that one has been answered Now it is time to get some good obediance founded on him and a solid recall as I have a feeling I know what he was surviving on the two weeks he was running.....He also needs to be tested around all stock and cats to be sure he is steady.
