Michelleva Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Ohh have fun. At least with two they should be able to keep each other company and out of mischief, or maybe it'll be double trouble. Don't forget to show us pics of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rambo"? Hahaha oh dear :cool: I can imagine how excited you must be, the time must be crawling for you... I remember the last 2 days before I picked up Saki, I was just so impatient and couldn't think or talk about anything else at all! ;) I filled in my time buying ridiculous amounts of dog beds, toys, food, bowls, leads, etc etc etc... I'm sure the staff of Mega Pet Warehouse got very sick of hearing about my pup... But feel free to rant away on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute pup all the same though!! Most Staghounds nowadays are bred from "pure" Staghounds ( you know what I mean )...... the most favoured original cross was Deerhound X Greyhound. I knew some-one who had Staghounds and Deerhounds and he never cross-bred his Deeries to produce Stags. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Jeddica, a staghound isn't a breed, its a common name for any X-bred using either deerhound or wolfhound, crossed with usually, a greyhound. Although any mix of deerhound/wolfhound/anything is called a staghound these days. I think there are a few pig hunters here, but they tend to discuss the cross breeding and pighunting on the boarhunter type chatrooms. I know many local responsible pighunters & their dogs are very loved & well cared for - and there are heaps of websites to cater to them. Being a purebred dog forum, breeding x-breds isn't widely supported here, as so many unwanted litters end up in the pound/rescue) But lots of people here own & love their x-breds, and of course are a huge part of this forum. ( I have a rescue mutt as well) We'll look foward to seeing how your pups grow. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
