Whip-Pit?
Sadie is supposed to be a Whippet x APBT. She's 2 years old,
weighs about 25 pounds, and came to her owners through a Pit Bull rescue which provided the breeds ID. Does this seem like a reasonable guess? A very sweet and submissive girl. http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/Whip-Pit.jpg I looked for, but couldn't find, John Richardson's pictures of his whippit that I'm sure he posted a few years ago. -- --Matt.

But then the very only Whippet cross I've ever seen had probably some kind of spitz as the other parent, and the Whippet traits were easier to see than if the other parent is a Pit Bull with rather heavy head. German Pinscher looks like a potential parent, but I think that they are so rare over there that it is nearly impossible. Whippet x Jack Russell as one parent, and Pit/Staff as another? Liisa |

rec.pets.dogs.breeds: German Pinscher looks like a potential parent, but I think that they are so rare over there that it is nearly impossible. Whippet x Jack Russell as one parent, and Pit/Staff as another? You're correct - German Pincshers are rare here, though I do know a couple. Pit Bulls are also relatively rare in my area, though there are apparently enough to feed a rescue organisation. It looks like this one will stay an unknown. I know nothing of Sadie's background before her owners got her from Pit Bull rescue. She looks like many of the ubiquitous reserve dogs who go through other rescue organisations - there are a lot of herding breeds on the reserves (though I doubt they had any influence in Sadie), lots of GSD mixes, and a fair number of Elkhound and St Bernard mixes. Probably JRTs, too. Thanks! -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
