My word, she is beautiful. Can you show us some side-on pics of her standing? How tall is she?
 
I like this game!

Greyhound x deerhound for starters. Collie? I wouldn't rule out a bit of terrier.
 
I dont think I have one of her actually standing...her measurements are in first post 29"tts and 28kgs ;)
 
She was only 9 mths in this one ..sorry my granddaughter is in pic
 
She's very similar to Jasper - just an inch shorter, though he's about 34kg (and not overweight).
 
The last 2 were 6 years ago when we adopted Tiny Tom ...
 
Sorry - missed you giving the sizes!

Without a full length profile, I can only make an educated guess, so for fun I'll say what I can see

Size - big - usually from Deerhound. Greyhound is a given, and modern Irish greys tend to be tall.

Front feet - not at all Deerhound. More the sort you'd see on a terrier or collie. But which terrier? I'd guess at Wheaten because Bedlingtons (second choice) have slightly longer feet. Bull terrier types would give a foot like that too. This is where the profile shots would give more information.
I'm wondering about a touch of saluki but again I'd need body pics.

very like Jasper! But I think a tad chunkier where Jas is more Deerhound narrow.

She really does look a good sort. At first you'd think she was what used to be called Norfolk type, but they were smaller. She's lovely.
 
Her hair in the pics makes her look chunky but she is quite slight in frame but she does have a long body ...

Ooooh ...2 out of 3 maybe....what what type of collie were you thinking. ..:D
 
Would have said deer x grey, that’s some size of a dog, I’ve had in past grey x collie,, whip x grey, and saluki x collie, grey, I loved them all but was blown away with the speed of the whip x , suited me for the rabbits,
 
Mum was a Bearded collie X Deerhound. ..Dad was a Saluki X Whippet. ....the only saluki part i have seen in her is her fabulous tail curl when she is excited. ..she will be 11 in November. ....
 
No, I can't see the saluki either.
