no insult taken. im just baffled how to explain what theyll be.

Lurchers. You could also use the lovely old 18c term Gazehounds: 'a hound that pursues not by the scent but by eye.' Because they will!

I notice you said "what would the pups be" rather than "what will" they be. If you breed, did you know it could change your boy's personality? And breeding carries a lot of risk and responsibility, such as being responsible for the pups for the rest of their lives, and taking them back if necessary.

Yep - a lurcher, same as your bitch is. They can vary enormously. Mine is bedlington x deerhound x greyhound x Irish terrier but still a lurcher!

I do hope you don't breed them - there are goodness knows how many wonderful lurchers in rescues.

There is no fancy name for them, just the good old honest name of LURCHER.

As for rescues, Willow for instance. Lovely, huh? Taken into safety by the wonderful team at Rochdale.
