Greyhounds - how tall are yours?

[FestiveSpirit]

Just wondered following my earlier post today - I have just measured mine, and Flick is 24.5" and Islay is 25.5" at the shoulder

Told you they were small ones

T'would appear you are the only greyhound owner on here tonight!!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

I had come to that conclusion too

No-one to share my obsession....sigh....

I have jsut measured amy....yours must be dinky.....may is 25nches to the shoulder

May

who the hell is may....I mean amy.....I blame u mentioning the name thing

My mams greyhound sunny is un-naturally tall....I will see if she will measure him, he towers above amy......I think my deerhound is about 30 inches.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Awwww you see, she would fit perfectly with mine

My old lurcher (the fluffy idiot, not Talisker) was about 29" at the shoulder when he finally fnished growing, his mother was a deerhound x although his dad was a collie lurcher

My Flick was dumped in Ireland because she never grew big enough to race, and I can see why, she is pretty slow compared to some of the others I've had

Mams greyhound is 30 inches aswell.....she said the grey rescue man said the biggest he ever had in was 32 inches.

I don't think I have ever posted pics of me mams grey, he is like a small pony, and all black....will get a pic when im up next.

Blimey that is HUGE

Definitely need some pics... and some more Amy (May?) pics of course

Christ I really am obsessed arent I, it was lovely meeting the new two on my walk today

my lurcher is only 18" tiny but perfectly formed and bloody fast!!!

From head to tail, he is 32 inches long (known only as we recently measured him to buy a rug!). I've no idea how tall - I shall find a measuring stick after lunch and find out!

Apparently, he is 'medium' sized for a GH, according to the GH rescue centre we got him from.

My Tigger is 28in and Roo is 26in, plenty tall enough to take the leftover turkey off the side....!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Ah bless them

Flick managed to take the remaining half of a custard tart off the side on Christmas Day - why ever would a dog want to eat a custard tart

My two really are quite small arent they, a normal sized greyhound would be a bit of a shock for me I think

 

[CAYLA]

Small has nowt to do with it.......my whippets jsut jump right onthe bench

esp blummin flick.....he jumps up if I go in the garden and looks out the flippin window

my greyhound is 29inches tall and only 2 years old so has still got to fill out and hopefully stop looking like a thin shetland pony!
