Welsh Dragon update!

He's like Dachshund in a Greyhound shape. Bit like Corgi crosses when they are just the other breed but in the template/shape of a Corgi.

Saluki x Collie sounds like it would be a bit of a spicy mix!
 
I think smooth collie x, they look a bit more Roman nosed than the rough I think.
He is a stunning dog and a lucky boy.
I thought Welsh Springers were meant to be quieter and easier than the English? No one told Idris. 🤣

So did I, and my family have had Welshies for the last 50 odd years!
The whole litter is completely nuts- his breeder says she's never had a litter like it!
 
That’s neat @Moobli. How did you get the name?

When I search on iPhone with Google lens, I don’t get a name just lots of photos of Dachshunds underneath Wilfie’s photo

If you have the photo in the photo section in iPhone you just swipe up and it tells you just if thinks it is. It’s not always right though 😂. It thinks my GSDs are Dutch shepherds, I’m guessing because they aren’t black/tan 😂

iPhone referred to my Connemara 3yo as a ‘common warthog’!!!! Not even a fancy warthog, just a common one!
 
i'd put a large chunk of money on the new dog being collie/saluki/greyhound. you can see the saluki in his shape and the merle almost certainly came from a collie.
That would be my guess to, plenty of saluki luchers and merle collies. Collie in lurchers is really popular as it increases brains and bidability you need that with saluki blood in there too
 
He's absolutely beautiful. Out of interest having had a fab one years ago her only real quirk was terrible separation anxiety despite lots of behavioural trainers help. Is that generally a quirk of the breed or just her?

Helpfully despite having let the breeder know as an adult she'd need to be left a few hours each day the breeder only mentioned well after we'd got her that the bitch had terrible separation anxiety as well🤦‍♀️

They are known for being a bit velcro! Idris will be left, and is quite happy for a bit, but my God does he go loopy when I get back!

Ah I did wonder yes she used to literally be by your feet all day. Funnily enough she did have cracking recall😂
