Italian Greyhound/jack Russell Mixed

[3spoiledpooches]

I have adopted from a shelter recently- I think she is Italian Greyhound/Jack Russell Terrier mixed. She weighs 12.5#. What do think?

[borzoimom]

Italian greys are really tiny. How old is she? maybe she is a whippet mix with jack russell..

I argee, I see the terrier in the face and definetly terrier fur. You can also see sighthound of some sort in the face, and whippet/greyhound in the face. As of the size I'd say whippet/JTR. :)

Aw, she is sweet! What's her name?

[jackmilliesmom]

She is pretty much JRT and I do not see whippet or other in her but then I am biased so what makes you think she has some sort of whippet/Italian greyhound in her. how tall is she in inches and how much does she weigh.


Some jrts have tails and all have them at birth and that is when they are docked but it is their look to have them docked.

So whats her name and give more details about her height and so on as i asked please and then maybe we can tell more but she has more terrier than sight hound in her

[jackmilliesmom]

She is all jrt definitely from what i see in the photos even the way she stands and her paws and face are so jrt just like Jack and she has hte muscle tone of a jrt too.

She is ADORABLE!!! However, I may be a teeny bit biased seeing as I own three! You must share more about her and more pictures!

I say pure/mostly JRT! ;) Backyard bred undoubtedly, but I don't see any sighthound. *shrugs* Plus, she has a docked tail and most people don't/wouldn't dock the tails of a mix...but that's just my thoughts.

[critter crazy]

I see 100% cutie in that little girl!!!!!

[lvpets2002]

;) Well I just think this baby is a cutie sweetie pie..

[vinjashira]

she looks 100% JRT to me too. Very sweet :)

I see a touch of chihuahua in there. She is a little more apple-headed than average for a JRT. Maybe I'm wrong.

I agree...my family owns two. I also agree with the docking of the tail, pluso the dew claws look to have been removed and most(at least all mixes I have owed) have never had them removed. ;)

She is VERY cute! I don't know what else I see but I see the Jack Russel!

[scoutsmom]

She's very sweet-looking. I have a "confirmed" JRT/Italian greyhound mix, as in, the person who rescued him says that mom was a JRT and dad was an Iggy. You can definitely see each of these breeds in his appearance and in his personality. Scout is 2-3 years old, weighs in at 17 lbs. and is leggy. Tail, ears, and chest are IG; face and attitude are JRT. Best dog around!! BTW, I think if you mixed a JRT with a whippet, you'd end up with a dog who is larger than Scout, even.

[Spiritwind]

I don't own a JRT or IG... however in the pics for sure I see a lot of JRT, but I could also see the IG part in her. I don't think 12.5 lbs is all that much for a JRT or a IG.

The vet clinic I used to work at most recently we had several IG's that came in to board on a regular basis. We had this one IG, Cody, who was there all the time.... but he was 20-21lbs!! He was actually FAT!! The ONLY fat Greyhound (Italian) I have EVER seen.... lol

[Twisterdog]

I see JRT. Not seeing much sighthound. Some BYB's have what are techincally Jack Russells and Parson Russells interbreeding. The puppies, obviously, aren't going to breed true to either breed.

My latest resuce effort was a BYB selling "purebred Jack Russells". We took a mother and two pups. The mother was a broken coat, solid white Jack Russell. One of the puppies looked like her at first, but since has grown to probably twice the size of a large JRT, and shows some suspiciously lab-like features. But, by gosh, she's got those papers! :rolleyes: The other puppy looks like, well, not sure ... a very small JRT, but sometimes I see some toy fox terrier in her. This charming lady also had a couple of Parson Russells running around, and several dogs which could only kindly be called "terrier mixes". I'm am quite sure she had no earthly idea which male fathered any of her litters.

Awwww! What a cute little pumpkin! Congrats on the new furry family member! :)

[JRTProds]

the legs are jack russell. i have a jack and her daughter, part dachsund. i used to have an italian greyhound ... i'd imagine the legs much longer if she were a jrt/greyhound mix, even jrt/whippet

[ErikaLynne]

im trying to figure out what kind of puppy i have. and they look exactly alike. i noticed when she ran she looked like a greyhound but she is very little. she looks bigger in her pictures. i was amazed on how much they look alike!!!

My dog Sandy is an Greyhound jack russel mix and she looks like yours :) Sandy is much bigger though cause she is a Greyhound and not a Italian small version, I hope this helps :) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mechanicsville-MD/My-pets-ARE-my-children/210283357195#!/photo.php?pid=174445&op=2&o=global&view=global&subj=210283357195&id=100000520669759 < this is a link to a pic of my Sandy :)
