Rare Hybrid, See if you can guess the breeds!

For some reason these pics keep making me think of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I think it's just the color and face mask though.

I see the tail and I think sighthound. Also the chest. The face wrinkles look so pittie to me.

First people ever to get the sighthound part of em. I'm impressed.

They are, in fact, Greyweillers.

The mom was a farm Rottie who got loose and was found a week later at a neighboring farm that was the home of several Greyhounds. A few weeks later Mom was pregnant.

When Mom had a litter of 9 pups the family couldn't afford to keep them. Their local shelter didn't have room and was going to put them down, so they drove an hour and a half to Lawrence and sat on the side of the local main street with a sign saying free puppies in the back of their van. We took in Eris and Grace, two sisters to keep each other company.

So far they show a wonderful temperament, are very playfull and eager around new people. We are working on the not jumping and nipping people part at the moment. Kennel training is going well, and for the most part are pretty house broken, just the occasional accident during the night.

They are INCREDIBLY fast even now, and I can only imagine how that will progress as they get older. I'll keep everyone posted.

Greyhound/Rottie mixes!?

Wow! I never saw that coming?
Did you see the mom and dad? I wonder if they were mixes themselves. (Greyhound mix and Rottie mix)

I agree with you Angie. I might be blind, but I cant see any rottie. I do see pit bull though. The wrinkles in the forehead and the eyes remind me a lot of Ebonys. Escribador posted a picture of one of the dogs in dog general when she was a pup. I could really see the pit bull. I could be wrong though I'm not all that good at guessing dog breeds.

She sure is an adorable girl!

I didn't even try to guess! I just came to say, Eris and Grace, what precious puppy girls you are and I hope you grow up to be beautiful (well, remain beautiful!), healthy and enjoy long, happy lives! I bet you like to take walks and run, run, run! Please don't run near the street, though, okay? Maybe your people will give you a pet for me because you are SO CUTE!!!

[Freedom]

wow how nice that you got 2 for company!

So where are you located? Welcome to PT!

We saw pics of the mom and she was alllll Rottie. She looked to be pretty big too. We did not, however, get a pic of dad so we have to take it on the word of the family who had them.

Now, I have found one other set of pictures online of this same mix of breeds.
They are on Flickr here. If you go to the second page he has some pics of Kali when she was a puppy, and pics fo her litter to. They definitley look like our girls. Also gives me some idea how big they might get too.

As a side note, my Dad made a good joke when I told him about the pups. I told him the mix and he said "Well the mom would have to be the Rott. I don't think it would have worked the other way around."

It's funny, in the first picture you posted, her eyes and expression say "Greyhound" to me, but in the older pictures you posted, I don't see it nearly as much. Let me get Shais_mom over here, I bet she'd see the same, as a former Greyhound owner!
