Some sort of sighthound (greyhound maybe) and Pit?

That's exactly what I was going to say.
But would a pit and greyhound be loose and in a farm area?

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 saw differently

I think the muzzle is very greyhound like and the body shape (in the running picture) Especially with Eris. Their ears, wrinkles and big sticky feet made me think pit.
Well anyways we kind of got it right
