I haven't been able to blog for the past few days...as we have a new addition to the family......
Roma has blue eyes and is seven weeks old today. She is a deerhound/greyhound x collie/whippet cross lurcher and is from strong working stock. The collie element in this combination adds intelligence in addition to the blind chasing instinct of the greyhound....she should grow to around 22 inches at the shoulder, and will be used in conjunction with the ferrets and Bob for rabbits, and with guns for pigeons and squirrels.
...Although a working dog she has already charmed her way out of her cage and into our bed....toilet training is slow and her teeth are incredibly sharp....any description would not do her justice.......check out the photos..she was the last and smallest of a litter from Appleby...so it was fate really
