Apparently the bitch is a greyhound x collie and the sire a Irish Wolfhound x Whippet (hope the whippet was the male!). He's probably going to broken coated, maybe rough, and his longer hairs are grey so I think he will become much greyer. Funnily although Rio is dark with a grey longer coat...
This is Bertie, a 12 week old lurcher pup who I was fostering for Greyhound Gap. He was with us for a week as a foster and has now become a permanent member of our gang:
