i was just curious is all. i think your friend is dead right about danes, most of the larger bred danes (which is most of them now) aren't very physically sound from what I've researched. I'd look for something on the small end of the breed standard (which is what i have) if you're going american bred. I also think you're definitely right about the hybrid vigor would fix up the greyhound. i could see a greyhound x bull/bird dog cross would be a bang up cross, imo. i know the australians use a lot of greyhound crosses. i'm curious about a greyhound x dogo myself.
let me see if i can get my stupid camera to work......it'll take pics but it's not saving them to the card or the internal memory

gonna have to send it in.
