There are sites dedicated to this mix on the internut. Most of my searches were about Jack Rabbit hunting, one of my great pleasures in life and I came across people breeding Lurchers to course Jackrabbits. Coursing Yotes is a likely crossover, Yotes are quick.
If you look at the skull, many breeds have some Greyhound in there, the skull shape is kind of a tip off (indicator). Other than that you'd have to do a red blood cell count and check heart size or do genetic testing. The skull shape is old school, but a likely tell tale.
Yea they are both quick dogs. I am really thinking about getting one if I can find one for sale. Because I start of using them for rabbit then we I get a few use them for yotes. I would probably use that dog along with the dog I have know to hunt rabbits just to get a feel for them.
