some of the best we have had were rockenhart serious hounds we still have the breeding now crossed to doxhope

Ya we have rockenhart deerhounds

Ya we have rockehart deerhounds

Whin i hate to be frank but i am very proud that we are getting them back to be where they need to be i am a young enthusiast i am 24 years old and have worked these dogs for over half my life and i am proud of what we have done so give it a break and give us a chance to enjoy a fantastic hunting dog which is growing in popularity some of which is due to our hard work I wont be responding further to you as you clearly must have been interfered with by a deerhound cross or something i enjoy reading the site generally however if you worked dogs as much as you spoke about i doubt you would

3 lads still working the deerhound and getting the results after personally 12 years of breeding and working these hounds its a shame that in general the press is bad but it is deserved the drive has been pushed out by the show ring and what was a great celtic working hound our own type of hound for our own country is about to be lost and we must import saluki's and the like which i admire and think are a great dog but we are losing our own breed three normal lads from ireland have been working on getting the breed back hunting them and driving on not worried about shows in fact

Jigsaw did you not see molly or rebel across the heather

first cross do the lot pure breeds in general the bigger stuff but mine are tidy so they have a run at most stuff not saying they always take them but give them a go cheers R.

Irish croud seem to have the pick at the moment all from similar lines a lot of good 1st crosses also putting it up to the saluki cross this side of the water different style of running best bitch i have seen run this side of the water 1st cross Deer X Grey deerhound sire doxhope rockenhart lines dam top bred coursing greyhound incredible bitch I have bred & run deerhounds for a long time here and across the water great dog with the right breeding and handling

see what happens liam,if she dont have the lung she'll be know good for the land i hunt boy,big land with big strong hares,i know smallish land with gud hares aswell that will test yur saluki x That bitch will be alright

Im very surprised to hear this..I bred from so called "working" purebred deerhounds,on two ocassions and produced pure shite. No disrespect but I dont think the young lad needs advice like that. fair enough you got a bad one did you see the deerhound work or just take it was working stock sometimes you have to be care full and do a little research especially when dealing with a breed that can in some cases be badly bred ive hunted and bred my own 1st cross and pure breeds for 12 years and my lurchers will do all required my pure bred deerhounds have determination and ability

in Ireland handy working deerhound bitch medium coursing greyhound dog never failed me yet however i usually pick a bitch from the litter to keep the size down for the bunnies the choice of the deerhound in this cross is the most important thing for sure ie a purebreed that has taken all quarry you wish to hunt cant beat hybrid vigour in my opinion

i had a pure breed from him great bitch breed off and have a great dog

jim i have a working bred deerhound who most certainly does NOT have greyhound outcross thanks whats the breeding mate any ardkinglas

i would think any of my pure deerhounds would put it up to a pure saluki especially on the bigger species breed for the purpose do the job they were made for very well on any terrain not saying they are the best just they can do the job very well day in day out any size ,any terrain
