    Lads I had them many years ago,they were the best at that time,i had a small rough Russell bitch,she was very game,she would hunt cover all day and if by chance she put a fox to ground she had no problem going in after it,as I said she was small but she was a sounder as I called her,i crossed her with a friends patterdale dogma very hard dog and at that time his patterdale looked like it had a bit of bull in him,he was as hard as nails,no backing off from anything,but he was a hospital case as he was laided up for about 6 weeks after every outing,so we put the two together and I got 3 red Russ

    Hi all, I am on the lookout for a small patterdale to cover a gamey Russell bitch for a friend of mine,this Russell is used just for the cover and has a great tongue and nose,she is not big enough for a fox but has bolted many for lurchers,she is roughly about 7 to 8 inches tall and has been bred from worker to worker,she has only come into season now so I am advertising for a stud,must be in Ireland .thanks for looking..

    I have seen a few deerhound x greyhound first cross around,a power house of a animal,guy in meath bred a liter of 5 pups last year,3 dogs and two bitches,dogs were sold and went up north and one bitch went down to Cork and the breeder kept a bitch back for himself,i meet him on the road a few times,his bitch is turning out to be a lovely first cross,maybe this year it will see a bit of action with a hare of two.

    Thanks lads,yes big changes in everything,when I was growing up and starting off with lurchers,the top lurcher was a 3/4 bred collie greyhound or the first cross deerhound greyhound,big enough to take a fox or hare,and loads of brain for rabbits day or night,but now I read its all saluki or bull,.....and most lurchers have a bit of bull in their makeup.

    Hello for co Meath,Ireland, I have been away from the hunting game a long time,i spent a lot of my early days from 13 to 21 years of age hunting hares with lurchers,ferretting rabbits with nets[purse and long nets]digging and bolting foxes to lurcher or gun and a bit of bushing with a few terriers, Wow what a great life when i was young free and single and not a care in the world,but sadly times have changed and now 40 years on and close to retirement i have acquired myself a young lurcher pup,[first cross collie x greyhound]and i always kept a couple of russells for a bit of ratting
