    People tend to forget that the Deerhound was a Scottish hound to run the open moors and deal with large,fast and quarry little else could come to terms with,sadly id be dubious about any so called pure blood being able to do a quarter of what the original took as the norm. Now i will stand corrected but i believe the deerhound was bred to deal with injured quarry, mainly red deer that had been shot and injured by the early guns of the time which were very inaccurate. I was actually having a cup of tea with a guy who slipped and judged deerhounds for a few years back in the day. They caught

    Mate, I thought this was a wind up too. People are treating it as a joke because youve just said your brand new to the lurcher game yet you're talking about taking on two pups at the same time (training one to a good standard takes a lot of time and patience) and even talking about breeding before youve ever even run a bunny. I appreciate you are probably a decent bloke as youve realised that breeding from young untried stock would be a mistake. Your thread is titled 'bit of advice' so respectfully this would be mine. Take on one pup (maybe a mix with collie and bull in it already if thats wha

    Looks a bit special that one BS, summat about him.....looks like he'll maybe be a handful...but worth it in the end.

    Good for a young dog bein around nippers too, me brothers old bitch was always nervy around them..just wasnt used to em. Is there a drop of bull in that collie cross maybe mate?
  8. Neoleaver

    Bonny bitch that mate, best of luck with her.
  11. Neoleaver
    Shes a cracker mate, put in the time bonding/training and dont start her too young and you'll have a dog that is a pleasure to own and work for years. Dont do it and you'll end up with a pain in the arse liability that will do your head in......you do the maths mate...you know it makes sense...best of luck with her, looks like a good strong healthy pup.
  12. Neoleaver
    Good to see everything went okay pp, shame about the wee pup. All the very best with em mate. The breeding is there the rest is in the hands of fate

    No absolutely mate, you cant eat them...as a young man I thought very differently about hunting....times change and people change, my hunting now is part of an overall strategy of self reliance, to provide meat for the table. Sorry to say I regret some of the indiscriminate killing I did years ago.
  14. Neoleaver
    Like I said mate, she was my best pot filler, just mentioned the fact that she was never interested in vermin control, being older and softer nowadays neither will I when the new pup arrives. You'll have to forgive someone the chance to waffle about long lost, sorely missed dogs....if you ever have dogs that mean as much to you as they did to me you probly wont be as pedantic...atb.

    Had exactly the same thing with my beddy x grew, 3 steps forward and two steps back, learning one day doing well, then 'forgetting' the next. Got there in the end, just seemed hard work cos I'd just done training my colliegrey and with her it was a piece of piss, seemed to anticipate what I wanted her to do, then do it.....Had me thinking I was the f***ing dog whisperer, nowt like a terrier bred dog pup to put your feet back on the ground. good luck wi her mate....crackin pup.

    Has it worked before....to your knowledge? or been a pet.??, Id be extra careful around ferrets till you know. If it hasnt been socialized with em early on you cant blame the dog for not knowing which wee furry critter to jaw on and which to leave alone....all the ingredients for a bad day out there bud.
  17. Neoleaver
    If its a dog pup it'll be closer to the sire in size, if a bitch probably clser to the dam but a bit bigger maybe, hard to say for sure, knowing the size of the sire/dam is usually a good indication! should top out height wise around 18 mth.
  18. Neoleaver
    Ah fantastic, great to see mate, all the best.
  19. Neoleaver
    Dogs look great fella, crackin pic of blue/tan bitch, my kind of breeding too (what does the job x another that does)

    White parents do very occasionally give birth to black children and vice versa....genes will always out no matter how long they are dormant. thats what happened........ There was a lad who grew up near me exactly the same, everyone used to think he was adopted, he was (or looked) 100% white/european and his mum/dad sisters and brother were all obviously mixed race.....nature works in some weird and wonderful ways at times.

    Just gimme 10 mins to google it

    Its so unlikely that it never happens, but every time the pup encodes a new trait as it develops there is a 50/50 chance it will take from sire or dam side of the genetics, even a pup that looked pure bred or close is always going to have a bit of the genetic make up from both, like I said nature tends towards the most probable but if you have a large enough sample group you'll always get the odd 'freak' the throws heavily one way or tuther, more so with two half bred dogs because its more probable. Youre absolutely right, even if every gene that is active es from the greyhound or collie side
  24. Neoleaver
    With collie on each side its possible to end up with a pure collie..its just highly improbable. Nature tends towards the most probable...what you mention is more of a problem when you breed half crosses together (if youre aiming for a dog simlar to the parents) cos it can tend to swing more heavily either way. good point tho...didnt think the water needed any more mud in it when I first posted!

    ano mate nightmare but need to work it's good though when a arrive cause he's happy to see me it's just his fitness a hate dropping n when he is out he loves it Coming into the summer months now mate, if his fitness isnt A1, nay bother, plenty of time to get him lean and hard for September. If he's fit now two weeks wont make much difference.
