Guest dances Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 ive never had or seen a dog that will do all 5 single handed, but the ones my dad had and the ones his friends had always seemed to be deerhound x's and collie's. that was even when the bull crosses came in. however he did have a few very good bull crosses and one was an alrounder. this was early 's though Quote Link to post
csme55ex 2 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 yer iv been told bullxs are quiet good allrounders by a few people Quote Link to post
Guest dances Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 i wouldnt have one as an allrounder, they are better for specific jobs Quote Link to post

the great white hunter 1 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 my opion on an allround dog is deerhound crosses they grow to good sizes and have a good bit of stamina Quote Link to post
jay_h 2 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 any of these... 3/4 grey 1/3 wheaton, 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy, 3/4 grey 1/4 collie or 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound could make good allrounders i think. cheers, jay. Quote Link to post
Guest DogFaceKillah Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 ive got a 3/4 bull grey that im looking after coming up to 12 month looking very promising, hopefully shell do all game Quote Link to post
Guest miller1989 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 So its rabbits hares foxes deer in my opinion any dog that knows its job will do it.If its game enough and taught correct cants see any problem.I prefer and 3/4 1/4 bred dog light fast agile etc perfect for all the above quarry.half crosses etc are a touch heavey but you may find a few that are good enough for more than there specific jobs!

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 rabbit, hare, fox and roe deerhound x greyhound or a 3/4 bred Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,164 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 you would never get the ultimate all rounder.....but you might get a dog that does well in your chosen sport and also trys hard at other game. For example my saluki x, is a good all rounder....but not 100% perfect. pre ban he can take 3 n 4 hares a day, takes deer well and i took him foxing and ferreting.......but even though he tries 100%, i would be a fool to say he catchs as many rabbits as some wippet X's do and the same with specialists bred fox dogs. On the other hand my mates dog catchs fox after fox, and retrieves rabbits live to hand. But even though his dog has had many hares he would never dream of matching it against my dog, especially where 100 yard plus slips are the norm....You see, a lot of good dogs will catch all quary but it would be imposible to be 100% in all fields. As long as they give us some good sport though thats all that matters. Quote Link to post
