springer/ hound first cross any sucess

[borderland 0]

I have a fox hound bitch which I am considering putting a springer dog over for good fox baiting pups. I have only seen one of these types of dog working and it is a clinker. Its only fault is it is mute, i.e doesnt bark after quarry. Has anyone had any dealings with this type of breeding?

Ive experience of welsh hound x springers which came from carmarthen, they didnt throw even, the 3 I seen 2 were like big springers, one was like a pure welsh hound. Not my cup of tea, not worth the effort, better off with a beagle over it imo if you want to bring the size down.

a hunting mate bred a litter springer bitch x fox hound these threw uneven also 4 very hound like 2 small 2 large 1 nearly a springer none spoke too well but did hunt up the springer look alike was hunting fox at 7 months . think they are ok for flushing game ect but for proper hunts cant beat full hound , good luck.
