Been there before, happened once with lurchers in trailer and they travelled all season together never any bother and lost good hound at mark one day.

I think the bitch they had might of been just coming on,poor dog had no chance, it was a real nice natured hound.

That’s the thing with cut copy a paste ain’t it sandy queer you can use anything to further your own point, experience is better than cut an paste tho, surely you agree if you’d looked a bit further you’d have found better vids I’m sure but they wouldn’t have furthered your attempt to ridicule the guy, an after all the ridicule you get aswell thought you’d have been a bit more welcoming

 

I know the title says "Greyhound Wolfhound", but I'd guess they are "Coyote Hounds" with a mixture of breeds in them.

They didn't look that impressive at the job,  hard to tell on a video, but didn't look like any of them was keen to go for a throat hold, as Dan Edwards might describe as " pencil necked, ass bitin' curs " LOL !

Cheers.

They could run tho, an if yo look through YouTube there is umpteen vids on there Wolfhound  crosses an most look like nice lurchers, not Saying they can graft, but let’s face it not all lurchers can graft either an like guy said it’s his time, so if he wants to try one then he’s luck to him, I can’t slate anybody’s choice of dog, I own a halfx

In not knocking anyone's choice of dogs. My post is just my own opinion, and a bit tongue in cheek .

Its almost impossible to find a decent working deerhound these days, never mind a working wolfhound, but best of luck to the guy if that's their choice.

I hope they keep us updated, it'll be interesting.

Cheers.

Saw a Scottish deerhound doing what it was breed for fishing a loch on a Scottish Island a tourist had one off the lead he ran round a huge boulder and out the other side came a red stag who had been lying up, was a joy to watch stag had to make for the water the big boy was flying over the heather, stag made it and swam across the loch an made its escape.

Where I live it is hard to avoid Deer as one side has an abundance of Sika while other end has Red Deer, accidents have been known to happen.

Good luck to you, looks like an Interesting cross, I have seen footage of Maximus Decimus Meridius using them single handed on the Celts.

Lovely looking pup that pp. And if, like you say, you used the smaller, nimbler type of hound, I don't think there's any reason that it shouldn't be pretty useful

In the uk putting wolfhound in to any running dog for work is pointless if offers nothing as we already have ingredients in Lurchers doing every uk quarry  sat there in front of us tested....

I’d rather have one of those wolfhound greyhound pups than pups out of some of the more popular breeds I’ve seen

i wasn't ridiculing anyone just putting up a link of a wolfhound running as part of a discussion, its what happens on forums, at least with grown ups lol.

If it retrieved the Lochness monster it would impress me.

Sure your lurcher wont take a fox... so yours is definitely lacking ingredients fella.
