Plenty of them here in Australia. Fella here has been breeding a line of them for 30+ years with some very heavy culling. Good dogs for hunting cover, swamps and blackberries where they only have short runs but where they have to run over 500 yards they can be found to be a bit wanting.

iv only seen one but it wasn't working....but it was one helluva size and i would have thought very capable of the big stuff

Seen one in the seventies, good looking bitch,bumped into the guy one morning said he had four hares in his bag, more like hotair in it,if you were carrying four hares I think the bag would have looked a bit bulky to say the least, but the bitch certainly looked the part.

Not for nothing ...but why cross the two ? An Airedale is an exceptional dog, and a greyhound is great at what he does ... why feck with it ?

That really surprises me as my Airedale has incredible stamina: she'll run with the lurchers all day and never looks tired. I know that she's nowhere near fast enough to run down a healthy rabbit on top, but her work ethic is unstoppable: maybe they don't like hot climates?

Had a few nights out on the lamp with one a couple of years ago, and found it to be a very handy dog.

well im going to have a go with it hes 11 month old and stands at 25tts bit on the heavy side though but what it mite lack in speed should hopefully make up for in the other department . has anyone seen them on the big fellas ive been told the mother to the dog was a red line airdale from america which they use in a pack on boars so id like to think he shouldnt struggle but if anyone knows otherwise let us know.
