presume he means big fields poacher, not much cover or hedge. first cross grey collie is good mix stamina and speed, and though im no a big fan of them saluki x always shows good stamina too in my opinion.

i ve kept bull greyhounds for a few years and can t fault their drive or stamina but the best all round dog i ve seen was a bedlington whippet greyhound bitch about 23 tts. it was a while ago now but she would do daytime hare , fox single handed and draw with the terriers. she would walk along the lane then dive in the hedge and get a pheasant. bigger quarry she was just as game on. we tried 2 good dogs over this bitch but the progency never amounted to anything.
