Confused

[doxhope 2]

Hi Welshwizard he is 35tts it's like watching a tanker turn.

 

Canny size Helen, but Ive had a pure deerhound that killed 27 rabbits in one nights work, and also took bolting rabbits in the daylight. One bitch I had also won through to the semi finals of a lamping copmpetition against lurchers..so their not all that bad.

But, an average lurcher is probaly better than a good deerhound for rabbits..and theres plenty of them knocking about now, hope you get what you are looking for

I joined the forum as I have given up with my Deerhound, he's too big to turn fast enough, and I wanted info on which cross to buy for hunting rabbits, day time and lamping. Well after reading for several months I still have no idea and am more confused than when I joined lol.

try somthing small for rabbit,bed cross collie x both would be sound for bunnies but no good for out else deerhound x far to big for rabbits

Hi Doxhope, I waited thirty years to get my Deerhound so settled for a show line dog, he looks more Wolfhound and hasn't really got a lot of interest in hunting. He is a lovely dog but I wish I could have found a working line dog, mine also has allergy problems.

I do not know what I am talking about so nobody take offence! But I really like the look of the Bullx, fantastic muscle tone and I think stunning dogs. I have noticed a few disagreements on here re bullx, why, have they got temperament problems.

cos there full of pit terrier not a social dog in general,but when sorted out cant be beaton allround machines

Yip Helen, there is a big gulf between working deerhounds and show deerhounds..not just in size..

Thats a shame about the Bullx not being social, amazing looking dogs but I don't think I want to take on another dog that is such a responsibility. Can you get them Staffy crossed or wouldn't they be any good.

get a whippet grey or something just as good, if your after a smooth coated dog.

So many crosses to choose from, have decided next time someone offers me a lurcher pup or I see one offered for rehoming I'll go for that. Problem of choice solved as long as it's got good feet it's mine.

Great bitch for rabbits, collie/grey deer/saulk, great on the turns, brings them back alive, very easy to train, and a joy to work, ya cant go wrong with collie hound.

 

Irish lurcher, thats a cracker of a dog, very nice
