border lad 1,047 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm also looking at getting deerhound/greyhound x, but when breeding is there away of breeding to make sure you get rough haired or is just down to pot luck? I have it in a book somewhere that 1st cross Deerhound x greyhound is ALWAYS smooth if both sides are pure bred. Second cross you can get rough coats. well the ones I saw 95% of them were broken coat, to rough coat, they were a very common breed in those days the Saluki, was not around then, and to reduce the size, they had grey/deer x bedlington/grey, that also was a common breed, advertised, in the exchange and mart every thursday, and also a lot of men wanted a dog with a rough coat,((( they thought they were harder bred dogs, Quote Link to post

I'd like to see a pic of your dog. If I had went for a dog, I would have picked the big, black, rough one with the wide chest, maybe thats the one you got ? Cheers. Quote Link to post
wee gemm hunter 8 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Not trying to Hijack your post noddy10, but could someone say what they add to the cross please? I would reccomend this cross to anyone. I don't own one myself now as the size draws to much attention, they'r only drawback. To answer your question,it adds everything in one dog that you would have to mix with all the other breeds rolled in to one. Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have seen quite a few of this cross run [bANNED TEXT] i used to run a small coursing club in the late 70s to the mid 80s most of the noted deerhound crosses that were very good were always those that had been bred back to collie hybreds.It used to be the case if a said dog looked like say a deer/grey it was called one for coveinience.atb dell Quote Link to post

She is shaping up exactly as I thought she would. Very forward, in fact she tries to bully the other dogs already, at 23 weeks ! Cheers. Quote Link to post

twodogs 1 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 You won't regret getting this cross. Don't work it hard too early, let it mature slowly. Good nose, feet and easy on the eye as well. 1 Quote Link to post
