Chalkwarren says the scottish deerhound x went out of favour ,well it was easy to see why the good saluks took over from the coursing , smaller rabbiting dogs purpose built for the job ,like what you keep yourself and others , milder winters at times who needs a big furry dog to overheat and keel over if run hard , and plummer etc made all the books about merle hancocks etc , and realy when you walk in to an estate with a 28 29 inch deerhound lurcher im just chaseing afew rabbs ,they would look at you localy,and there not the guys out there ,to run them on there chosen qaurry to test them hard ,but the [bANNED TEXT] deerhound cross, would not be a bad dog ,one thing i do like about the deerhound type ability to jump without much training at times ,and te bitches make 26 27 inches with the collie and saluk there some make only 23 to 25 and some times not got the weight for to do a job if run hard , as they lack the etc power of a good dog hound at times of the same breed , if i hunted grouse land higher up in scotland i would sonn have saluk deerhound crosses with a good coat and a good gait to get over the heather and guve them running wind to and be more agile

The bitch on the left is 3/4 deer/grey who at past 9 years old now has lost a fair bit of pace but still does a bit although she is worked spairingly now as she is a bit stiff in the morning after a night on the lamp but as long as she is wanting to come out her kennel to graft she will be allowed to do so ......In her day she was up there with the best of them not the fastest ,tightest turning ,best stamina ,gamest bitch out there but just a good honest strong bitch that had the knack of putting gear in the bag ..... a few decent lads saw this bitch work in her day and she was thought highly off by everyone .

IMO it all about getting the right amount and type of deerhound blood in a lurcher and if you get that right you will have a decent animal ....I would have deerhound blood all the time in my dogs it adds a lot of positives to the mix and i cant think of any negatives its horses for courses on my type of ground and quarry a big rugged deerhoundy type siuts my need s.

That young bitch cp seems to have a fair bit knuckle left ....cant wait to hear about this one growing up

Whin i hate to be frank but i am very proud that we are getting them back to be where they need to be

i am a young enthusiast i am 24 years old and have worked these dogs for over half my life and i am proud of what we have done so give it a break and

give us a chance to enjoy a fantastic hunting dog which is growing in popularity some of which is due to our hard work

I wont be responding further to you as you clearly must have been interfered with by a deerhound cross or something

i enjoy reading the site generally however if you worked dogs as much as you spoke about i doubt you would have time to write so much

our results are obvious and our work purposeful not to allow the deerhound to come to the same fate as the wolfhound luckily we caught it in time and it will be saved if nothing else and the great shaggy hound of the hills

will last on long past ourselves and constantly comparing it to a saluki x is wasteful they are completely different i have much respect for any hunting dog however where i live they dont compare to our 1st cross at all even though

they would be better in different ground

as long as we have young enthusiasts getting out then i am happy as well as the deerhound coming back to where it should be

 

 

thanks

How much deerhound blood in a lurcher is enough? Or too much for that matter?

What advantage has the 3/4 deerhound 1/4 grey got over the 1/2 cross--if any?

What about the 1/4 deerhound 3/4 greyhound? What does this cross bring to the table?

IMHO The world beaters are produced [bANNED TEXT] the deerhound cross is bred to other lurcher types the ones i have seen have always been the result of a deerhound/grey put back to a collie grey bitch
