lb you will look a fool with a deer/grey it will be bigger and heavier than you i dont think you'd be able to hold it on a slip oj lol i like the deer/grey but i think youd be better with some collie in the mix say a deer/grey x collie/grey

 

Interested what you think Collie brings to the table

A deerhound greyhound should be perfect for what you want and it's nice to see a youngster thinking about getting something other than a bull cross. Don't just restrict yourself to a first cross though, it would also be worth thinking about a 3/4 grey / 1/4 deerhound or a line-bred deerhound greyhound pup because there are a lots of dogs out there which have been bred deerhound/grey to deerhound/grey for a number of generations and which produce very typy dogs that generally do the job well.

 

Just remember, deerhound greyhounds are superb natural hunters and given the time and space to learn and work things out for themselves will deliver far more than most would think possible. They are much, much more than just point and slip dogs and if you put in the time and effort to get out and about with the dog and allow it to learn then it will repay you richly.

Lost Generation, thanks mate good post and really appreciated! Just what I wanted to hear aswell..

I'm really Into my Bulls and been around them since I was a toddler and owned a couple but I'm after a pot filler and I can think of better breeds to do that job rather than the Bull x although I can understand why people own and work them.
