A lad i know had a labxgrey years ago and she was good on them took loads of stuff, maybe a freak maybe not, a young lad at the time round here had a 3/4 grey 1/4 alsation she took plenty for him aswell as all quarry she was a good bitch.

Like you say no fen dogs lol, they were just good alrounders but could do a couple on biggish land back in the day.

A Mick Douglas [r.i.p] bred dog my mate had 30 odd years ago these were free of saluki blood and were reputed to be good fen dogs though [bANNED TEXT] saluki was added to them they did become outstanding hare catchers.

When a was young my Grandfather ran a 3/4 greyhound 1/4collie on hares all the time and she filled the pot regular
