Lost Generation 93 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Most first crosses and in fact most 3/4 bred deerhound greys are going to be broken coated and in fact the rough coat which hides scars and provides a bit more protection is one of the many reasons (like brains, nose, good feet, good conformation, laid back temperament, superb natural hunting ability, speed, stamina etc) for preferring deerhound greys over most other types of dog, particularly bull crosses. There's lots of information on this site about them and I'm sure that if you either use the search facility or scroll back through the pages of the lurcher forum you will find plenty of information to help you make up your mind. My experience is that contrary to rumour deerhound greys generally start work ealrier than bull crosses and are perfectly capable of killing large game by a year old or less. Quote Link to post
killing crew 2,708 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 my pals got 1st cross deerhound greyhound and its the cleverest dog ive seen. its got a great sense of smell and in rough land catchs hares all day long. only falut we had her in big land and it was not for the dog. also its been stuck into a red doubled up. i am a saluki man myself but all depends were your running your dog.

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 any pikz anyone ??? Thorne 43 on this site has a 1st cross only one out of the litter thats got a smooth coat thats probably the only deerhound x ive seen what i would own, crackin pal and liam imo stick with the bull xs much better allround dogs, the only good 1 ive seen was a deerhound grey x wheaton grey 30tts Have you seen this dog work, or are you going on its appearance. It is a sweet looking beast, and I find that some of the bull x’s are a tad to slow. I did own this x and found it lacking in speed, but each to their own I say. A good Wheaton x and you have the perfect all rounder imo. Quote Link to post
