[watchman 256]

im after a new dog and want to go with a deer hound x,been reading up on them, temperament,stamina, good feet and prey drive with a good nose etc so ideally i want the dog around 25/26tts so just want some advice on what cross i should be looking at,1/4 deer hound maybe?i dont know but want to get this sort of height out of the dog,also run a few golf courses so want something a bit quick off the mark so to speak but not to worried as this is only a small percentage of the land i run,yes i know dogs of 28/29tts can still pick up the bunnies just wanting something a tad smaller really what would your advice be to go with cheers

In my experience golf courses offer the fastest running going and if you are running that type of ground or anywhere with lots of short grass you need a very fast, light, quick turning dog and would be better off with a greyhound/whippet or similar for that sort of running. I'm a deerhound/greyhound owner, breeder and enthusiast but I think you are choosing the wrong tool for the job and should think again. I have given up running golf courses after killing several dogs on them, the speeds are so great that its just too easy to kill a dog for my taste.

see what your saying mate but the golf courses really are only a small part of it,the rest of the ground is a bit rough to say the least,if it was only golf courses,and yes lost a few dogs on them myself over the years,then i would go with your suggestion thanks mate

 

so what would you suggest for lets say a bit of a general all-rounder then mate?
