Guest bezza Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Do a search. Your question has been covered many times. I would be interested to know the breeder you talk of. Dave Platt perhaps? Edited November 28, 2010 by bezza Quote Link to post
lurcherman 28 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 imho they can be a very handy breed indeed mate only thing ive found from the ones ive seen they take alot longer than most longdogs and lurchers to mature, i do favor the more racey type to the big cloddy type but its each to there own, the ones ive seen were good at there job and had taken all game ( pre ban ) its the same old saying " horses for corses " it all depends on the game and ground you are running, Quote Link to post
