Although they are not Deerhound Cross', the Staghounds over here carry alot to the old type Deerhound, before the KC buggered them up...the sire to my male pup, is imo, what a Deerhound should look like and work like.

Judgeing buy the discription when you read historical writing about the Deerhounds, the Staghounds (that i have seen) are basicly what a Deerhound should be.

Kye..

I've had several and had good results with them.  I lost a very good young deerhound X dog to a lamping accident this last season. He was about 27" at the shoulder and he put a lot of venision and other stuff in the freezer in his short career. At the moment I have a 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound bitch pup (the deerhound is from Platt's Odin) I deliberately picked the biggest bitch pup in the litter and at 8 months old she's 27 ½" at the shoulder at the moment and just shy of 70lbs.  I guess that she will go another ½" or so and make just about the perfect size for what I want. She has thrown strongly to the deerhound and has a huge thick rough coat and brilliant feet and is showing considerable all round promise with that wonderful ability to find game seemingly from nowhere.
