that bitch looks great a credit to you tc,she looks like she is ready for any hare any time,would love to see the deerhound cross that could beat her,

just because it looks the part doesnt mean it is and she looks a fine dog but no one can say that one breed is better are worse than another its what inside a dog that counts no matter what breed

there not obviouisly everyones cup of tea , but im happy with mine , thats what matters to me , the post was started for a question what people think , which i have gave my opinion no one else has really , just caried on bout the deerhound ect , IMO deerhound x's are fine on hares , and anything bigger i dont thnk another dog comes close to them , mine picks up rabbits easily turns and picks up no trouble , so instead of more posts givin **** bout deerhound x's how bout doin what the lad asked , give OPINIONS on what breed YOU think would be best . now ive giving mine , i didnt wanna start a whole debate on what deerhounds can and cant do , i already no what they can do and what is my dogs limits .

 

cheers

and no one knows whats inside a dog like the people that run these hares,these dogs have been matched time and time again,

Line bred salukis, havent ever seen anything come close to these on daytime winter hares on the big land..

[Tommy 9]

As Top Chalker says if you want a dog that REGULARY CATCHES hares running single handed on both big and small land then your going to be going for a saluki lurcher.

I'm not saying 1st cross saluki greyhounds dont do the job, i saw a real good one that had the right mixture of speed and stamina (and was a genuine 1st cross) but most of the time they through to the greyhound and lack stamina.

 

As for deerhound crosses ......... well from the ones i've seen as a hare dogs i havent seen a good un, seem to lack stamina and are usually exposed by good hares around january time when their at the strongest. Thats what i've seen only though

 

All the best Tommy

Personally ,and tentatively because Ive been brought to book on this before ,you cant beat the SIGHT of a pure greyhound on puss .The exsplosive burst of muscle and snapping strike is what coursing is about.
