Recommended Posts


These in my eyes are the best dog ever for all round hunting, I had similar way bred lurchers for many, many years, the animals I had you just couldnt sicken, a profit hunters dream, start early, work till old age hunted them every week of the month every month of the year with hardly ever a sick note to stop them..Mint cross

My first was was from a first cross deerhound x greyhound bred by a guy in Burnley in the 70`s, and put to a collie cross lurcherxlurcher, I picked the smallest bitch from the litter, she was 23 and a half inches and remains the BEST all round lurcher bitch Ive owned, or seen. Some breedings when cross breeding just work better than others, this is one of those crosses that consistantly work..If I was starting again, I wouldnt fear getting a pup from a first cross d/g x first cross c/g..and starting a line from this

i would prefer mine with a bit less collie in it and more deerhound the pup on the 2nd pick has got a lot more collie in than his uncle in the top pick and he had a hi percentage of collie to dh blood in him but was still a very good dog but we will sea haw this pup turns out

 

Totally agree, not a lover of collie crosses by themselves, especially first crossers, I always went more towards the deerhound I must say, but then again way back in the deerhounds past there was collie blood, go to much towards the collie and your stock will be coarse, heavier boned and if the dog you keep is under 24 inches will be cloddy and restricted in what it can do, ok for ferreting, but for hares away from lamping and the corn cuttings it will be limited..All my dogs that I kept were 23-24 inches, about 40-45lb in weight, perfect for all rounders..
