the top one was a very good dog till he past in the field and the next one is his nephue

If they never took fox,that would be possibly down to their entering or poor breeding,compared to a purpose bred hare dog the vast majority of rough coated lurchers will come second.The Deerhound-Grey

ones we had in the eighties never took fox we used them for hare rabbit pheasants etc , not bad dogs , but no big shakes compared to the purpose bred hare dogs nowadays

If they never took fox,that would be possibly down to their entering or poor breeding,compared to a purpose bred hare dog the vast majority of rough coated lurchers will come second.The Deerhound-Grey/Collie-Grey was bred as an allrounder,to fulfill a multitude of tasks,something the right ones excelled at,as a fox and venison dog,in the past,they more than held their own and on the heavier,rougher terrain had few equals.As in all other lurchers its usually poor training and entering that results in dogs not attaining their true potential.

I only ever worked bitches of this breeding I usually enter them between 30-40 weeks, and begin to graft them propper at around 42-44 weeks on rabbits, Ive had them killing at 6 month though rabbits,

 

This bitch is the best all rounder of this breeding Ive seen in the last 30years

The black one below is her grand daughter (not as good an all rounder, but killed more rabbits) and the black and tan is her great grand daughter
