wheaten 47 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 ask wheaten about these,hes the daddy. daddy lol i had a collie greyhound x fellhound she was a great finder and often found before the full bred hound she would go through the thickest of cover and could kill a fox single handed. down fall she hardley ever spoke and it was only in the later years did she speak alittle. she provided us with some great sport.

Dunkanon 380 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Dunkanon, are you saying that lurcher is 1/4 greyhound ? If it is it came very racey indeed. no mate, the breeding is something like this grey/welsh collliexgrey/welsh foxhound...and if you dig deep enough there a dash of saluki somewhere....lol Quote Link to post

Wales1234 5,570 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Would love to get my hands on 1 of these Xs any about? Quote Link to post
stevemac 445 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have a bull stag bitch I'd love to put an airedale or foxhound over . She is an unbreakable little bitch that loves to hunt and catch a fox she lacks a little push in the real thick cover and perhaps a bit of pace out in the open relying on her drive to get a job done. perhaps a foxhoundxgreyhoud would suit her better. I've owned foxhounds and had a love/hate relationship with them, these foxhound lurchers seem just the go for the thick massive swamps we hunt. 1 Quote Link to post
