I think platts dog are better, had a 28in bitch off him about maybe 12/13 years ago ( think it's sire was shooting news) and when it was good it was very good but couldn't upset her or she didn't want to run, done my head in at times but think this bitch will be fine keen as hell all the time. cheers

Trevor w haven't got any pic, doing this on my phone when i get a laptop i'll get some up. Lapin dose yours do a collie creeping thing?

[lapin2008 1,587]

He does but only with the other dog, when he is off the lead and the other dog is coming back from a run, sort of creeps and then charges at him.

I agree lapin, think shy aloof thing comes fae the dam

It may well do mate, thats three out of the litter that were/ar like that. The one that the breeder kept is a bit soft around people as well like mine was apparantly screaming when put on the lead at first haha. Mine used to do the same when I would look at his feet the big woofter!

if you read through this+ the other posts, this x seems have this type of temp, and even though a big dog, dont think they are tough type temp for a dog there siz.? I think they need bit of bull 1/4 , change there temps, just a thought .

Hahaha annoying isnt it? another thing mine used to do was when something got up in front of the other dog and he would start to run the pup would run in front of him and stop, jesus he has been an annoying little shite!

 

I think regards the temperament if you look at him now he is a different animal than he was as a littler pup and thats only at 12 months, in another year i cant imagine a lot stopping him. A bit of bull may help him be a bit through being a bit of a wuss as a pup but I cant imagine that he will need it as an adult. Despite the screaming thing his pain threashold seems pretty high from what I have seen so far. the screaming was more a panicking thing as a pup

Another thing about adding bull is he is already 80lbs and thats before he has bulked up at full maturity, there would be a risk that with aditional bulk from 1/4 bull youmay loose some speed and turn

A decent one entered right will never need the infusion of Bull blood to make it a better dog,a decent one entered wrong will show the shortcomings of the owner,who may wish to breed to a bullx to make up for it.

fair point lads, it was as say just a thought.! But ive seen couple bullxs with touch of deehound in the mix , and were very good dogs, that would take big+ small game easy .

I think that sums it up quite nicely. I think though that because of the wussy esque temperament while growing up they would be potentially easier then some breeds to ruin if run by impatient owners

everyone his entitled to there oppinion but there will be some very good keepers that will beg to differ a touch of bull from the right lines will increase not only the shortcomings of some of these xs but will get a higher ratio of quality animals that are gonna be grafted hard snd yes we have first hand knowledge of both doxehope and platt fis derhound grey xs . atb bunnys.

a mate had one about 13yrs ago, got it of gary hosker, big brindle dog 29inch, he had some wind in him and could run hares well, but was a big yellow b*****d as regards to fox, would tackle them doubled up but on his own he'd stick a yard behind all the way, thinking about it the lad was pretty heavy handed with him in his youth and that probably had a detrimental efect on him, got to the stage where he was scared of his own shadow, but great dog on longears..

you right with the heavy hand , you can cower any dog even full on rotties etc .... . With any type of lurcher x , you got gee them up make them think that they can kill+catch anthing.But some lurchers just dont like being bit , even your old bullx, funny how a small 18lb fox , can make them think twice more so with a big 29in 80lb deerhound x grey .!!

same rules applies that have for generations, the bigger the dog the longer they take to mature both physically and mentally also bitches mature faster than dogs, i have a dog here, no deer hound i may add but he was awfull untill he turned 2 then it was just like someone had swopped him overnight for a more advanced model im quite sure a lot of the larger breeds are messed up and passed on by impatient owners or pts as jackers when the reality was they wernt yet mature enough for the task they were being asked to perform
