Can imagine its shit filling a canvas bag raw mate and weighing a ton

[gamerooster 1,179]

they cross them over bullmastiff in aussie land to use on pigs, but bar that I have not heard of them being worked, no offence to you aussie lads, but some of the breeds I have seen in your lurchers, is lets say............different!!!

 

But there dogs work for them although different styles of hunting to here

 

No doubt about it, but I just wonder why so many different breeds, when a couple in a cross would do just aswell???

Just what people have tried and worked for them , I've seen a few of Ausnick's pics and he keeps some nice dogs even one with Borzoi in

Yeah I heard of them using Borzoi's, one of the few unpopular breeds over here that I would love to see to work

In his dreams !!! LOL !!!

 

This lad has Wolfhound in him, and CAN do fox ;

 

 

Cheers.

Ive never seen a wolfhound run but imo a wolfhound defies the purpose of a lurcher to fill the pot in hard times where a wolfhould would most likely eat you out of house and home.

 

 

[Rogue and running dog 26]

That's not what they were bred to do when ye breed originated! Dog for a job and as a breed it doesn't have one anymore not over here anyway

I dont think theres hardly any original wolfhound blood in wolfhounds these days... I recollect reading an article by colonel david handcock that mentioned in passing that wolfhounds are a recreated breed using some deerhound and great dane blood

[bird 10,014]

as been said they use them in Oz , but unless there differnt to the i/w in the rest of the world, lol they would be waste of time to use for a hunting dog. I reckon, what they use in Oz are (not) pure i/w and have deerhound in there make up, they prob more like stags that are in the USA .

[stevemac 445]

Hmm pur breed they are mostly to big for most game yet they have a great nose and breed down in size are very handy in a pigdog. Many a foxdog over her also have got wolfhound in their blood I have a bitch that is 29 to the shoulder her make up is Sire kangaroodog(old line of wolfhound xgreyhound x deerhound dam deerhoundxgreyhound she is she is a good strong dog good speed and plenty of nose for anything we hunt.

[Lampalurcher 47]

I had one at home as a pet but they only live to 7 or eight but she Cought the odd rat around the chicken hutches but missed more than she Cought by a long way just had it as a pet I could walk her when I was eight an she never pulled at all real gentle giants

[Ausnick 190]

The real reason people had pure wolfhounds over here was for chasing kangaroos when it was legal, kangaroos aren't really agile at all so an agile dog isn't needed, but the stronger the dog the handier. Just going off what I've read...
