Rhodesian Ridgeback cross???

Anyone ever use any dogs with a bit of this breed in them, a mate of mine has a fine example and reckons if I lethis dog cover my lurcher, the results would be unreal dogs for bursting foxes, I think he's just tryin to get his dog laid.

There's loads of crosses that are bursting for fox

I realise that, I was asking about RRcrosses only though and whether anyone has ever owned one or seen one working foxes.

I wouldn't bother myself. It's defeating the object of why you had her, bet she goes like stink and can turn on a button..what would RR add to the mix? Not a lot I don't think. The quite big dogs.

I have one. Didn't get him for hunting, just took him in as he needed a home and I had space in front of the fire.

He has been a good dog though, and still has a fair turn of speed on him even though he is now 11 and a little overweight.

Thanks Rob, I've no real intention of breeding her at the moment she's 3 now but maybe when she's 5 or 6 I might get a litter from her, my line of thinking with the RR cross was for strictly foxing dogs where power and quick finishing of quarry would be a handy and high speed wouldn't be everything.

[robwelsh 354]

Put a greyhound or a deerhound x greyhound over her lol there won't be much that will get there quicker or finish them off any quicker lol my bitch is pretty much.a greyhound with dh temp and I can't see much living with her lol

i looked after a first cross for a couple of weeks a few years ago. i use to take it to some local fields and let it off the lead and you could just watch it run in a straight line until it got to the hedge then it would just run round the field untill it decided it wanted to come back to you lol. it was faster than i thought for a heavy looking dog. dont know what it worked like but they didnt keep it long.

i had one...

could be dog aggressive , would bite you if he didnt know you ..

he was a deer dog , would catch rabbits and bring them back live to hand ..

he had good stamina ..

he lacked courage when he met foxes , if he was run with another dog he would watch the other dog do all the work ...

i would not buy another dog of this breed as imo there is far better crosses out there

This is mine. Far as I know he is a first cross Ridgeback Greyhound. Has a bit of a thing for sheep which is why he was given up. Not sure if that could be a trait of the breeding so it would pay to be cautious. Doesn't matter for us as I don't work him and my little girl just has him as a pet.

That surprised me! Made a tidy enough looking dog.

He's not bad but not really my type as I have my Sals. Was looking for a companion quite a few years back for my collie x and he was looking for a home and my daughter adores him. That pic was taken a couple of years back. We can't get him out as much now as he suffers with arthritis (he is 11) and as he is neutered as well he is getting a bit on the heavy side. Buggar to fit a collar to. Small head and thick neck and chest. They slide right off if youre not careful!
