laad 10 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi lads a friend is looking for a new pup and he just showed me this ad: http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/dogs/4259943 Are they worth buying? I was also wondering why someone breed a 7/8 deerhound like the sire? atb Quote Link to post
Mixed Bag 603 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 any pup you buy off someone you dont know when you havent seen the parents run is a gamble it all depends what your looking for from the dog i would say 100 is not a lot of money to risk its more the time you put in if it doesnt make the grade its a year or so wasted out your life 1 Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 What does he want to use the pup for Laad? They look nice enough pups in the photos but could grow into heavy chunky "foxing" types rather than rabbiters. If you do go to look at them, ask what work the parents do or ask on the phone.

laad 10 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Maximus, he wants it for rabbits and foxes on lamp and retrieving crows. Ya I was thinking they'd be fair heavy; it's his choice though. I presume they'll all be rough coated? Quote Link to post
