Deerhound x greyhound


Recommended Posts

Deerhound, greyhound and collie in the mix will make a nice Lurcher. If they didn't often throw big I would have one.

 

Yes they will; but if you thought you were buying a Deer/Grey that would be the size you were after, only to find out you'd got a Collie x, you might just feel a litle aggrieved ! :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

Well Dan; I brought in a 1st cross Deer/Grey to do a specific job that my 23" lurcher was having a struggle with. She does the job EXACTLY as I wanted. Why didn't I go for a Lurcher x Lurcher to do the job, I hear you ask; well, it may be different where you are, but there are a lot of breeders here who will simply tell you what you want to hear !! I know someone who bought a "Line bred Deer/Grey x", and when it only made 24", they went back to the breeder, who told them; "Oh, I forgot ! There is also Collie in the line" !! Getting a 1st x, you at least have a good idea what they will turn out like !! And if they are doing the job they were bred and brought in for, that will do for me !! :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

 

So you are sayin that a person who brees this first cross cant lie to you also?

So if you lived near me and seen my male dog and my female take game consistantly would you want a pup off them? Or would they not be good enough cuz they are NOT a genuine half cross deer grey?

 

Edited to put the not in there.

Whats the problem if somone wants a first x?

 

I think it's silly to breed two dogs together that cant do what you are wanting the offspring to do and thats 99% of what first crosses are.

 

Edit to say that now if you show me a greyhound that can consistently catch the hares over there on the fens and a deerhound that can consitantly pull down fallow bucks then I'm all in for a that litter of first crosses.

If I saw your dogs doing what I wanted, then of course I'd want one ! What you need to understand Dan, is that there is, I bet, far more Lurcher breeders and workers, PER CAPITA, here in the UK than there is in the 'States. Everyone and his brother are breeding shit !! A guy gets a bitch of his mate, who has been told it's bred one way and he breeds it with a dog he's got from the pound, and then advertises them as somthing that they aren't !! All I'm saying, is if I get a dog from genuine parents, say a Deerhound and a Greyhound; at least I have a good idea what it will be ! I also have a Lurcher x Lurcher in my kennel, and have owned pures, and crosses of many types, but in this instance I wanted a dog to do a job, and the 1st x Deer/Grey fitted the job. :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

i tried 1 an yes it caught smaller game, but not as good as a smaller dog an if its big game ye are or were after(before the ban, or abroad) then there are definalty smaller dogs, 23/24/25/26 that can an do catch the same species as the bigger deerhoundx, only reason i can think of folk keeping deerhoundx's over other types of lurchers is they like the type, an nowt to do with work. i liked the deerhound attitude, but if i was ever to have another it would deffo be an deerhound type lurcher x deerhound type lurcher, as the 1st x an even most of teh 3/4 breds are just too big :thumbs:
