doxhope deerhounds


Recommended Posts


Used to run a first cross out of thorn from this line,in the mid 90's,forget about a dog being too tall he was 30 inch tts,and could run well even in confined horse paddocks,also a handy dog for a long slip on a nice big arable field ,be nice to see some bred like they used to be,sure they would become popular again,not for serious rabbit hunters,but for allround day/night work,they were a more than welcome option,this line certainly did'nt have to be 18 months plus to do the job

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasnt this DHxGH line bred much shorter tts than that?

Generally they were, especially the bitches, but with deerhound blood you'll always get some pups growing tall and 30 inches isn't the biggest you'll see.

I've a bitch here 1 of her parents were cooksland and the other was doxhope, and she's only made 26tts

In my opinion that's a good allround size. Have you any pictures of her? What's she like as a worker?

Normally the dogs are 28-30tts and the bitchs 26-28tts but I've seen bitchs at 30tts yrs ago. My mate had some cracking bred pups on here about 2yrs ago out of cocklands dog over a cracking greyhound bitch but got nowt but slated,even though they were cheaper than trevs pups and better bred by the greyhound side.
