Yes I was thinking you dont see many around that big!! I remember thinking to myself he could give my 25 inch dog a few shakes and that would be it Whar height is he jigsaw he must be 30 inches at the shoulder

Does anyone know if Andy Baron still breeds deerhound crosses? Seen a few handy 3/4 crosses bred by him, they never seemed to throw too big either, useful small types

Foxdog hes 31"tts,I have said allready that I havnt seen these dogs in action,but a mate of mine and a good all round lurcher fan has been down last winter and insists they are decent dogs on the hare and he said I'd be surprised when I see them hunting up with their sense of smell.They flush pheasant all the time they are out,and you know what I'm bleeding looking forward to it.The owners of the deerhounds told me not to expect the lightening fast reaction you'd see from a lurcher but he promised I'd be pleasantly surprised when they get started.To me this is the delights of country sports,I'm in my 40's and I will be experiencing something new,which is what makes it all worthwhile.

Your mates spot on about nose with deerhounds there good at wind scenting i like a bit of genuine deerhound in the mix for that reason.

Now I seem to remember reading many times that deerhounds have very poor scenting ablitity

Some new pics of the brother of the deerhound bitch,this dog has some temper and once riled up hes a determined sort.

The dog takes anything asked of him,although he needs a big place to come up on his hares initially,he jumps ditches and fences for fun.

Here again is his sister below

 

Here is another mate showing his 3/4 deerhound-1/4 grey hound bitch.Shes an all round dog.Has taken hares consistantly and fox with ease, takes good heads of rabbits on the lamp .

seen that dog at the show in waterford really impressive looking dog ,credit to the owner

Doxhope, Ou tof interest, whats the smallest Deerhoundx you have come across? How do the smaller crosses fair on Rabbits?

 

Hi H&B,

if its first cross deerhound x greyhounds your talking about, the smallest ones we have bred were 25 inch (bitches) Ive only bred/kept/worked 2 first crossers, a bitch and a dog, 27 inches and 28 inches respectively. The bitch had more scope as a worker, and when took into rabbit infested areas she regularly got into the hight twenties..I was out with Axel off the Lurchermaina videos one night and saw him get 30, not on a heavily populated rabbit farm so he had to work for them. These crosses may not have the nimbleness required for a great rabbit dog, but they dont muck on, they run with good determination, they have the temperament required to run rabbit after rabbit all night, every night of the week if needed.

Im not a total rabbit man, and I would NEVER keep a dog only for that purpose, I usual find total rabbiting dogs are too light to take bigger quarry and large amounts of graft, deerhound x greyhounds can make decent all-rounders, but for great all rounders, they must be bred down, with something suitable.

Doxhope being new to the deerhounds what would you use to breed down to.I may in time take a pup of deerhound breeding,or mix breeding.I'd be very keen to pick your brains on this matter.
