Thars the only bad think I heard was the mature part but bet its all worth it lol I like the sound of a deer grey for lamping rabbits ana but would they be to big for ferreting thars why I thought to cross it with a beddy grey or just get a little whippet for ferreting part

I use my big dog when I am ferreting, if they are brought up doing it then they should be able to make themselves useful. mine are decent enough for the amount of ferreting they do although I dont do that much ferreting. I think the best option for an all rounder though would be to have some beddy or some collie in there as well

the rough coated one was pretty much how you would expect an intelligent, driven lurcher to be training wise.

 

The bigger one dh/gh was very easy once he was ready but until that point was hopeless. He has sort of gone through stages in development for example. until about 10 months appeared totally useless and had no interest or curiosity in game at all (normally you have to hold them back when young from chasing stuff) but after 10 months clocked onto rabbits, spent the next couple of months catching the odd one when off the lead on walks etc. then within a few months was catching a good proportion of what he was running.

 

He is about 18months now and still has a lot of maturing to do. There are some things i would not expect him to do yet (but would another dog of the same age) but i do have a reasonable amount of confidence that he will make a very respectable dog given the time. He has proved me wrong several times in the past with stuff what I had him almost written off at times

 

Agree with staffpeg ferret333 bitch is stunning

You can say that again .

 

For ferreting, my dog is 251/2 tts. The best dog I ever saw for ferreting was a saluki X slightly bigger. My dog may be slightly heavy for ferreting, hard to tell at the moment. Sometimes he's like a carthorse, then once in a while he'll stretch out and float.

That's when I get a big grin on my face - just seeing the potential. No finer sight - anywhere.

 

Lovely dogs above BTW,

 

Deerhound X's take an age to mature - you just have to hang in there.
