a nice deerhound mate, real good in dogs in or out of kennel, loyal and eager to please.They love to work, and trained well are good at their job lol, good luck finding one but dont rush, search about cos you can get some bad ens.

how tall is the kid? a large deerhound x could tow them around when excited,i would said a whippet or whippet x.

just my opinion.

yeah but the kid gonna grow he doesnt wanna be running a whippet when hes in his teens, not that i got owt against whippets they class dogs but you know yourself once ya get a taste ya want bigger n better a whippet wont cut it once he has sussed it lol, i get your point but train em well it shunt pull, ours dont, my 8 year old walks him and hes spot on, unless he sees summat :boogy: :boogy: the lad just have to get bulking up lol

should of said deerhound cross lol deerhound would maybe be a bit big, greyhound/deerhound etc ideal imo

i would say it depends firstly on the terrain and the quarry intended. from what i can read into post i would suggest a collie/whippet/greyhound or maybe bedlington/whippet/greyhound.

Collie/greyhound x whippet...........,,,,, nice whippet off working stock make you a good first working dog and house dog, but there's lots of others that will do what you want as well.

At your age you want someone who can advise you about what dog will suit you and your situation.

Personally I would say a deerhound X will be too powerful for you for the next 3 or 4 years.

Beddy cross I'm also 12 and got my second lurcher its beddy cross atb

[CRAZYHORSE 2,647]

beddy x whippet would be ideal mate.
