Deerhound Lurchers

[Wales1234 5,546]

My bitch now is a mix of deer grey collie with a dash of bull and show great potential very fsst bitch with a good brain good feet the deehound has it place in the lucher breeding ino

[buster gonads 862]

As WC says a dash of DH brings a good coat and feet to the mix and a robustness too, another thing i would add [i dont know if anyone agrees with me] they seem to have better eyes than anything else ive run, i,v had DH cross's that could see Hares i couldnt see with bino,s, atb, buster. PS, i,d like to own a DH based rabbiting dog one day, it would need to have a good dash of Whippet to bring the size down to around 21/22 inch, i cant understand why these arnt used more often, buster.

I,v had 3/4 cross's northernlite and they have had very good all weather coats, you may just have been unlucky mate, i,v seen some Beddy cross,s with long linty coats, i dont like these, but mine has a harsh DH type coat, much better IMHO, buster.

The dam to these pups (deer/grey x whippet) is 23" and mops rabbits up. She can turn very very well too.

think that what it was mate just unlucky with it was a shame to she was a good bitch but just to much on vet bills

GAZ,I like a dog with some deerhound in the mix and have ran quite a few from the 70's onwards as the deerhound/grey x collie/grey was very common back then,here's a pick of a dog from 10yrs ago,I find the more deerhound thats in them then the slower they can be maturing and their laid back no hurry attitude can be found frustrating depending on your own personality.

I once ran a 32"tts first cross during the late 80's on larger game and the only thing he struggled on was hare's,pre-ban of course,he took a bit of yardage to get up to speed but was a demon on fox.

I run a bitch with about 1/8th deerhound in her now,but she has a lot of beddy in the mix and a dash of collie,she's been a great bitch so far,4yrs old and worked 7 days all year round without a day off from injury,the deerhound seems to give good feet to their progeny as well as good coat,here's a pic of my current bitch,atb,WM

the deerhound looking dog is exactly what I'm after, does she run rabbits ok in small fields or needing a run at them first?

A big dog will surprise you mate, they arent as slow off the mark as people think.

[DeerhoundLurcherMan 997]

My lad is 3 year old, 27inches deer grey with a splash of beddy 5 generations back.

 

Good coat, feet, nose, very robust and really chilled out at home.

 

Does ok on rabbits, enough to please me. But something clicks behind charlie, with rabbits it seems they have the advantage but its the other way round with them. Has the pace for long ears as well but wont "run clever" behind them, its all or nothing which I love...

 

Would I have another......Yes as an all rounder but as a rabbiting dog no, But he was never going to be a rabbit dog. I would like to put him over a slightly smaller racier bitch 23/24 inches. Be some good pups.

I've got the sire at mine at the moment so I've got a few pics of him, got none of the bitch though.

 

Here's a couple I've taken, will get some good ones this week before he goes back...

I like him alot mate

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

My bitch wasn't happy about him getting a fuss

 

[hubbs 178]

Sound like a cracking litter mate lol

[sikastag_1 689]

I've got a lurcher with deerhound greyhound collie and saluki in her good dog, thing is mate with that mix you've put on, its a lottery what they could turn out like that's the problem with breeding lurcher to lurcher some people like it some people don't. You could end up with it throwing to the dh or the whippet or in between you never know.
