bird 9,970 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 ive never said this to any man before but ''WHAT A LOVELY PAIR YOU HAVE THERE'' , they can really shift for big dogs , both got long strides on them, so can cover ground quite quick, prob when you see smaller dogs run like Bryn who fast of the mark, but Buck picks rabbits up no prob had some good bags with him , there very deceiving dogs these pair, not much gets away from them . 2 Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I used to have a first cross standard poodle x greyhound and would have another one in a heartbeat Heard a few people say they had poodle/grey and pretty game dogs krawnden? Rare x though Mine was shaping up to be a great allrounder, but unfortunately got killed on the road aged 21 months, so in all fairness I couldn't say he'd been thoroughly tested. But he was fast, agile, had good coat and feet and used his nose well. Was great with ferrets and sensible around the nets, had taken daytime hare, muntjac and roe and had retrieved his first goose from the water (I do a bit of wildfowling). It's also a distinct possibility that he caught the very last legal hare in this country - or at the very least he flecked it. On the afternoon before the hunting ban came into place I took him to a friend's farm that had plenty of hares (I'd spent the morning whippet coursing - wanted to make the very most of that last day!). We walked pretty much the whole farm and had a few runs, but they'd all been at very distant hares and all he'd done was run himself ragged with nothing to show for it. I was desperate for him to get a really good run but the light was beginning to fade and we were running out of time. Then suddenly up jumps puss and the game was on. He rattled it round and round the field we were in, getting plenty of turns in and putting it under a lot of pressure then it made it through the hedge and into a wood. Couldn't see what happened after that, but he was definitely still pressing it hard as we could hear crashing about through the undergrowth and the occasional yip from the dog. Then all went quiet. After about 5 more minutes the dog reappeared still blowing slightly and with a big blob of hare's fur on his jaw. By this time there wasn't much light left. Had a look for the hare but couldn't find it. So he might have lifted it, he might not. But he definitely connected with it in the dying moments of the last day it was legal in England...

Shame to hear that. Where did you come across that cross? Would have thought purpose bred/trail or accidental mating but turned out good?There's only one guy think his name was 'Typ Ratcher' that I have known/read about about working this cross.
