Bosun11 537 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Sounds interesting, they should make tough, knock about dogs. I'd agree that they wouldnt be the fastest of lurchers but i'd bet they make up for it with other jobs! If i was gonna use sommat like an airdale i'd go with a coursing type. They seem to thin out the heaviest of dogs. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I can think of a few uses in theory. It's amazing how much leg and speed half sight hound of any type will add. 1 Quote Link to post

forest of dean redneck 11,770 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I bet that cross has been done in oz or the usa,Airedale x staghound. Quote Link to post
Red Center 165 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I bet that cross has been done in oz or the usa,Airedale x staghound. Pretty sure that Dan fella had an airedale x staghound, it's in his coyote hunting thread. I know some fellas running airedale x greyhound/bull terrier on pigs, they go well so they tell me 1 Quote Link to post

skycat 6,174 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 One of my lurchers out of the Airedale to a coursing dog: mainly Saluki Grey. Not the very fastest I've had, but plenty fast enough for mooching about, lamping etc and tough as old boots with tons of drive, a nose as good as her dam and a lot faster than I would have thought possible for a first cross Airedale, but I do think the fact that there is Saluki in there has contributed to the lightness of build, not forgetting that although my Airedale was built like a tank, her own mother was quite lightly built and very leggy. First photo she was 5 months old, second photo 9 months. Not had a working camera for a couple of years, but will soon be able to get some up to date photos when it is fixed. 6 Quote Link to post
