downsview 448 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ime no lover of deerhounds or deerhound greyhound crosses,but why does this cross seem to do so well when a dash of collie or saluki or bull or even bedlington is added the sleeping giant realy does awaken or have I just been unlucky in the deerhound greyhound xs ive seen and very fortunate in the deerhound greyhound with something else as well type lurchers I've seen Quote Link to post

downsview 448 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hybrid vigour would be there with the 1stx so I think must be more to it,this isn't a lurcher vs lurcher breed type three ,just a personal observation I've made a deerhound x greyhound with just a dash of another working dog seems to be better than the 1st or 2nd cross . 2 Quote Link to post

darbo 4,774 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 ive only seen a few examples of the cross in the 80s and early 90s some were decent dogs maybe the standard of deerhound is not there anymore. 5 Quote Link to post

I think you are dead right,there are not that many about being worked,you see a few at the shows with people who quite clearly are not working them but other than that they appear to be scarce, my lad has a nine month old line bred deerhound/greyhound thats very keen on everything so I will put some pics up of him when I take a few, he's caught quite a few rabbits for a pup so the future looks good for him,marks up holes and cover,great nose,fingers crossed, WM 2 Quote Link to post

I know it would, or rather it should, but is there any useful working deerhounds available these days, and what would be the chances of getting a line from their lesbian, spinster, hairdresser owners ? 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Always enjoyed being out with deerhound hybrids,... Personaly,..I like to add a fair old dollop of sheepdog blood into the mix... 1 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think the Deerhound is probably the best of all other breeds to lend itself to any lurcher type. A drop of them big beauties in the mix really goes a long way. Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Mine is 5 year old now... Deerhound lurcher x deerhound lurcher, beddlington blood 5 generations back... He's great in the house, quiet and chilled out, spot on with kids... But I wouldn't own another, don't get me wrong, he kept me out in the fields and he wouldn't turn his nose up to anything. But there are much better animals out there. Good lamping dog, but would be left wanting another gear for a daytime hunt, along with some stamina... Would be ok for the Subaru crew but nowhere near hard enough looking lol... 1 Quote Link to post

Deerhound/grey X collie/ grey were once the dog to have, seen them make short work of anything and wish there was more about, there's a guy down Craven Arms way,shropshire that pumps them out but they are sh*te, I went to have a look at them and they were very poor,2 blind pups in the litter and very inbred heavy dogs,he does a few shows and spouts the sh*t that the adults work but they quite clearly don't, we will breed off this dog if he turns out well but it will be either a greyhound or collie cross, WM 1 Quote Link to post
