My old Deerhound x a long time ago! I am not sure what he actually was but he was about 27" but had a slight frame so he may of had a slither of saluki in him but it must of been diluted if he did. Top class lamping dog he took all game. My uncle acquired him, the lad just swapped him for a ferret as he didn't have time for him. He was a bit mangey and skinny - built him up, gave him time and he turned out a classy dog. Shame the picture is crap he was and nice bridle cast in blue and that was his name, Blue.

Very strong dog, I remember the first time he met old Reynard, the fox had him by the face! Unfortunately He had to let go at some point and when he did Blue got to grips with him. Very good rabbit dog though he made some great catches one in particular I remember to hit a highland cow - did a somersault somehow got back on his feet and caught the rabbit. He seemed to have a second wind you thought he was finished and then he just seemed to come alive again with plenty in the tank. Really rated him.
