neems 2,406 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 If I was after them of a day I'd go for something fast that runs well,if it was of a night I'd go for something a bit stronger and more robust. Quote Link to post
Sirblessed 2,511 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Going to move to an area over here with large number of fallow deer and heard there going to be declared a pest animal,so would be interested in owning a bigger lurcher.Wondering what cross would be the most suitable for deer single handed.Was thinking of a dane/staghound but don't know if these would be quick enough. Our wolfhound greyhounds are still doing the job mate, plenty of them still being used check gumtree for working dogs. PS slow to mature 2yrs + 1 Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,787 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 You could do alot worse than a collie/grey x deer/grey. I've owned a couple and seen many more of this type that were genuinely great all round dogs, taking rabbit, hare, fox and deer regularly, especially on the lamp. Or a 3/4 bred collie/grey, seen a few of these do the same 3 Quote Link to post

Do you run pure wolf hounds do they take red deer? (if you have them over there)? Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 A decent line bred Bull lurcher should do the trick for ya mate. Get one bred from the right stuff they will have plenty enough pace aswell. I have no experience of them staghounds but I don't see why they wouldn't be bang on for the job. The biggest problem with line bred Bull/Greys is they don,t own the pace to suffer long and gruelling gallops,thus what fecking use would they be to a mutt that needs the ability to sustain a long arduous chase?. 1 Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Saluki or heavily saturated born to run that type of quarry in those tempratures and terrain what more do you need dont reinvent the wheel. ATB The only problem with Salukis,if we are to be honest,they are not honest enough at the catching stage. Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Few guys iv met that hunted fallow used dogs much smaller than what most are saying, im sure there mutts range from 23atsban 50lb to 26 ats an maybe 65/70lb, but they aint big mutts, just bred right. Pity most left this forum If i was a fallow id piss on a lightweight lurcher,the majority of the time,id succumb to anything with the size and pace for fallow that was bred with the intention of bumping something within its range.I dined on a 10month old fallow a while back that met a pup about its age,if that pup would have been a smaller and less robust adult id have gone hungry.

The only bull type lurchers with pace owe it to whats else is in the mix,fact.The bull in the mix is often a negating factor in a venison lurcher. 2 Quote Link to post
