Any Americans had much experience with them, they are a big lump of an animal.

and M.H. Dutch Salmon. another good writer on american staghounds , both said the above dog was hell of a tough dog killed alot yotes solo . prob now the breed lines have this big dogs in there veins . i reckon you have ask Dan on here regards them. t hink keep some big stags today, but i think when they get to big/heavy from what he says , they dont catch as many yotes , being to slow loosing pace and agility , dan the man to ask . !!

Here's one from the other Dan.

 

Here's my biggest male. Duce is 28" (71.12 cm) @ 100# (45.35 kg.). He moves and bounces around like a dang terrier. He's got a good turn on him for a big brute. He catches rabbits just fine. He'll snag a turkey out of the air if it's not flying higher than about 2.5 meters. He can neck a coyote and hold him by himself and outright kill med. and smaller coyotes by himself also. He has enough brains to be able to pace himself after a loss and track coyotes, jump them and go far another catch when he's in good condition. He also trees and I can take him out by himself coon hunting and expect to get some action. I don't now of a more versatile stag.

 

Duce is also the sire of a litter of 3/4 Stag, 1/4 BC and they are doing very well. I tried to breed him to a BC female this Spring for a litter of first cross lurchers but I don't think they tied successfully. At an rate, it's only one litter but it looks like he may be a very good reproducer also.

 

If anyone would like to get semen from Duce you'll pay for the shipping and collection but the semen will be free.

There's a sale/race (there are several around the country but this is the largest) in Holdrege, Nebraska every fall around the first weekend in Oct. where you can go and see as many as 400+ staghounds. Of that 400 about 98% of them are for sale. I've been to the sale twice and I was very impressed that nearly all of the dogs there were in good health and most were in decent shape. A man could go there with a pocket full of money and take his pick. It's also a fun weekend with a race at the end.

Not at that time of year. Everyone is out catching fur. You wouldn't have a hard time finding someone to go with at that time though, weather depending.

As you can tell by the quality of the picture I posted, I'm not much for taing pictures. Most of the pictures I have of my dogs are at home on the chain. The only picture I have that comes close to that is of Duce when he was young and standing over his first coyote.

No probs Dan Im the same Ive had a lurcher hunting with me or my terriers all my life, I only have a couple of pics of them and loads of my terriers. Is it popular running them on coyotes would they tackle bigger game if given the chance.

There are folks that run them on hogs and bears. That seems like a bit of a waste but if you have enough dogs and don't mid loosing one once in a while it would work. They'll run anything and have plenty of fight...the good ones anyhow.

How often in an average week are you out in the winter dan?
