Don't get attached to the cats?

Looks like the old deerhoundy types,get one and get it on racoons and coyotes,lucky man  70 odd quid for a pup,puts UK prices into perspective.

they'll live with your cats just the same as the terrier does

Don’t know if you after a greyhound cross but I don’t see a grey in the pic, maybe something lost in translation ?

looks  like a contented bunch,

for heavy work , bring a skin of some sort and whatever pup hangs on the longest, grab it and pay the man and best of luck ✌️

thats how the dogs were advertised on a canuck forum i am on.

wifey always wanted a big wolfhound and i dont mind them.

thanks for the advice with the skin.if we travel i will take some deer hide or a cat LOL

I’ve owned a few of these over the years had a couple that were a little half hearted, and two that were my pride and joy at the time, the good ones are very good, a little slower to mature than the staghound cross, but worth the wait if you get a good one. PS I could be wrong but they look a bit deerhoundy to me, I would own one going on the looks.

another better pic of the pups

Looks like they're second generation or linebred  wolfhound x grey if those are the parents? If you're wanting to use it on coyote I'd imagine the biggest boldest dog pup would be your best bet unless there's a bitch that really stands out to you.

Keep us updated if you end up getting one would be good to see how it turns out

I reckon they'd be good on coyote, my mate had one for foxes and a bit slow top end speed,that was a straight cross,they look second or line bred.I'd go for the leggiest one.And I'd get a bitch,you could always put back to a greyhound if too slow.

thanks for the replies and advice

 

i was wondering about what sex to get and the patterdale is a intact bitch.not sure how a male dog would be with her or her with him

 

just going to chat with wifey to see if we will go ahead with this.

Wolfhounds over here just wouldn’t have the graft behind the blood mate, everyone I have ever seen has been an article !

About 20 years ago Seen someone exercising 3 in a field once I had good view as was sat in low branch of a tree waiting to shoot  rabbits with an air rifle.

most ungainly lumbering dogs I've ever seen they took quarter of the field to turn round in ??

Used to see a woman in the paper shop every morning with her wolfhound where I used to live, she's kept them all her life and said you're lucky to get 6 years out of them before they start falling apart and need PTS. I asked once why she would still keep them and not get a deerhound or something similar that could live a long healthy life and she didn't really have an answer.

Looks like the one with the white cross on her chest is heading my way this friday ?
