wolf hound x deerhound pups

[neil cooney 10,416]

There was a proper Wolfhound coursing club set up in Britain a few years ago similar to the Coursing Club for Scottish Deerhounds with a judge, slipper and I presume beaters etc. 

Some coursing expert went to a meeting and wrote a report in one of the magazines. If I remember correctly his comment was something similar too "upon reaching their quarry the Wolfhounds showed no desire to kill it."

That was on Hares and lads are talking about taking Coyotes etc. with them. The Greyhound blood would need to be pretty game to carry the blood of these giant curs. Pretty dogs but that doesn't catch game. And dis-miss the old Celtic legends about the Celtic hound being equal to two men in battle because that breed is extinct. The Irish Wolfhound of today is a recreated breed. There's a specimen mounted in the Natural History museum in Dublin (I think from the early 1920s) and it looks a lot different to todays monstrosities

I'm assuming 'wolfhound' means something different in the US? Have you asked what the parents are killing?

Well they look the part. Good luck...

Mind your superted telling me about your family and deerhounds etc.

Some dogs are meant to be with their owners mate

Oz and USA have old blood, Pakistan too! The dogs they are breeding into their lines and from and not off (mostly) show shit.

Dog works they breed from it.

There pretty popular here as crosses for pigdogs,but the'' pure'' hunting wolfhounds you see  are not that big(compared to show types) and have colours indicating other blood, usually bull terrier.

Nothing really prepares you for the sight of a freshly laid wolfhound dump. Its one of the most frightening things I have ever seen.

I saw a Wolfhound and a Great Dane get rinsed by a german/Dutch Doberman many years ago, killed the pair of them stone dead in about 5 minutes flat.

Dint know how good anything like that would be against teeth.

I get the impression that the 'Wolfhound' is merely a local term for the ancestry of this type of dog? I'm not sure I'd read too much into it unless told by local dogmen otherwise.

They look solidly made animals from the pictures, not what I'd expect a KC type Wolfhound to throw....

I occasionally meet a beautiful fawn wolfhound. but its a massive lap dog rather that an over grown running dog. It wouldn't last 2 minutes against a Jack Russell let alone a Doberman. Anyone who sets Doberman on a dog like that is just a sick MF.

Modern wolfhounds are a man made recreation for the show ring.....bred for looks...too big to be sound or healthy for any length of time.   Now those pups in Canada....look a much better proposition........

Wolf Hounds by function I would think. Not  judged in a show ring on a points system using a breed standard written by the wrong people who wanted to keep a closed gene pool for the wrong reasons. Form follows function, always has and always will. Nice wolf hounds in Ted Newgent's photos. But I must add that I've never seen a wolf (or any wild canine bigger than a fox), so this is purely my personal opinion based on jack.

Who ever let that happen is a right prick and no mistake
