Foxhound x greyhound

[shaneg 2,578]

Has anyone ever run this cross it’s something that’s been in my head for a few years now. I think the foxhound could bring a lot to the table. Stamina. Make a good day time rough hunting dog hopefully be handy markers. It’s something I’ve on my head to do in the next year or two. Try get a decent grey bitch that’s not afraid of teeth and put a good solid old English dog over her that’s a very good marking hound

Friend of mine has bull grey x foxhound grey 

Hell of a dog runs all day and night it's a big built dog but can shift through the gears quick

It’s just like in my head that a first cross could make a great all round dog. Just to get the right greyhound and right foxhound. I was also thinking about getting a foxhound bitch and putting a racy bull greyhound over her but I think it would take from the speed a bit

First time I saw the dog run full speed I was shocked how quick it was it is around 25/26 tts and it flew

A foxhound in full flight aren’t a slow dog to be fair so it wouldn’t surprise me it the cross was quick

Would be better going with a well bred grew that's proving

It’s just something that’s in my head for a few years now. I just think they could make a real handy all round cross I could be completely wrong. But after spending a few years in hunt service it’s got me thinking how good some foxhounds are and what they could bring to the table. On paper it adds up to exactly what I want in a dog but 2+2 don’t always make four.

That’s my taughts I could get a bitch and try her and if it works out I’d have no problem getting a very good foxhound

your right mate I could be missing something but no interest in lurchers any more to find out but would love to see how you get on if you deside to go down that route but for me ill just keep ploughing away with my foxhounds

Straight to hand the fella you thinking of. His dog's 3/4 grey 1/4 foxhound. There's a few posts about him on here. Cracking animal, and very useful apparently. Certainly looks a fast dog
