She’s good to mark and not afraid of the sharp end from what Ive seen but there has always been other hounds around her so all I can do is hope for the best it all clicks. Interested in this cross my self I have a good strong hound dog and good Saluki X whippet bitch . I have been trying to source a good tall greyhound bitch but I might try him over my bitch .

As in howling noisy. Howl all ducking day and night. They need walked , as In walk walked. Each to there own and people live in areas where the faults aren’t an issue etc. But don’t be thinking trail hounds are a walk in the park compared to a Fox hounds. They are a lifestyle dog. Suprised , no one has mentioned Rebecca, the foxhound / greyhound x that was the subject of Andrew Simpson’s book. usually raises its head whenever this x is mentioned I believe this is the lurcher that you are referring to. Don't own the book but borrowed it from the library years ago. I found this postcard quite a bit later and it is only titled "Leaping lurcher by Fay Goodwin 1973", but sure that is Rebecca from the book. A nice type and great photograph given the cameras of the time, took real skill using them. 2 Quote Link to post
