A lad local to me owns a couple of pure deerhounds dog and a bitch I think, he runs them like lurchers. He is going to have a night out with me this season.

I don't understand why everyone seems to want to start from scratch when there are enough lurchers out there of various descriptions doing every aspect of uk lurcher work to buy pups or breed from.

I cant understand why people call him a peddler, if he wasnt breeding litters the genuine deerhound xs would very nearly be a thing of the past. I say fair play to him.

If the working reputation of the Deerhound lurcher rested at the feet of Platt then that would be a fecking sad day for the Deerhoundy type lurcher.Its decades since a decent working Deerhound entered the field,the shite he owns is part and parcel of the decline in Deerhounds and the litters he throws into the cesspit of useless workers is more akin to the expectations and limitations of modern lurcher ownership than his dollar breeding.The facts are that the best working Deerhoundy,s now are generations of work to work to work,with border in the mix.Mongrel to mongrel bred with only one ambition and Platts ambition for the breed plays a very small part in that.The very best Deerhoundy lurchers resemble the type typical robust worker of olde,there are a few about,the typical KC useless shite resembles the Platt  litters bred to forge a dollar and suit the modern lurcher owner.
