Got to laugh at the 11th generation claim, a man with tried and tested stock who only bred when he need to would prob not live to see 11th gen .  Bred like rats for 1 reason

Gisburn near Clitheroe? Not much over there last time I mooched over the nick.  Shame, bloody great land and should be more productive.

I used to have ferreting/dog permission up on one of the farms up there lol, funny lot them from that way

Has anyone ever run Andy barons deerhound xs 

I seen a 3/4 one run up Caithness quite a bit early 90s, smooth coated brindle dog with a huge head, it was an honest enough dog but it was ran with a AW bred Deerhound bitch and that was a cracking animal. The other Deerhound xs it was run with where also better dogs tbh.

Seen a few decent deerhound blooded dogs, was other blood in the mix though. The ones ive seen that was just dh x gh was very poor, fast but that about it.

Looks pretty

Had a couple hybrids in the past, gave some size to a mix and maybe a more laid back nature in the kennel.

Dg/greyhound X bull/greyhound

DH/greyhound X collie/greyhound, red dog.

These days I'd use rough Galgo blood, laid back, stamina, feet an d look pretty
