Seems from the posts that they do better with a splash of other breeds thrown in the mix. A bit like  bull or wheaten/hound  mixed with a touch of saluki/hound blood can compliment each other for an all rounder. I suppose if everyone kept the same breed it would be a boring world. Seen some of those big first cross Dogo Argentina x greyhound and they would either pull down a Cape buffalo or lick it to death but they certainly don't look like they have pace.

It always held a good head of sika And roe  but once certain locals started going nearly every night and leaving gates open and a few things just dumped in the field  it got warm then a wildlife officer  (Thomas) gained a load of perm because of it and it got not worth bothering with

Be about 9 years or so since I was last up round there. I was in one of the pubs it was either Barley or Newchurch (I think lol). Was having a pint after ferreting and some woman screamed lol I'd forgotten I had a ferret in the pocket of my wax. The wee jill had obviously fell asleep, I'd forgot, she wakes up and sticks her head out for a nosey

Spent many years up there, I even learnt to ski on the dry slope
