Deerhounds

[Campbell 6]

These are fine hounds and riding the horse with the dogs alongside reminds me of a youtube video today of a guy driving a jeep with the Deerhound running just at the side of the road.  The added view the rider has of the terrain. I think this is how you would get the best out of hunting with Deerhounds rather than what they can show you chasing a hare with a lot of law.

Just  look at the difference of these Deerhounds in 1932 compared to today's stock .

 

Alas 90 years have done them no favours.

Once a dog stops doing what’s its bred for it , the breed on a downward spiral the bulldog is a prime example!

Anyone with a pure wanting to use a pure greyhound to get a F1 there is a straw at Meerfield Stud at Liverpool off England Expects.

He was arguably the top stayer of 2010 in GB and from the best litter whelped during 2007.

He was a blue dog of 73lbs hard weight.

His sore was the double Derby winning Westmead Hawk.

I don't want anything for the straw .

Meerfield would obviously charge for the implant.

What a smashing chap

People fool themselves into thinking deerhounds and their crosses must be good on deer because of the deer in their name.

Not the case as deerhounds were bred to push and keep at bay when things become stationary, those are two things any man serious about catching deer with lurchers would not want his lurchers to do.
