This is one of THE most correct posts on here in ages. How many people write off a cross or type, after seeing maybe only one, two or three of said cross/types?

Or not even seeing one.... 

I've seen a fair few DH crosses over the years, were to a penny when I was a youngster, some alright some not so, plus owned a couple, so reckon I have a right to an opinion. 

As to pures seen a few run and never been overly impressed, IMO they've not a patch on the hybrid.

Yep, I agree to a certain point sandy. Seen quite a few deer/greys 1st cross, and 3/4 grey/deerhound, most of which were very useful. Then crossed back to a 1st cross or 3/4 bred collie/grey, the resulting pups went on to become superb all round lamp dogs

I genuinely think looking back allot of what were described as deerhound greyhounds, were deerhound lurchers rely, ie something else in the mix, the better ones anyway, most things that fall out of favour do so for a reason, usualy because something better comes along, look at all the regional collie types that have fallen by the wayside because of the border collie's superiority.

Do you think they fell out of favour due to the introduction of the saluki and hybrids for the coursing scene alot better stamina and the bull hybrids for teeth. 

The deer grey imo is a jack of all trades master of non. Well maybe one.

And lots of the people that had them aren't on the scene anymore

yes I do, but for all round lurchers they are a good ingredient, they add a calm watchfull temp in mho, and gilbey  is right the lads that kept them in their hayday are old now or gone, from the coursing aspect some were absorbed in to the melting pot along with most things.

The modern day border ollie his not a. Patch  on the old region l type collies to much eye in the modern types robotic need to much instruction  trialling fine they Maybey. But that's where it ends a good old sorts the sort fa breeding jukels from if that's the way ta want ta go there's ole ty farm yard type gohs collie  type that ain't mad flecked up and far superior da the production of a jukel atb bill
