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.

So you're saying that deerhounds and their crosses are/were no good on deer? And that people that have owned said crosses, have fooled themselves into believing that their dogs were actually any good on deer, even though their freezers were full of venison, and these same dogs kept themselves in food, because the owners had no need to buy in? Yeah I see where you're coming from ?

The bringing to bay came in during the 1600's, after people started using rifles to shoot them. After that time pure deerhounds were needed less, and that's when the crosses to different types came in. Collie crosses, dogs with nose and intelligence were more useful at finding and tracking, so mr scrope tells me.

Besides which, I've witnessed with me own mince pies, several deer/greys and deer/grey/collie/grey types taking several deer, that certainly weren't shy of tackling said beasties full on, far from it. Pre ban obviously

I deliberately missed out the bit that I have seen some decent deerhound crosses that are good on deer so its not always the case, but thought no I will let a dickhead like yourself take the bait and point out the obvious, it took all day for bait to be taken thankyou and well done ?
