Alan and Heidi Charles in Westmeath breed a litter now and again, though they mainly breed pure deerhounds. Bear in mind that if you get a deer/grey it may not be as "drivey" as  other lurchers. I like mine but she won't take fox. Doesn't seem to see them as an enemy. She takes most edible. She isn't as good as my collie/grey on rabbits but she can catch a few.

Just to add, her feet are very good for such a big heavy bitch. In the months leading up to the season I give her lots of roadwork with the bike and she runs a fair bit on v. rough rocky ground and forest and only once had a knocked up toe. She does damage stoppers a lot but on that ground they all do so I've worked out how to deal with it.

Yes and that's why I said what I did. She does have plenty of drive on some quarry but just isn't interested in foxes. I don't take many pictures and that's an old one but I've got a pup on at the moment so I may take the trouble to take the camera out a bit. The pup has a little deerhound in him but the rest is greyhound pit and wheaton so if I ever do want to catch foxes that should take care of it. I'm not really into catching foxes though, unless the farmer wants it done. I like a dog that can fill the freezer.
