If you don't like deerhounds, they add f**k all. It's in your head

Deerhound adds deerhound blood

Got to be honest, I like a bit of deerhound in a lurcher. And would rather that than saluki blood.

Kin el,  I'd better scarper!!

You watch something jump up on the far horizon that as a tendency to escape far to often,add a bit of decent Deerhoundy and watch that far horizon shrink.

I do like them but I'd just be worried I'd end up with the pup that turned out like a hairy giraffe

I've seen some right funny looking deerhound saluki/greyhound ones and some very nice ones from the same breeding too.

Deerhound/collie/grey do seem to blend well though and people have been breeding them for a long time now.

From my experience they are a great all round lurcher, the black dog and fawn bitch in the pics were good dogs they could be lamped with on a night and used for ferreting by day. Good bags were taken lamping the strike on the pair of them great too. Unfortunately the bitch broke her neck. The big fawn dog was something else though, he loved teeth and made very light work of old Charlie 

 

Them 3 dogs in the pics are all from the same blood, the line went back years. I just couldn't find the right bitch to put that big fawn dog over.

Bet they knocked a few roe too. I used to live in your area back in the early 80's and the whole area seemed to be hopping with them back then.

All very capable of taking Roe, same again though the big dog could handle the bigger deer too

An old mate of mine bred a litter of 1st crosses in the mid 80's. Kept a dog and bitch. I've written on here about him, a good few years ago now, the dog was and still is the best/quickest fox killing dog I've seen. All over in a matter of a few seconds. Good deer dog too. Three of the bitches in the litter also made great lamping dogs that took everything

My uncle has kept them for probably 30 years, but he doesnt bother with the lurchers to much now. I think he only has a old dog left. If I could find a litter bred off the right dogs i would have another in a heartbeat.

I bred a litter about 5 years ago,i wanted to breed out of the dog early because the chance of finding another bred the same way was minimal to non existent.If a dog ever deserved its chance the Deerhoundy/Collie hybrid was a proven mutt,sadly it seems to have lost favour,its hunting prowess can never be questioned,the folk capable of utilising such a canine now are very thin on the ground.It saddens me when honest bred dogs are overlooked because folk now,on the whole,are happier with a lesser turd,on the whole
