Crossing for size.

[Runthemhard 7]

Just curious if anyone has crossed a high drive terrier with a bigger hunting or working dog. The reason I ask is I really like some of the terrier drive but worry about their small size with the predators we have coyotes being the worst.

What about crossing one with a stock dog or cur?

I would say it depends on what you intend to do with the dog

Plenty of foxhunters here have put JR and pats to greyhounds.wwith mixed success and a fair amount of dead sheep. As it was told to me you know what proper shits terriers can be now put that into a big package.

dont know what your set up is= kennels etc, because  any terrier what  ever type . pat, jack, anything of 12-16lb would be killed by a 30-40lb yote , and more so if 2 yotes are out there by the dog, as you know your self a yote a hard fighter with strong jaw, small dog got no chance, because a yote killing for food , same as wolf , they aint fighting for the love of it . why not get a small type staghound , they give you plenty of sport day/night .

my thinking was a alround dog that could go from small game to predtores to blood tracking

i know how bad coyotes are that why i was thinking a terrier drive in a bigger body. i had looked at stag hounds but dont think they would work in the heavy cover we have

Just cross a dogo with a greyhound if you want pace with strong structure

that would be a killer cross but not real common around here becuse the land is not real good for sight hounds

What is traditionally used where you live for the function that you have in mind? Others who have gone before you may have already solved your problem.

Cross the aussie cattle dog with a greyhound  and it'll do all you'd want it to do and a bit extra..
