Loads all over Instagram Bit of a novelty x be nice to find out if they trained up well an what there weak points an were they any good as a all round cross that would get stuck in. Not on Instagram mate I still live in the dark ages the hunting life is as far as I stretch with media Quote Link to post

Had the exact same damage to a 3/4 greyhound/deerhound pup I had about 7/8 years ago. Nice looking dog. Was that one of billhardy's litter? Edited October 26, 2020 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post

Rays Buck is as good a cross of that kind as you're going to get in my opinion. Its a proven cross that does the business on all prey. What's to improve? As far as the Mal cross, all you are getting in my opinion is a collie cross. You could easily train a border collie to rag a sleeve and jump about like a super canine athlete. The problem is they are hyper, making them a pain in the ass to kennel. And generally to have around. You don't get that kind of a headache with a GSD cross.jmho.

I like to try these things out if/when I get the opportunity and the timing is right. 1 Quote Link to post
