thats a fare comment , ive seen a couple of this type x in the 80s, big 28-30in dogs , couldnt say  how there actually bred but thet had good lump of deerhound and greyhound in the mix, they get few hares in the day, and not bad in the lamp the bloke said i seen them in the day mooching, but he did say that they weren't  really fox dogs, had couple bt not over keen on the sharp end. now that come from the deerhound deff, there not the bravest  of dogs. i worked at a racing kennel for 6 months , and got to know greyhounds quite well, and ok they make nice pets for people, but feck me they make very good fox dogs, when there bloods up, they dont mind bit of pain . i know from reading about the yank stags that bred for yotes  and the Oz stags that killed dingos , both are good type deerhound type xs, but these types have been bred for 100s of years for those quarry, not like our soft temp type dogs. if really wanted deerhound type x today , i try to get one bred back to a pit x grey , put some grit in to the x, or  i try to get a import from the states of proven yote dogs , a dog that deal with anything with have over here  deff

The people I got a russell off tried a pure deerhound around holes and it wasn't up to it. They now have a grey/oz staghound which is spot on for the foxes. The deer cross bull/grey would be a good all round dog here for bigger quarry. Even my blue whippet lurcher although pretty fearless has a soft side to her which I like and she is only 1/8 deerhound.

Most of the pure deerhounds over here are too soft for the job. I've always wanted a pure working deerhound cross whippet, they were supposed to be better than whippet/stags  and were considered the ultimate rabbit dogs in steep hilly country. Rare as RHS now. 

If your serious I can I can put you in touch with a fella up in the new England area that has a pair a good guns. And breeds them occasionally.

Nothing better to look at than the deerhound x, though for me a dash of collie needed. Dave platts as bred 23 generations of dhxgh hes 250yrs old surely lol

I moved up the North coast a few months ago to please the mrs, worst move. There are a few deer around here but it's a shit area for me. Will be moving back to the bush soon as the mrs can't handle the place either. I will be looking at getting a bigger type running dog soon. Have the guy got pure deerhounds or crosses ? Thanks Steve.

Get a big deerhound then it’s not your

taste ? I always thought they was big for the big things  

the smaller dog looks tidy was it an improvement

We did not own the big hairy fellah..

Just used him over Irish Bred coursing bitches...they were beautiful animals,..tumbled roe for fun

Then, when I went on the rabbits for wages, I fancied a smaller jukel for the hedgerows, so we tried the whippet blood ..This brought the size right down, and many of the male pups inherited the fabulous crispy coat of the Deerhound. I liked them alongside the Beddies well enough,.but I always returned to the Herding blood composites...

Great days though...

Stay safe now, kind regards, OldPhil
