I don’t know anyone working deer xs that’s the problem 

Get out see a few first  

and when they are fading dead on the back of its second day time course or knocking itself useless against everything in its path then go get something coursing bred

LOL, you may have something of a point there. They do breed deerhounds a bit big and clumsy these days. They're a nice dog to own though and the first pure in Stonewalls post looks a better stamp to me. His half cross too.

I don’t see why people breed them down , surely that height is the whole point in owning a deerhound in the 1st place ?

Some do some don’t depends on how they are bred,and as for size why not bring them down abit as when I brought the size down on mine it was a bit more better on the turning and speed.But still punched above its size.

The look in her eyes! That is a look only a Lurcher can throw at something, translated that look says ‘I’m gonna find you, I’m going to run you down and I will kill you’! 

A very particular set of skills

I've seen a lot of deerhound crosses and a few pures, and they seem to be only any good when you get down to 1/4 deerhound. They have good mouths on them and they look good, but they have bad feet, turn like buses and lack speed till you get to 1/4 breds.

Is this another kind of nostalgic thing ? Where deer hound xs are as good as anything that’s got a chunk of grey and reared right? But no better ? Don’t see anyone running them much now and the ‘great’ ones are all long dead and just memories.

That's right even them that devoted the lives 2 these dogs admit the smaller they got and more greyhound or other blood they added the better they was

Deer/grey bitch pups, two weeks old;

Very even, so I'll wait a few weeks before choosing one.

This one has a slightly bigger head, but they'll change over the weeks.

Cheers.
