Seen and owned a few dogs with a fair amount of Deerhound blood in them and all the best ones also had a good drop of collie blood too.

So i'd be looking at a Deerhound Grey x Collie Grey before anything else..

I can definitely relate to that, I hate hunting with other people. Everything they do gives me the shits.

im only joking of course...a bit of sal blood can be great in lurchers ...

funnily enough max had a bitch that was deer/grey x pure sal...she looked a big hound with good bone and good feet

A mate of mine bred his 1st cross deer/grey bitch to tor of dartmoor.  A more useless litter I've never seen.

And his first cross deer/grey bitch, dam of said pups, was very useful.

IMO adding terrier into the mix will only improve the DH side. A big quarter bred bitch, as DC said bull & or wheaton. Keep the biggest pups, if they prove themselves put them back to the same line of deerhound blood then after. Keep the height, good coat just adding terrier mind set. Sounds good on paper anyway.

Terrier mind set is a beautiful thing in any Lurcher cross id not be without terrier blood in any lurcher x I keep now

Yep, near enough 30 years ago.
