Aussie Whip 4,112 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I don't know anything about him but the bloke is obviously proud of his dogs as we should be but it's a shame when ego gets in the way. We have a few of these blokes in Oz and while they are knowledgeable dog people they ruin it by being wankers about it. 2 1 Quote Link to post

What he's doing for the deerhound lurcher can only be a good thing in my opinion. Dave believes he's reproduced the English deerhound and he's put a lot into his line so of course he's proud wouldn't you be ? I wouldn't say he's got big ego just passion for deerhound X 10 Quote Link to post

It's not like it's an unusual cross though, the Oz stags were bred 250 years ago that way and still are if you can find pure lines. So good on him he's producing a good hunter if he gets it right but it's hardly anything already tried and tested and not sure it should be stamped with his name. Quote Link to post

jukel123 8,262 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I like the look of his stamp of dog. I might get one, it will be my last, so I like the idea of a laid back hairy hound to finish up with. If it turns out to be a dud, it doesn't really matter to me at my age. I think he is stretching it about the bloodlines. He might well have top greyhound blood, it's easy to get hold of a failed greyhound bitch with a fantastic bloodline. But its more difficult to get hold of top working deerhound blood and it would cost you. All in all he seems a decent bloke who produces some eye candy dogs with a very sound temperament. Some folk swear by them so he must be doing something right. Edited December 17, 2022 by jukel123 5 Quote Link to post
