That is a corker of a specimen. Beaut!

You need to ask this gentleman if he would allow his dog out to stud CP. You can pay me back that pup you owe me then.

I've never bred a litter in 57 years of owning running dogs, used one or two of my dogs as stud, but if I ever did breed, you'd be welcome to one F.O.C

Cheers.

Eric Ferguson from Ashington owned Axel and another local lad had its sister meant to have been good on all quarry day or night.

Like you, I'm old enough to remember before the saluki type arrived !

Up here the deer cross was the " go too" type for daytime hare and roe.

Billy Docherty had great results with pure and cross Deerhounds, and I remember some of the Ashington match dogs, Thor and the Widdrington Train spring to mind. Heavily deerhound blooded dogs, and there was a lad from around Durham ran the same types in matches around Drax.

Even our old pal Tomo had some success with a whippet/grey x deer/grey.

But according to some, these deer types have no prey drive, are big lumbering curs........maybe the quarry wasn't as fast back then, or maybe we were easily pleased back then ? Or perhaps the people who don't rate them haven't really seen a good 'un run ?

Cheers.
