Iv seen a couple of pure greyhounds that were quite handy aswell If you get a real game greyhound bitch,they put lots of drive and fire into litters,if you like fast pace and lightning fast reaction then they bring that to the table also,I like a bit of everything,not just running hares,as an all round sporting animals ,a dollop of greyhound is the key I believe,and it steadies the offspring down to with decent obedience added....but that's just my view 5 Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,863 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'd be very happy with something similar,sonic was a very special dog for my son and I,he was like a tank when at full speed,and reasonably fearless,I saw him getting bad eatings at times and was cringing in case he's back off but never did,he took a plethora of quarry,at times found his own stuff and flushed them and ran them ... 5 Quote Link to post
