I’ve got used to not having a dog now tbh when I retire maybe I will change my mind ? . 1 Quote Link to post

OldPhil 5,654 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Been out with a few Alsation x Greyhound hybrids,...also seen the infamous Geofrey Batten's noted example... I have found that , in much the same way as many other pastoral lurcher hybrids, it is best to use a nice smart sprint Greyhound, bitch as opposed to a girt big example..Many that I have seen, turn out way too big, and unless your desired quarry species is the Fallow Buck....then a massive running dog,.... is of no benifit. I've a few images of this crossbred in my files,..when I look at these photos, I am reminded of just how useful such a strong and powerful, canny lurcher type can be....

To be honest the best dogs I’ve seen on fallow bucks & reds have all been 26tts or below. The great big 28/29tts things never seem to have the same style or technique 2 Quote Link to post
