Keeps 403 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 deer grey in my opinion it too tall for rabbits Thats a myth. I have one 29 inches that easily catches rabbits. They arent all big either, I also have a half x that is approx 25" tts. Quote Link to post

Jim Grant 4 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Rather than the straight Grey/Deer I prefer to have a Beardie/Grey bitch to a working deerhound. Injects some brains and gives then feet as tough as old army boots. Still it needs a decent sized field for rabbits anything else it will cope with. Pre ban I tried not to run them on fox, they tended to just knock them over rather then do the deed. My preferred cross works best on the hills with rough cover. Quote Link to post
DiStuRBeD 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 The australian staghound and kangaroo dog are primarily based on a deerhound/greyhound mix but over time other breeds may of been added, eg wolfhound, saluki, borzoi and others they are big dogs, suited to our type of game here in Australia Quote Link to post
