what the point in deerhound xs

[karlsberg 319]

i went to a lurcher show other day for the 1sttime in yrs . and al i seen were poor deerhound xs and it got me thinking what does a deerhound bring to the table in the modern lurcher world. i think they have been destined for the show circuit and for red rossettes . some thing evolve but the poor old deerhound has evolved into a show specimen like jack russels in crufts. all the best and hope to have some replies from bill ps dont get al starry eyed cos there better dogs nowadays

This one, (3/4 Deer x 1/4 Grey), has recently retired after 4 seasons up north on the reds. Definately NOT a show pony !

Can't see the point in deerhound x's when there's others that do a better job. Bull x - foxes, saluki x - coursing, collie x - ferreting & any old farm collie for lamping hares

ive had x's for bigger stuff didnt rate them for rabbits but fox and deer they worked well very well bit heavy ive thouht of one recently but not going to i recently seen a first cross and it was only ten months old but looks the part think it will do well i think it depends on terrain is well cold weather ect ect

Where I lamp a dog needs to be up to its quarry quickly putting it under pressure. Deerhound x's lack the acceleration for me Thurso Jack
