BenBhoy 4,706 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 hey guys & gals, just a quickie - anyone on here ever worked or seen working wolfhounds? i know they were obviously first bred to hunt wolves, but has anyone ever used them for anything over here? pre ban fox perhaps? just interested as me and my terrier bumped into one yesterday - like the little n large show! cheers.

fireman 11,157 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have a wolfhound myself and is just a pet as really there to big and heavy to be able to turn quickly,haven't put her on anything as yet but she has caught a rabbit before and does seem very keen to chase things.I have a bit of land that has a few roe on and was just saying yesterday that i will try her on a retrieve this week as the herd does let us get close to them,one thing about this breed is though they have been bred to be mellow so am not expecting much to be honest.There really to big and heavy to be used in any lurcher breeding programe for this country but will say if she does hit anything it's going down through weight of impact if nothing else,been hit by her when out walking and she dropped me no problem.Could see a fox out jinking the breed to be honest and hares are out of there league,massive stride but not as fast as most lurchers is the wolfhound.
