foxhound x greyhound

[fenman1# 724]

i was wondering if anyone has ever seen or had one of these xs i would of thought they would be ok should have nice speed and stamina, i was thinking about doing this x but i was also thinking they might all give tongue whilst lamping thats the only thing holding me back

if the scent is good you will lose your dog it only has to smell a fox from miles away and its gone stick to the colie xs bull xs etc

i had a welshhound x bullgrey - dog was awesome - immense jaw power - he smashed all quarry to bits ! he never gave tongue whilst chasing or never hunted up on lamp - but say he ran a hare into a wood he would push it out again - i wish i could get another one like him - more people should use this cross

i have a bullx hes young still but he will not be for rabbits and i got a 3/4whippet 1/4 greyhound hes good on the lamp does what i ask of him but no stamina 15 to 20 runs is all he has in him

 

thanks anyway

i personally think they would be too big and heavy for serious lurcher work. dont know too much about fox hounds but i see some at a country show last year and they was big old dogs. how much do they weight?? they seem to have big chunky feet, legs and head, much larger than your adverage base blood used in most lurcher x's. would like to see some pics though. cheers.

I judged several of a strain of FoxhoundX GreyhoundxDeerhoundXGreyhound in Northern Ireland infact gave 1 BiS realy impressive dogs, used on daytime hares with law,but as would be expected a lot of litter wastage to get the right ones
