Gday mate,

I also have a deerhound xgreyhound she has exerlent acceleration and early speed makes most of her catches early in the chase how ever the longer it goes on the less chance a catch becomes. can I ask what is the main attrabutes you hope to acheive from this cross.

My deerhound greyhound bitch is in season at the moment and I had a few dogs in mind for her.I`m after keeping a bitch for myself.

After much consideration I have chosen a retired racing greyhound(Top Honcho lines)who I`m told has amazing early speed/acceleration.He`s all black,26" tts and is of lighter bone structure to my bitch who`s rough coated and 26.5" tts.The guy who owns the greyhound raced him professionally for years.The greyhound looks in really good shape and is very alert.He had a few others but were all too big for my liking.I`ll be taking her there this weekend.

sounds like a good match good luck

goog luck wi the litter his your bitch a genuine firstx

Thanks mate.

She`s from lines of Deerhound greyhounds on both sides.One line goes back 20 years to a famous dog around Gwynedd and Anglesey called Gruff.I know a few lads in this area that also have dogs from these lines.The dogs are all big(26"-29"),strong,rough coated,very fast with huge prey drive(that`s why the lines are kept going and I`m keeping a bitch).They are referred to locally as "staghounds".They`re very similar looking to some of those Coyote hounds of the USA.They are not pets and will only go to working homes.

 

hi there , when i lived on anglesey i spoke to a guy with this kind of cross. he showed me his dog course a few day times. Very capable dog it was to. For the life of me i cant remember this mans name

To get a similar sized bitch,probably racier frame with lighter bone structure.Then I`ll have two big bitches that I can put anything over either of them in the future,including my beddy greyhound/wheaten greyhound dog.I wouldn`t mind trying one of Dave Platts` first cross deerhound greyhound stud dogs in the future.

All black,like his dad Top Honcho.I`ll email you them tonight(still in the wife`s camera).My bitch came home today after spending the last 4 days with the stud.She was there morning `till evening but I collected her and brought her home every night to get a good night`s kip.She`s been standing for him for the last 4 days but he was a bit shy at first.For the last 2 days she`s been coming home with the shoulder area of her back covered in the greyhound`s saliva,so cross fingers and wait now for the first signs in 3 or 4 weeks.
