Staghound

[bigdan 11]

the type of lurcher i use in my family mostly is what we call a staghound i dont know if it's the proper term im a travler and that's what weve alway's called them mine is three qaurter saluki qauter scotish deerhound they mostly have greyhound but mine dont some of my family say it's the same as a norfolk lurcher just a bit bigger i think a good lurcher depend's on what you hunt and were if you have a soft footed dog for the fenland's it migth struggle and hurt it's feet in hard ground like dorset . but i think stagehound's strong and fast make good all rounder's and a beauty to watch hunt

You're right, a staghound is a foxhound used on red deer, but some travellers, (and Aussies), call deerhound/greyhound Xs, especially rough coated ones, staghounds.

Cheers.

Staghound is a common name for large lurcher types, used to catch and kill coyotes and other big game...

They come in all shapes and sizes...rough, smooth and all different colours.

When Ive heard the term Staghound it either bring to mind the large foxhound type dog.Or it bring to mind the Deerhoundx,as thats the term Ive heard used when travelers talk about Deerhoundxs.

the most important thing about staghounds here in australia is they are bred to work, not bred to be a certain dog, that is why stags are the best pick for most of our running game that are unique to this country

 

they have generally been bred for many many years worker to worker

 

to look at them u see the greyhound, the deerhound and maybe some other sighthounds eg wolfhound or borzoi, but they seem the perfect blend of them

 

oh and did i mention they are bred to work
