I personally think that's where lads went wrong with deerhound crosses. The auses and yanks had right idea . Jmho pal . Breed for work . Cull the wastage
Charts . For me . If i had a pure deerhound and wanted to breed for work . I'd be using exactly that . And animal that's very sound around 26" but fast with gears . I'd sacrifice a bit of height to gain durability. Creating a deerhound x that can take a lotta graft . The ones I've seen tend to be a bit fragile and can't go out a few days in a row . The best ones I've seen , we're deerhound x lurchers. The dogs in my line were all that way bred 40/50 years ago . And they lacked nothing other than that bit extra steam . Thats were the saluki blood got added. I'm sure you'd agree with the deer
Spew as in turned its heed . Looking at it , it didn't look like it was bred for that game . However, my auld da always preached about books and covers . Coulda been worse gunt, coulda been in hull lol
Thankyou kind sir . I learned a long time back that this dog game is all about opinions and egos . I don't take myself so seriously as to be easily offended. Been keeping dogs for 45 years . Never took time out nor changed tactics . There's a young lad on here I've offered advice and guidance. It's nice to think you try and do right by people. Unfortunately there's a high percentage that are just crabbers. I keep a very small circle of acquaintances and that works best for me . And as my auld da always said . Respect your elders . I tip my cap charts
