f**k it, Id give a saluki/deerhound a shot....why, I hear you ask, well, theoretacally they should be a good size,( which is helpful in covering the hill,) good feet,( for the rocky land), decent coat perhaps,( for the beau northern weather), and hopefully endless feckin stamina (which is what the dam thing will need because it wont be the swiftest hound going, ) but up here it would certainly have the space to stretch after a bunny over rough hill country.
But what are the chances of someone putting the right saluki and the right deerhound together?
