    Have seen a couple of saluki/greys that would go in to any sized deer & not just as a one off, but they were both closely related & the only ones I have seen that would stick it out on bigger deer on even a semi regular basis. My own dogs are saluki lurcher based but they have other blood in their make up as well, I’m not one for getting hung up on pedigrees though, performance of the parents and grandparents is much more important to me than what breeds are in there

    That's the way it should be with working dogs it's never a guarantee mind but it's best way if you want something half decent

    Single or double it’s up to each person how they want to run their own dogs id never try and tell anyone what they should be doing. Just for me as times gone on its gotten less about catching everything and more about seeing how good the dog is 

    That's what it's always been about for me

    1 fox 1 dog, never done it any other way not even saplings, would you double up a young terrier that has a tougher job than a lurcher. 

    I've no experience of deer so can't speak on it but foxes I've plenty. 

    Running dogs and terriers are 2 different things every body enters different mind the pun but I've put dogs into quarry in all different ways it's all down to the owner and if the dogs up for or if you think the dogs up for it

    But surely if 1 dog was being made a prat out of then the fox had done well, beaten the dog and deserved to get away? Thats the way I’d look at it

    They don't always catch them doubled up on some places never mind singled

    Always thought that numbers thing didn’t make much sense. Surely instead of doubling up on 6 foxes or deer you’d have been better giving each dog 3 runs single handed. Then you actually know what you’re feeding rather than stacking the odds in the dogs favour

    But then there's a flip to that when I was flat out killing the foxes and stuff I had dogs that were more then capable of stopping then silo day and night but in some places I go 1 dog came be made a prat out of so 2 dogs on it would get him under pressure quick, I wasn't 1 for going out having 3 or 4 a night even though could of 2 was enough I was out 5 nights a week and then day time weekends having a ramble with the terriers and couple of lurchers knocking stuff up and trying for the odd dig
