a dog of thta size sounds good but how was it for allround hunting etc was it a bit limited on other qaurry etc
-
for me killing al those big beasties sounds good localy we have only roe, in pre ban day ive always believed when out at night kill quickly, empty out the engine carry to the nearest roadside etc you can catch a few a night i if needed , all youse guys must be goliaths carrying red fallow bucks etc , i find a good buck roe heavy enough ,nothing wrong with the humble coney had many agood night and day ferreting etc localy htere more deer hares than rabbits now you need to travel for good rabbit land now ,im happy localy if i catch half a dozen 15 years ago you would do that easy all the best

saw a three qaurter greyhound one qaurter deerhound pull roe for fun ,but lacked the turning abilityof a smaler dog he came in at 29 inches a nice big dog alll the same ,he was bred by andy baron his downfall was turning and the guy who had him never ran him to his potentiol a sfor lettting dogs or dogs killing them like a bullet thye must be half crocodile my idea for me dog pulls qaurry and you try and get there quick as and do the nessasary and on to the next one etc
