    it takes time to mature when out on walks and simmering with other dogs, but when out hunting with hounds and lamping at night the deerhound x knows exacly what to do from a young age (9months+) and i am saying this from experience of owning a deerhound x. but saying that, i have never reared any other x from a pup so will be interesting to see what other people day. They do normally take a bit longer to mature than most other types in general, but that's to be expected, especially if they turn out the larger deerhoundy or greyhoundy size, but that's a positive anyway, as it gives you mo

    Shit hot, brilliant mix, especially if they throw more greyhoundy maybe a deerhoundxgrey x bullx grey might be a better choise for the above pre ban, as deerhound might give better tenacity than collie in the mix , the dxg x bxg does sound like a good x , anybody ever worked them .? I appreciate the fact that everyone's got their own preferences regarding different crosses etc, but I really don't see the point in adding bull blood to ANY lurcher, never have. And the two best dogs I've seen taking foxes, along with everything else, and I mean everything, have been an F1 deer/grey an

    They used to be quite popular, especially for lamping, about 20-30 years ago, and seem to be getting so again. @ morton, I agree with what you say, it's just that our bitch has thrown greyhoundy, but has been easy to train, has a deerhoundy laid back nature, and is very quick off the mark and very very fast, with very good stamina She's quite a gentle soft natured sort, but can get into the no nonsense attitude in an instant, when she needs to, so she has everything we wanted, and if we breed from her in a couple of years time it'll be with the same x and type as her, there'll be no saluki,

    most whippet lines will have bull blood in it from way back in the rabbit coursing day it shows up in some line to this day more so in some lines than in others robert Yep, go back far enough and plenty of 'purebred' dogs of all descriptions will have bull blood in em

    They aren't used as much as they should be because people believe what they read what's put up about em on here, by alot of people who've never even owned one, crap feet, no stamina, poor agility, no brains etc etc, or if they have it was an ex racer, which obviously isn't going to have the field craft and experience of a purpose bred lurcher which has been brought along in the field with a good owner. They are just as good, and sometimes a damned sight better, than many lurchers.

    Check mike browns web site.If you like what you see give him a bellyou won't go wrong with a mike brown whippet he breeds big strong whippets I agree with you,mine although not direct from mike has made 23 1/4 Don't know much aout M B whippets or how long he's been breeding em, but big purebred whippets have been around for many many years. I owned a 22.5 tts dog 25 years ago, and his sire was same size, dam was almost 21 tts, both had laguna in em but mainly nevedith and some nimrodel lines. Also seen plenty of purebreds of well over 20-21 tts, dogs and bitches, for many many years, and t

    Wouldn't slip her on any hares at all yet mate. 7.5 months she's stll very much a puppy, wouldn't really be giving her many runs on rabbits either to be honest. Just get her out and about like you've been doing, but restrict the amount of rabs she runs, all to easy to ruin a young keen pup. There's no rush, and come september you'll still have a keen fresh dog that is able to take on a heavier workload. A T B

    I've had 3 very good hare killers under 23tts, mostly whip/grey with a tiny dash of collie, 1 dog and 2 bitches, and as skycat says, they were all very fast, and caught the majority of their hares within about 20-30 secs. Hunted up during day, and lamped though. No saluki in any of my dogs ever, just don't like em. Anyone else have smaller types without saluki in that were good on hares, hunted up or fair law?

    Good quality BARF. Wouldn't feed mine anything else now. Dogs look, and are doing great on it. Quite a few suppliers about too, so shouldn't be too hard to come by.

    Following on from 'small dogs on hares' how many guys prefer to use big dogs on rabbits rather than smaller dogs, say 24-25tts upwards? I don't mean ferreting, just general daytime/mooching.
  23. shaaark
    Depends on the breeds in the sire and dam, like u say, luck of the draw. Our bitch's sire 1st x collie/grey 25tts, dam 1st x deer/grey 26.5tts, but she eded up at 29tts

    So you haven't seen hares chopped just out of their seats ,before they are able to get into their stride?Folk law my arse. Nowadays, and for many years, fair law hasen't and does not come into it. And for me, as a non courser, can't see it happening. I want my dog to catch what it's running, not just chase it then see me waving it goodbye, it's hunting to me, not sport or fun As I said twice ,"each to their own," but would you get the same satistaction out of your dog making a catch of a hare that has been kicked up under your feet and caught immediately ,as a catch that happen
