  3. Deerhound X Greyhound

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    had 3 off platts.1st one pulled his 1st roe at 7 months,1st and 2nd hare at 10 months,1st rabbit at 11 months,1st fox at about 7 months and that was his last except 2's up. that was a 3/4 deerhound 1/4 grey. 31''tts and could definietly could catch rabbits and never stopped hunting.great around the house.can't think of any thing bad about him.2nd one pretty much the same as above but entered her on fox much later and she stopped a few on her own no problem,loads of roe daytime but wouldn't pull them at night for some reason.she died aged 2 after jumping a fallen tree and getting kebabed on a branch,walking home up jumped another one and she still ran after it.she was 1/2 x about 28''.3rd one was my best though she was a 1/2 x about 27 and she was put down due to a working injury.my best breed on dog is the deer/grey and i don't mind anyone knowing i'm kennel blind as feck.all jumped for fun,easyish to train to a good standard.i don't know about lacking in bottle or not wanting it,i found there attitude to work was writing cheques that there body's couldn't cash.i'll get another couple in the spring.£300 each.pleasure to own but i think the modern deerhound biggest problem is there to big if you want serious numbers but they make an excellent sporting dog in there own right.proper all rounder in my eyes.[/quote

    Sounds like there good workers but prone to injury iv had a lot of bull xs over the years and just lost my old one a couple of weeks ago so I'm now fancying a change of breed and really like the deerhound x grey

    Hello I was given a load of racing pigeons for ferret food and have been told by someone that you cant feed them racing pigeon that has had its vaccinations as its contains things that will harm your ferrets I was just wondering if this is true as I don't want to feed them something that could harm them
