    While I understand what your saying Paul and in many ways agree with you, there is a fine line between more thought and far too much! If you want to keep it easy, just stick the good to good, it wont all turn out but I'd sooner take a pup from background driven by performance rather than thought.. Finding sommat that comes from a background of both is as rare as rocking horse shite!

    I honestly do think Dan is 100% on the money here, because if you are all lookin at his dogs with admiration right now, you just got to remember that he is constantly saying Deerhoundy an NOT Deerhound... Stop lookin at these big Caledonian beauties with a nostalgic tear in your eye, handsome is as handsome does..!!! No need to fetch one over either, they are here, just big fast Deerhoundy lurchers.... Put best to best and you'll be doing it right. No need to worry about whats really in its background, only questions should be, is it big, fast and really doin the job..?? To be hone

    Out of the bull bloods, then this bitch.. And out of everything else, this girl on the right of the pic weren't bad...

    Good post Baw... Though I think both Bolio an Dan have nailed it, why use a pure blood saluki (or greyhound) because good coursing blood combines the best of both...
  6. Bosun11
    Best of luck with those pups... Gotta say, for someone who has never really ran Saluki blood as it should be but would want to inject fire, pace an speed into any lurcher type, that Scouser dog really does tick all the boxes for me....

    So if we are all agreed that nowt beats a 'skinny' on daytime hares on the big land.. (?) And if we are all throwing up dogs an breeders long past, in the great Deerhound debate, is anyone taking up the mantle on this cross right now, is anyone putting enough effort into breeding this type above all other and, like the 'skinny' stuff, testing it to the max? Because although as has been said, you can get some piss poor specimens of each breed! The Saluki and it's crosses still has folk who strive for the best behind them... So, question is, has the Deerhound..?? Personally, i've never s

    Great post Chalks... I would never have ever contemplated Saluki in a lamp dog but my views on the hybrids have changed too and as you said, the Deerhound cross could be improved upon but as Inan put, they have fell out of favour, so who would pick up that mantle...??

    Edited title... Back to subject..

    I'm not a devotee of either breed but to answer your original question BG, before the arrival of the desert dogs the big Deerhoundy mutts where about as good as you'd get for the hare job, back in the day blokes like John Nuttall of Clithero bred 'em for that very job. He ran 'em all over the country and his dogs where in demand as hare killers. A few hung on for a bit too into the 80's, some folk then still couldn't get their heads round those half starved lookin stayers and still championed the Deerhoundy dogs but lets face it, they just ain't in the same league as a good Saluki hybrid o

    I'm in a 'transition period' (though mates have called it a mid-life-crisis..!! ) with dogs and am moving away from what I had before. I know what I want but finding it ain't easy...

    Nice bitch, just for the record, is she a lurcher crossed with a deerhound (or vice versa) or a deerhound cross (as in deerhound/greyhound, nowt else in the mix) ??
  13. Bosun11
    Now that black bitch is one very nice, well put together mutt and that pup looks as though she'll be even better, fine animals...

    Good on yer Stan I'm just over a week in, so far so good...

    Unless you can breed better than anything that could be bought or given, don't bother. I'm sure you could find yourself sommat with ALL the quality's you require far more easy than breeding a litter...

    My mum was a cook, so I was brought up in a house where there was always top notch grub to eat but all the time I was there I learned nothing..! I moved out at 19 and had to sort myself out, sharpish! I decided that I'd start learning to cook all the things my mum didn't, continental food, curry's etc. From there I was flying and now cook probably about 75% of the grub in our house, I love to cook and can tackle anything. Though the Mrs is catching up very nicely and now cracks on with most dishes that once only I could do. The only thing I've never done is bake, never had the need, mu

    Geoff - to be honest 44 years of dog experience means very little - I know some folk who have had many, many years experience in this game and you could write the wortwhile stuff they know on the back of a postage stamp...and on the other hand I know some lads who've had one or two dogs and a handfull of years in the lurcher game and they're pretty well clued up, and well worth listening to and know their stuff...one of the biggest idiots I know had had running dogs for over 50 years and wouldn't know a good dog if it bit his arse... Spot on..

    I'd love a bull section but all it would be is a 'bull' section. A complete ball ache to moderate, ten ton of helmets posting very stupid stuff. Maybe not at first but you know its gonna happen. The only way I think it could work would be to have folk approved to post, so only allowing a select sensible few but then you've got to ask, is that what this forum is about..?

    I used to think it was my Granddad and in many ways it is, he always seemed to have the time and patience to teach and I learned a lot BUT not until I lost my Dad did I realise just how much he influenced my life and how much I really am a product of him. In so many things I do, the way I go about things every day, I notice it more when working on the house or garden, right down to a little tune I may hum, without knowing it, as I do stuff.... Then there was that barmaid... Me at the tender age of 16, when I thought I knew it all... I really found out I didn't... Boy did she make a man
