Yes Neil this dog is a handy little animal and as good a digging dog there is anyone would have him in their kennels ....out of DCs Jim .....I noticed when he was a pup he was a natural retriever and alway carried something in his mouth a trait from his sire I was told . I like to have all my dogs to as good a level as I can get them training wise and he was very easy to train but as a pup but I didn’t get on with him as he was sulky and unsociable but once he started working and he had a purpose he changed pretty much over night .... As Neil says I nearly lost him last season while

It wasn’t too bad it was an easy down hill drag ...but the other lad I was with had another 2 that were quite a drag ...both were over 200 yard shots showed by the range finder I had changed bullets in the .308 from 150 gr to 168 gr luckily I put a few rounds on the target first as the difference was more than I thought it would be more than 4 inches at +/_150 yards

Out today on the hill ...not easy stalking today as they were all on the tops with flat ground all around ...with plenty of eyes I got myself in position and manage to judge where they would go in the north wind ....dropped 2 and the weather was spring like up there ...days like this make my job magical

I worked deerhound crosses but adding saluki based blood just gave them that little bit extra but also adding the right deerhound blood to the saluki types and breeding tight gave us a better animal that really tries and you can give some stick

I don’t know what the craic was ...the stag in question would never have held hinds during the rut ...maybe there was a hind with a smell about it ....but he was definitely acting like a stag during the rut chasing and gather hinds and I watched him on a few occasions lift his head and roar .....there’s a lot of strange things happening in nature these days ....we saw a pair of swifts going about 2 weeks ago

They have to have it in them though I had a bitch the same time as him they grow up together but this bitch had no training in her she just Wanted to kill stuff the only thing I could train her to do was sit and retrieve stuff but I couldn’t work her on top she would get a scent take a line and go ...And murder on livestock fur or feather ..what a digging bich she was you could dig everyday to her a real stamp that looked like a dog ...I put her back down to Wales to the lad that bred her as he ran out of terriers and I started a new job ..she has seen some amount of graft ..just got a pup out
-
The thing is most lads don’t know what they have and don’t give them the oppertunity to be an all rounder ....as a lot of digging dogs are out of a box dropped in a hole job done .....this lad from when he was a pup was alway carrying something and still does it to this day when ever he’s out his kennel he picks something up and will carry it about all day ...seemingly his sire was the same ....and I just worked on that trait ....a very biddable terrier that is probably the dog I take most out when I’m out and about doing my job as a keeper as he has many uses ....but what he was bred for as

It’s hard getting really tested deerhound blood these days in this country but if you can and you mix it with some decent saluki based stuff you can give them some stick and they take some beating ....for my type of work anyway

They were smaller than I thought ...put it this way when we were loading them up they were no more weight than my terrier ....like I say they were a joy to watch really stuck to their line and stuck very tight together once they started speaking ....they had never hunted this type of ground nothing even close to it so they done very well considering also the master and whips knew what they were doing and had a real passion for their wee beags
