    It is whatever floats your boat - some men like them to sound when work, some like them mute. Personally, a terrier to sound and then go mute as your getting close is my ideal terrier. But again, everyone has their own preferences... the same as they do with lurchers.

    Moocher, what height is she? a proven game leggy terrier over a big running hound is something I am eager to do.

    Hi Sir, your inbox is full.

    Well at least you have options now, and I would be thinking the best way forward is to put yourself in a position where you have options down the line. First thing I would do is get stalks off the dog. I would put the brother to the sister and if there is a proven bitch of a similar type that you have access to, I would put the brother over her. You have options then with father to daughter, son to aunty etc. Other way would be to get a proven dog of a similar type to put to the sister and breed the brother to the pups, but for me the first option is the better way if you can

    IMO adding terrier into the mix will only improve the DH side. A big quarter bred bitch, as DC said bull & or wheaton. Keep the biggest pups, if they prove themselves put them back to the same line of deerhound blood then after. Keep the height, good coat just adding terrier mind set. Sounds good on paper anyway.

    I have 2 hand helds that stopped charging. Anyone ever try to fix this or should I just right them off?

    Urbstar, I know nothing about pig hunting so can't comment on that. From what I have read the stag hounds/coyote hounds have bull in the breeding. As Blackneck and Riley said I'd be looking at the staghounds. A greyhound bitch and if she works try to cross her with a proven stag hound. IMO for day hunting like that you need a dog with brains to cut off stuff rather than just running after it. Best dogs I'v seen for that have had collie or dh in them. I've spent time in MD and PA the only foxes I saw were the small grey ones. I never saw any red fox. Are they plentiful where you

    IMO you need at least a touch of bull to be tackling fox regularly. From chatting with my buddies in PA there are a lot of coyotes and what they call coydogs there now. I wouldn't go spending money on importing dogs. A full dh won't have the speed your after. I reckon one of those stag hounds over a full greyhound be your best option. And don't enter the dog doubled up. Be interested to see how you are set up n a couple years time

    They transport dogs in Eire and the UK and are currently operating so thought they might be of use

    Sea salt, vinegar and a warm water. If the dog will let u spray it with a syringe or sports bottle. If not get a sponge, soak in the mixture, place it in its mouth and hold for a while. That will clean it. If if it’s very bad repeat a few times over the next few days.

    I stand by my statement with a f1 dh/gh. - the bones of 3 years to truly know what you have. Might pick a fox for you at 20 months old .... that does not mean you now know you have a single handed dog that will watch the lamp, clear fences, hit ditches, slow up on turns, and repeatedly pick what gets up in front of it.

    @jackthelad to mature. In fairness @dogmad riley makes a great point.... you can be talking the bones of 3 years before you truly know what you have with a first cross dh.

    What about a 3/8 bull 3/8 hound 1/4 dh @dogmad riley ? ?
  23. ijf
    Same here bud ?

    Yes - experienced it first hand when I was living in BC. Used to dream of having a few dhxbhxgh dogs out there. I reckon you would have serious fun if you had 4 good dogs. Only thing is game is seriously wide. Anything your after has to stay clear of bears, coyotes, wolves, cougars .. avoiding humans is easy compared to that! Getting close to slip a dog would be your issue but if you could walk through a block of wood where the deer hold up you would get serious courses
