wolfehound x greyhound

[Guest lurchers&terriers]

Anyone work,have worked or seen irish wolfehound x greyhounds work? the reason i ask is my first ever lurcher was a irish wolfehound x grey. I remember my brother coming home once. he took it of his mate because he mistreated it in a big way. My family kept it as a pet but i always took it out and it would disappear and come back with a rabbit in its mouth. That got me interested and i tried to re-train her and took hunting more seriously. This bitch suffered a broken leg before we got her and her front right leg was deformed badly but it never stopped her trying her heart out. Her heart is what killed her, she suffered a heart attack due to some underlying condition. I was devastated and she died in my arms but that bitch that wolfehound cross i owe so much to. Iv always been on the look out for another but never come across any that i can afford as people seem to ask a little out of my price range. Anybody else with experience of this cross?

Without sounding funny mate you must have been lucky with that dog,i own a wolfhound and i can't see apart from a cracking coat anything they could offer to a lurcher.There size puts them at a disadvantage to start with and reading your story it was no surprise it once suffered a broken leg,i'd say stick with whats out there allready mate and just remember your old dog as a one off.Hope you don't take offence mate it's just theres a lot better x's out there to use.

Years ago a lady i knew had a accidental breeding of a wolfhound and a greyhound,a friend of mine got a bitch pup of her just to see what it would turn out like,she ended out looking like a heavy set deerhound greyhound firsh cross,she would run hare all day but had no hope at catching them,killed a odd rabbit,but would kill foxes to beat the band,and anything else else it came across on the lamp,,,he intended to breed it on to a greyhound some time later but his hopes came to a end when he was out with it and it got hit by a car,.....one thing i have to say is she had a great coat,great feet,she could gallop up a road and come back with not a scratch on her,would of been nice to see what the 3/4 greyhound 1/4 wolfhound would of been like,but things were never to be..

 

Bullx.

i got a lurcher from a bloke up glasgow whos mother was wolfhound x greyhound and he mated it with a 19" racing whippet (had to hold it on LOL) one of the very best dogs i owned.

think the wolfhound greyhound mix is to big but breed the size down and your onto a winner
