Thought that would be right up your street sandy 3 dogs all running at the same time

You’d think it would make for a better topic if people asked the guy about his experiences with the breed, what his reasons are for choosing one etc, instead of just jumping straight on it and trying to rubbish his idea and new pup.

painful to watch.....no fire in that example of the breed at all....

Ones we had were reared up as lurchers and even our bad ones were better than that,,,,

If this was only evidence anyone had of wolfhound running then I understand the negative points of view.

shes here now anyway just wait and see,,,

Wouldnt listen to any shit you hear on these forums, just take everything with a pinch of salt & enjoy your dogs, the self proclaimed experts often aren’t what they seem

As said they are popular over here as crosses into pig dog lines and even in purebred form sometimes,I think mainly because of there size and have some interest in game being sighthounds.I can't see them being much use in hunting fast game,they are just too big and heavy.I doubt the original dogs were that big or thickset.

long enough in the tooth to realise that,,,but thanks.

although was hard to watch lol..

We have taken lot of game with ones we had and when reared as hunting dog makes a difference in comparison to the video which seem like pets that have been given run off lead.

I remember going pig hunting as a young bloke and the other guys had their mastiff crosses and a pure wolfhound in a trailer behind the ute.We heard some thumping and when we pulled up one of the dogs had killed the wolfhound,bloody horrifying.
