Deerhound Cross,

[border lad 1,047]

I was reading CPs, topic with interest, I had that breed, in the late 60s, it was a common breed back in those days,they have a very kind and gentle temperament, for such a large hunting dog, mine were the 3/4 grey/1/4 deer hound,all around the 28" mark, with good broken and rough coats, colour, was 2 grey blues, and 2 fawns, with a nice beard, on one, very good feet,good bone, and good length,

to there backs, could do all what was required from them, pick up a running rabbit with no problems, they are really a good dog once they get balanced out, and fully developed, ((( around 18 months /2 years old, it was a natural ability to carry back to you and jump like a Stag,((( but when you are a young Laddie, 2 years seems a long time to wait, for your young fellow to come to the fore, and in those days, there was a lot of knowledgeable, dog men about, hunting had Freedom, and of course you had to be a bit thick skinned to stand all, the jesting, that was throwing at you, and your hound, so in all, it is interesting to hear, of the revival of that famous old breed of Lurcher, (((( for me the collie x with a smidgen of saluki in for lung power, are very hard to beat,

I know what you mean about holding them back, BL; mine is only 9 month, and my heart is in my mouth when she takes off on a "fun run" across the plough, or takes a sheep netting fence in her stride at full speed !! It's easy to see how people with less experience of the bigger breeds might be tempted to start them to soon, but I think they take longer to mature than the "normal" Lurcher breeds. I'm in no hurry with Lima, her training and growing is going well, she'll have all summer to be a pup, and maybe start her around september.

 

Cheers.

I wondered how long it would be before you came on with youre inane and illiterate comments !! Whin, I've owned and ran all types of pure and cross bred dogs for over 40 years, not just here, but all over the world...and seen your super dogs down in the south of the States,and yes, they are great dogs, just like the Boar Dogs in Oz and NZ, and the Salukis, Sloughi's, Tazi's and Borzois of the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, etc. !! But we are talking about DEERHOUND X's HERE IN THE UK !! As far as I'm concerned, they have NEVER been away, and are no worse, probably better, than the dogs of the ''s !! There ARE plenty of lads running Deer X's with great success at the moment; just 'cause you haven't seen them, doesn't mean they're not there !!

 

Cheers.

Whin, stop being a dope, mate !! Obviously I can't tell you the last time I caught a hare, unless it was pre ban !! But believe me, there are Deer X's around who would do winter hares if the ban wasn't here !! I used to show pics of my catches, but some arseholes caused trouble; so no pics of catches now !! If you honestly think that there isn't Deer X's doing the business now, then you are not realy in the game !

 

Cheers.

I'm not talking Fen dogs or match dogs, I'm talking genuine, all round dogs !! You move the goal posts so often it makes me dzzy !! I know of Deer X's right now, this minute, that would make your hair curl !! You sound like an amateur, mate, not the seasoned dog man you claim to be ! If you haven't seen any good Deer X's... so be it, you aren't looking in the right places !

WHIN why do you always have to put SCOTTISH DEERHOUNDS when every

one just puts deerhounds we know they are a scottish bred we dont

need reminding all the time.

As already said the thread is about the deerhound x not the saluki,

collie,bedlington or bull but you have to go and spoil yet another

good thread by saying you had this your mate had that.

iv seen them take longears in ireland,my mate had a deerxwhip /whipetxgrey and she had great staying power, rarely got injured and she had a habit of tracking them if shed lost it as she had a great nose.i reckon these qualities came from the quater deer

Whin, you don't ask civil questions mate !! You jump on every thread and tell us all that the dogs we are talking about, wether it be Deerhounds, Saluki's, Whippets, etc., are shit and not as good as your dogs or the dogs you had or the dogs your mates in America have !! EVERY SINGLE THREAD is the same reply !! You are the only "true hunter", no one else tests their dogs, only you !! I've had numerous PM's asking if you are mad, crazy, etc.; my reply has been that I don't know you, and don't realy want to !! Get a life mate !

 

Cheers.
