my wee fox hound x

[irishnut 297]

not sure if you hound lads would class him as being from your stable, he is a fox hound x collie/bull/grey, amazing nose on him, great stamina, and quick. and only 8.5 month

does anyone else run a similiar dog. he's in line to be my bolting fox dog.

He looks great. Does he open up on scent? I am sure he would be dead handy on the open ground as well, maybe even catch. Its definately worth trying the bogs

Are you able to keep up with this dog once he is on a scent?

smart looker was going to ask if he opened up on a line.

[irishnut 297]

keeping up isnt a problem, he runs at a steady pace while scenting, not too fast, until he see's what he is after, he hasnt got owt yet, as i say he's really young.

he's quite bidable aswell, except around my terrier, his top enemy lol, plenty of bogs around me, another reason i got him.

should make a cracking hunter, hopefully put a few more to ground for you as well

I know a few lads keep hounds with collie blood in them and they are brillint, they say it gives the hound more speed while hunting and they are better for cover.

nice pup,interesting cross

Up to maybe 15 or 20 years ago the hound cross lurcher was common enough in Ireland with some of the best known coursing men liking the cross. If I remember correctly Kellys well known bitch Chorus was part beagle and she was a well known killer of hares.

JMHO but if you need to cross hounds with the likes of collie to make them better in covert then your using the wrong hounds.
