Deerhound

[deanflute 550]

There seems to be alot of talk on here about deerhounds lately, are they becoming the new "must have"? I know they have been used in lurcher breeding for a very long time and are capable dogs but as I say there just seems alot of interest in them at the minute

Why not ? They were used in Lurcher breeding long before the Bull X's and Saluki hybrids came allong ;

I know they were, there just seems to be alot of interest in them. I'm not knocking them, just wanting to know why the sudden rush of deerhound posts?

[DottyDoo 500]

i dont think theyr has been a sudden rush, as the 2 litters i know of that are on the deck at the moment,

have been waited on for a long time now

Stunning dogs, had one in the 70's, but things move on and the Bull and saluki x proved superior in the field at there respective jobs

But surely thats because they're waiting for the right breeding and not just any two dogs put together? Just looking through the last 6 or 7 pages there is quite a bit of deerhound talk where as 3 or 4 months ago there was nothing. It's only an observation and I've got nothing against the breed what so ever

And I'm not knocking Bull or Saluki X;s; Never had a Bull X, but have seen some good 'uns ! I've had pure and X Salukis, some good, some not so good ! LOL! But breeds come into fashion and out of fashion to some folk ! But some people just keep to the cross they know and trust; be it Collie X, Deer X, or whatever,. Don't go with the new fad..... stick with what does the job for you

 

Cheers.

So would you say that Bull and Saluki X's prooved superior to Deerhound X's at Roe, especialy daytime...... Pre Ban, of course !

 

Cheers.

Not much experiance at Roe, was'nt me chosen quarry pre ban, but knew a fair few lads that ran em, they most ran saluki cross day time, no doubt a good deerhound cross would put up a good show though

Young lads seem to follow the latest must have lurcher,i like to think that once theyve cut their teeth on the "must have lurcher" they realise they need something a little more versatile and go to the old type tried and tested lurchers.
