jacksbignose 8 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'd have suggested a D'hound/H'hound or possibly a Beddie/G'hound. You could of course find a good working line-bred/lurcher to lurcher dog that is broken/rough coated and likely as not it'll have all of the crosses mentioned before mixed in there somewhere! Is your bitch a 1st x or a 3/4 G'hound? Personal preference but If it's a 1st X I'd be looking to ensure the stud dog is lighter framed so that the pups don't throw too heavy... but then again some folks like a dog with a bit of weight as it's reckoned to have a bit more stay for a day/nights work. Actually thinking about it, though I prefer a lighter framed animal, my best dog was heavier framed but for me never lacked speed except on the occasional very fit end of winter, daytime hare (preban)!

fox digger 1,086 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 id go deer grey first cross or else 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound if you can find a good working one, im sure trevor of cooklands deerhounds would have somthing suitable. i have great success with this cross, good genuine grafters and all rounders. good feet, more than likely broken coat specially with your bitch being a first cross, decent size and placid out, well worth a thought imho. let us know what you decide, Quote Link to post

davewil 2 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 thanks for your reply sounds gd, my dog is very good and am more than pleased but looking for bit more id go deer grey first cross or else 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound if you can find a good working one, im sure trevor of cooklands deerhounds would have somthing suitable. i have great success with this cross, good genuine grafters and all rounders. good feet, more than likely broken coat decent size and placid out, well worth a thought imho. let us know what you decide, Quote Link to post

fox digger 1,086 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 try asha on this site, he has a lovely 1st x deer/grey that he has, ive seen pictures of him and the pups he throws, looks impressive. do you think you would get enough speed back from the two first crosses tho??
