Terrier man 38 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Never saw his line over here but if your after a good line in working deerhounds A.charles is your man. Iv had stuff off him and know plenty of dogs off his lines and they do the business day in day out but i suppose like all lines theres the useless ones aswell just dont hear of them as much.

otter 61 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 a deerhound or a deerhound cross can sometimes take 2 years to mature and start to show interest in working ...... a good question to ask yourself is have you the time and patience to wait that long ???? 1 Quote Link to post

They can take a while to come into there own but any cross can .... You wont ever question the length of time or patience when you see a right one going...Imo there well worth waiting for.

DottyDoo 500 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 only a fool would buy a deerhound x pup, without realising that it takes them longer to mature than other dogs but there again there are some seriously foolish people out there Quote Link to post

You wont ever question the length of time or patience when you see a right one going...Imo there well worth waiting for. i was speaking from experience .... a good friend of mine owned a very handy deerhound x , he had the dog given to him as a jacker that was about to be shot . the thing was this ... the dog was no jacker just a little to young to pull fox (preban) but when he came to his own there was no faulting the dog both day time and night .... but like i say you need to be able and patient enough to wait Quote Link to post
