forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I saw a deerhound x Lab the other day. Basically looked like a 26" golden lab If it had even an once of prey drive about it (and I honestly dont know one way or the other) it would make an awesome covert poaching dog. You could take that dog anywhere an no one would bat an eyelid! I suspect that performance would have been the main issue with it, although who knows!?!? there was a litter of lab x wolfhounds bred by a member on a reptile forum i used to frequent,years back,dunno what they turned out like but they sold real quick. there is a dog thats either a lab x poodle or golden retriever x poodle around here that looks like a large lurcher,the poodle was the big ones like what used to be on eastenders with dirty den Quote Link to post

But I definitely had to double take before i realised it was anything other then a really leggy lab, even close up and if entered normally am sure it would have been good for a couple of rabbits Quote Link to post

Yeah thats the sort of thing it may have been useful for grabbing stuff like that out of cover before it managed to take off. It looked that much like a lab you could have walked past the keepers cottage dragging a bag full behind you and no one would bat an eyelid lol, Not the sort of thing I would have taken a chance with as a pup though as i bet the rest of the litter could have turned out looking fairly lurcher esque but without enough speed to be of much general use Quote Link to post
