DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 There is more to a Deerhound x than rabbit and hares, and as for a lack of heart! I would show you but I would get banned......... Admittedly they do take an age to mature and level out. I was out last night running my 27inch dog against a 21inch saluki/whippet bitch and they was about even on rabbits.... However my lad would more versatile if you know what I mean.... And you don't have to go to a specific breeder for one...... 4 Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,809 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 the deerhound x's ive seen are all hunting well at 12-14 months and by 15-17 months are capable of anything.some went a bit sooner than that.im crossing my sal/greyhound with a 1st x d/hx g/h later on this year.shes shown shes determined and gutsy and very fast,shes only taken rabbit and hare at the moment but thats due to the owner rather than the dog.I have no doubt she will do anything asked of her.theres not that many bred too often that i know of but worth waiting for if your after one Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Touch wood. My bitch got thin skin, had few cuts from fences, but never torn really bad...and seems to heel in next to no time. Nice bitch that though. Quote Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 lets be honest,...........questions like this ,........really are a little small minded as you will never get down to the facts ........... every dog is different and every bodys standards are ,.......so its same old same old .......... and you will need to exspereience plenty of hounds from each breeder to decide for your self because trying to decide from a a question on the internet about dogs will only tell you peoples preference and you have to go out and see and make your own decisions............... 5 Quote Link to post

moonlighter 1,160 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Jigsaw, I like the sound of your planned mating. I was thinking if something similar myself, as I've got a nice saluki/greyhound dog, and I'm doing less retrieving hares and more lamping and mouching, so I thought about adding his qualities to a good deer/grey bitch. It's only a pipe dream but maybe in the future? Quote Link to post
