Deerhound And Deerhound X


Recommended Posts

took a long drive to my mate today and we went walking over the hills and far away,had the deerhound and the d/h x with us.Hes a magnificent beast I must say and what a temprement,like a big softie.Shane was telling me he has not much done with him as hes just reaching 2 years old and with the weather all this season and the condition of the land not too many oppertunities had arose.Next season he will be busier.The 1st x is a half sister to the dog and has had a few bits and pieces,fox,rabbit and a few hares.for the last few weeks she was in season and was not run at all.I ran with her a few months ago and she has a hell of a turn of speed and I wirtnessed her take 1 hare alone.Even if they dont catch they are mesmerising to watch.Shes had a nice ammount of rabbits on the lamp and has fared very well at those with little problems taking them.Her height(27 inches) has not been a problem to her.heres a few photos of the 2

Jigsaw that bitch looks great, and the pure dog doesn't look overly tall if that bitch is 27". Those grey pups look little belters, good luck with them :thumbs:

hes 30 inches and solid with a temper if called for,I cant wait for next season either to see him run,I'll have a lot of good days on the coast with that bunch.lol

origionally way back,doxhope but a lot of local stuff thats proved to be worthy of breeding to.he had a stunner of a bitch a few years back and she wasnt up to scratch,he put her to sleep even though he was offered a nice sum of money for her.He knew the buyer only wanted to breed litters from her so wouldnt sell.he keeps a good line of dogs but rarely breeds from them until he needs one himself.

really like the deerhound x looks like it can shift :thumbs:

pip she is very fast off the mark and can turn very well too.I do enjoy and admire the breed but i prefer a saluki x myself.the d/h's are much more exciting to watch though I think.

:thumbs: Our bitch's dam is a doxhope 1st x 26.5tts, her sire is a 1st x collie/grey 25"tts, but she's ended up fractionally under 29"tts and thrown really greyhoundy. My son has put a couple of pics up on the thread 'THE girl dog', he was bored lol. She's 16 months standing in 1st pic, she'll be 3 in about 2-3 months, and the 2nd pic was taken last saturday with my pup, he's 1/4 deerhound 3/4 greyhound. That brindle dog pup next to the black pup in the pic you put up by the doorway has a 'proper' look about him lol :thumbs:
