EnglishBulldog 14 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hi I am a big fan of the rhodesian ridgeback and I'm a lurcher man at hart and i was wondering if this cross would be solid on rabbits and deer. And I know their are better crosses for the job but I know what I like. Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 The two unrelated rodesian x greys iv seen were worse than bad mate. And both were owned by guys who have made good dogs out other crosses infact one of them got one as his fifth lurcher in thirty odd years an its the only failure he has ever had. Id stay well clear Quote Link to post
EnglishBulldog 14 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah I've heard that mate and if it's not this cross it will be Dh/Gh x Collie/Gh. Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Id recomend a deer/grey x coll/grey or a sal/grey x coll/grey iv seen some good dogs of either type and to be honest I woukdnt let a rodesian ridgeback x sniff either of there shit haha. Atb what ever you decide Quote Link to post

blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 english bulldog.ridgebackxgreyhound would catch very few rabitts as they are going to be very big and heavy.on foxes the sheer power and weight would make them into fox destroyers preban also on deer preban they would be excellent.i would espect one or two to catch the odd hare or two preban,see .rhodesian ridgebacks vs quadbike- ridgebacks raceing /you tube very powerful dogs good stamina and not slow either Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 ridge back wouldnt get near a fox or deer unless it was roadkill no were near fast enough even x grey Quote Link to post
blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 desertbred.i canna no stand it i am going to have to breed these crosses just to prove my point.it is a well known fact that gsd could take foxes preban and a ridgeback is faster than a gsd.my german shepherds kill a fox while hunting.you tube only a young fox but two good trackers in action Quote Link to post
Richie87 401 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) My mate has got a ridgeback x grey and it does not listing to one word he says its numb. But when it did get foxs per ban it done the job in seconds it also would get the odd roe but you had to get there quik befor it minced it lol Edited April 13, 2013 by Richie87 Quote Link to post
