david jones 97 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Very true in my opinion Pablo there slow growers but well worth the wait in the end it's my ones 1st season few hairy moments on the lamp to do with fences, but that's to be expected with any pup, she Loves a bit of ferreting to, but my whippet runs rings around her at that game lol 1 Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I bet the are , the not stupid. I saw some big handy half crosses. Some of the ones we saw work was crossed to a collie greyhound. But the other man fereting,etc, his other dog had collie/ grey in it. His blue deer/ghound nail a few fox [BANNED TEXT] he was just walkn, an good experienced area for foxey Quote Link to post
BlackStreak 498 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 This cross and the line breeding of them are the supreme coyote dogs of the planes states in the US. I use one for boar. Very fascinating dogs but in fairness, the stag (what we call them) is about the only working sight hound or long dog left working in the US that's not crossed up with other catch dogs like my finder holders 1 Quote Link to post

pablo esc 1,598 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I remember around the eightees a few lurchers around with the deerhound in the mix or lurcher to lurcher cross. Saw a few half cross and as blackstreak said line bred. I saw a straight deerhound other year, the man used to take deer with his cross but this dog hadnt took one.it run a bit. Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Brian Pether used to breed some very handy ones in the 80's ithink his daughter carried it on ?? My mate had a big brindle dog bout 28/29" tts. Never caught till he was bout 18months old but once it clicked he took every thing very good hare dog 2 Quote Link to post
BlackStreak 498 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is mine. He isn't an F1 cross but rather line bred or bred best to best for generations out of coyote dog stock. To illustrate how hard of a dog he is, I have posted a picture of him holding a big toothy boar caught 1 out by him. 8 Quote Link to post
