Tom's Deerhound/greyhound Pup

[Plucky1 1,119]

For those that were asking to see the progress of my son TOM's pup,well he's 10 months old now and despite his size and tender age seems to be coming along just fine,typical D/H cross though very laid back and can look a bit single paced at times,he stands 28"TTS and can clear 5 bar gates for fun,loves jumping, we've lamped him a few of times and let him have a couple of runs on his own to see how he'd do and to our surprise he took rabbits easily so over the last few weeks we've let him run a few bolters without a net on to see how he would fair in daytime, its tempting to do more with him but due to his size and age he will be held back a bit longer and only out at weekends for a bit of mooching and ferreting with the terriers, WM

 

up it gets and the dog is slipped

 

dog gets into his stride

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

his retrieving is quite good but he can be excitable

You can see the pup make the classic mistake of over running the rabbit having to turn back completely on himself, the look of surprise said it all for me,WM

 

 

"Tom and Fin"

they make a good team as they are both laid back

I do have a soft spot for the deerhound crosses. He's a fine looking dog and looks to be off to a great start.

 

Hope it continues and all the best to your lad.

Iv been out with Tom and his dog Finn. An he is going to make one hell of a dog! He has put a lot of time to this dog! and with his dad's help I think we will all be hearing a lot more of this dog over the coming seasons!

nice looking young dog that , i never found size a prob with big dogs picking up rabbits, my young dog Buck 28in gets 20s most time out and had 36 rabbits when lamping, so size is no prob. But i will say even though he is 28in, his physic is a lot different to a long dog. he is more like my 1x collie x grey in shape, he not over rangy like long dogs are , if you see what i mean . these big dog will deff fill your freezer no prob
