[flynndog 543]

Mine was line bred from proper bull x stuff from late 80s early 90s then n 98 put to a good saluki grey bitch the pups of that litter were real good then put the dog we had left over a saluki grey saluki bull grey bitch we kept 4 pups of that litter one did her cruciate ligament tendon one died in the field the best of em all a bitch I had to get pts at 6 and old man still has the other dog and bitch. The bitch who was pts was the only one I've had that took all species of deer 3 of em regular she was 26tts and built with it she was a freak not wired up right suicidal most times. I'll try find an old phone with pics on

Don't worry I'm not thinking about lining it with any type of running dog I ain't given 1500 for the breeding being it to spoil a running dog to get a load of garbage just wondered as lot of Americans rate them as catch dogs just wondered if it's been done

Towards the end ,Tom's dogs where nearly pure grey with maybe a 1/8 deerhound ,I think he got lucky with a big fawn dog called rebel  around 3/4 deerhound then just bred them to pure Grey's it was easier to get greyhounds for free then it was lurchers 

Rebel was a good 3/4 dog born early 70s but a brute of a dog by all accounts.Tom bred him to a greyhound bitch in 80s he had a good litter of 7/8 from this mating Chalky,Toney,Ted etc. Tom looked to bring in fresh blood/outcross in 90s as his dogs were up in age so he bought in a dog pup (Jed) and then a bitch pup came from AW (Laila). Jed went over a Greyhound bitch and Laila was bred to Chalky. Pups from both litters he kept back were turning out well but some had disappeared and then Toms mates where running Laila one night to bring there young dogs on when some toff shot her. Laila was the best Deerhound bitch I've seen on the job, Jed could do the job but would only jump when on a chase.The disappearing young dogs had not been stolen as thought the Jed dog had killed them, some New Age Travellers up there had had caught him in the act out on the hill one day and then Tom caught him attacking old Chalky one day so he knew they were telling the truth so he got rid of Jed.The land up there is hard on the dogs as anybody that ran up there with him will know so with injuries etc he ended back up with just Chalky and Toney. He could not get any of the pups back from the two litters he bad bred so bought in a coursing Greyhound (Misty). Chalky was bred to Misty but imo were not as good as the previous litters he had bred probs due to being only 1/16 Deerhound. He did have a very good Hare bitch (Peggy) bred out of Chalky but I'm not sure what the dam was. Peggy jumped out a horse box and hung itself when travelling back down the road one day .
