Popular Post Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted August 31, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bred several litters in the 1980s/1990s,..we worked them most nights,... Straight cross twixt Ardkinglas Deerhound and Irish Coursing Greyhounds.. The next cross, back to the Greyhound was always far more agile and useful product. Great dogs for the Roe... We then put our 3/4 bred hybrids over big whippets...then we were cooking... Terrific old-style longdogs,.great to see lads still enjoying them... 23 1 Quote Link to post
fazza123 513 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Proper old fashioned lurchers there Phil, crackers Yes the 3/4 bred sounds like an ideal cross for the tasty stuff. 1 Quote Link to post

I seem to remember reading about deerhound/ greyhound/ collie in the old shooting news. 1 Quote Link to post
two crows 3,342 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 3 hours ago, fazza123 said: So you wouldnt rush to get one then two crows. I've been thinking about one for a while but ideally I'd like one x bull/greyhound but you dont see many being bred. no mate I would not, I remember them in the seventy's, they were no good then, yes you will get a good one here and there bound to, but to me a far better option is a lurcher x lurcher that's deerhound based, a far better animal, imho 3 1 Quote Link to post

His was half bull half deerhound he then put it to a grey hound and did a repeat mating as the pups were all doing the business, I think There a lass on here who has one , mate mine had one and was doing good till it killed itself Quote Link to post

Caravan Monster 323 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Can't help thinking of deerhound / greyhound crossed to one of @jigsaw kelpie / greyhound litter, could produce some steady general knock around lurchers in years to come if they come good. 1 1 Quote Link to post

dogmad riley 1,337 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I run a 1st cross. This will be her 2nd full season working so hopefully she will develop more. They are very slow to mature compared to other breeds. She stands at 28tts. She is 28 months old She has caught rhfd. She is very fast and turns well . She picks her strikes now and then on the big stuff which can be frustrating. Her stamina is not what I thought, thought it would of been better tbf. 4 Quote Link to post
