Deerhounds

[THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558]

I’ve seen a few coursing types mates to deerhound greys and they were decent at most things 

and that’s the only way I would ever see myself owning one to be honest 

nice f1 bitch back to a string coursing dog , staghound type build , broken coated and tough

"more bright" . According to THLs very own Galileo Galilei.

 

Any film of deerhounds coursing Billy? 

But back to the subject in hand deerhounds. I feel that at 30" they have just become to big, basically show dogs, any that do manage do so more in spite of rather than because of their size. Go back to real working animals and you find nearer 26". At that time they likely could to Moore than exercise a hare.

 

 

I would break them simple ghay would not be able ta take the style of work I would expect atb bill

Same as most of these bull crosses around at moment. Alot of the time, even if it's only got an 1/8th bull blood, it's a 'bull cross' lol. Said dog might be a cracker, but it aint a bull cross

 

So if it's only got bull terrier and greyhound in it what is it then a greyhound x

Didnt it go to his son in law, I think the pup I gave him just before he died went to him

I don’t know mate because nobody got back to me I was supposed to go out  digging with him before he died as we were going to meet up at the great Yorkshire show as he was judging the border terriers there.i know he told me loads of people were wanting the bitch off him as she was a stunning looking dog and a very fast one at that.she was called Bess.
