Vulpes vulpes 2 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Anyone got any idea about where i could get a first cross deer/grey from? anyone know of any litters planned? I'm looking for a dog pup hopefully sometime in april. Also has anyone got any experience of seeing this cross working on various quarry day and night? Quote Link to post

roan 4 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 hows it going yeah seen this cross at every type of game and find them very usefull a jack of all trades ,,,, any ive seen or had done all quarry ,,,, some can be great hare dogs others others better on the large stuff but ive yet to see a bad one in saying that all have been breed from our working deerhounds which get as much as the lurchers and from quaility irish coursing greyhounds i wouldnt be as worried about the greyhound as the deerhound in terms of quality it just happened that the greyhounds were quality whatever happens ensure the deerhound is a good worker there is a litter like that at the moment but im afraid there all prebooked ,,,,, Quote Link to post
brother fox 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The greyhound dog over deerhound bitch offspring seem to be the better type. Quote Link to post

roan 4 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 First cross not for me to tall and slow get a three quarter, makes better dog and a good allrounder.Best off luck in your quest. not if you have the right deerhound 3/4 can be a bit soft on rough ground and lack a bit stamina but everyone to there own Quote Link to post

She used to do very well for herself, back-in-the-day. Used her head a lot more than I expected - suffice to say, she convinced me that's the type of cross I'll be keeping from here on in.

Guest mush Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 First cross not for me to tall and slow get a three quarter, makes better dog and a good allrounder.Best off luck in your quest. as you say a 3/4 G 1/4 Deerhound is a lot better than a big heavy, slow turning first cross which i found didn't have much stamina probably as they have to lug all that Wight around with them. If i had to have a first cross it would be a bitch as their a bit better . Quote Link to post
