My mate just had an accidental litter a 5/8 bull cross over a lab bitch I think they'd be handy 

I bet they will sounds like a handy sort suitable for most things and situations

A couple of my mates have had Lab/Greyhounds.

John, who used to write in the early EDRD mag, under the name Greylab. His dog was a decent animal on the lamp, but excelled around an earth, as John done more digging than anything else. His dog loved foxes.

My other mate Andy has had a couple, he's a lamper and his dogs are ran on anything he finds in the beam. Again, they have both been spot on fox dogs, as he loves running them on that quarry.

When I saw the title I thought of your mate Paul he took a serious number of foxes I only saw tb bell run of this cross I went out with him regularly a good dog on all edible didn't like teeth but he was a very clever runner tough as old boots he took some gear and knocks but had good feet coat and I don't recall him ever being laid up he was put to gs booey they produced some decent pups

My niece came over from New Zealand and bought a Lab from Lochside Kennels in Scotland.

I had it in my kennel until she sorted out the paper work to take it home.

I had it out one day with a mates 3/8-5/8 bull cross and the bull cross got a bit naughty and the Lab sorted it out !

I was seriously impressed. 
When I used to hunt with Mally, he had a Lab that came out with us, it could clear deer fences with ease, it’s the only non-running dog that’s got it’s picture on my man cave wall ! LOL !

 

Cheers.

So if that was a bit faster and more athletic (ie, bred to a longdog) it would make a very useful dog id imagine… they would maybe make a better cross when mixed with a fast coursing dog, rather than a greyhound if the pups have a tendency to be a bit cloddy. I think that bit of Saluki adds a bit more athleticness rather than just pure speed .. maybe
