I personally think that's where lads went wrong with deerhound crosses.  The auses and yanks had right idea . Jmho pal . Breed for work . Cull the wastage 

How many people do you know that cull ? I, personally, only know two, they never sold a pup, they culled and gifted pups to like minded people.

99% sell the pups on , that’s just a sad fact of the game .

Cheers.

@chartpolskithey bought them in at a year old brother and sister but I’ll double check I’ll get a picture of the brother this season if we get a day out all get you up if you want

Here’s my 2 pence worth haha I think charts is right in majority of cases, the variation in litter would put most off, but again how many folks want the same types sure the smaller ones would suit other folk an vice versa

 

and if you was gonna use summat like one these modern day coursing dogs, iv said it before on here years go im sure, I class them modern day coursing dogs as the new age greyhounds let’s face it they been bred to do the job of the old coursing greys, and they do it well, they throw to type 99% of time an the decent bred ones are real hardy animals, so usin one them over most types wether they be full breed or a half cross should throw to type, I know the lads who bred there halfx bull greys to them had pretty even litters, so should work in theory

I’m not doubting you mate, the bitch could easily have thrown to the whippet side. That’s what I’ve been saying, the first cross generally throws to type, once you get other types in the mix , you get more chance of a greater variance in the litter. 
Best of luck with them and it would be a pleasure for me to see them work

Cheers.

That why we got the coursing dog its called improvement, but they still do same job don’t they? Still throw to type and also have a lot of greyhound blood in them so I’d say they have a fair bit in common haha

A coursing bred is more like a non ped saluki

I traced my old deer crosses deerhound pedigree back and the only time greyhound was added was when Anastasia Noble got KC permission to add greyhound to her Ardkinglass line and then five generations later of going back to pure deerhound they were KC registered again.

But my point is they are more or less a type a themselves these days, but purely bred for function so crossing one them to another dog would throw less variety than using most other types a lurcher haha

 

and deny it an try justify it al you want but as far as I’m aware the coursing dog would be nowhere near what it is now without the greyhound blood haha 1/8th haha haha
