It’s gone a bit quiet, so here’s a pic of a working deerhound my pal sent up to Scotland to work with a golden eagle; Cheers.    

Here's a few pics....some of these are from the 2003 windmill double handed coursing comp that Sally  won...and some from 2004 she was runner up...Sally has the red collar  Geoff Ogden slipping h

Didn't know Buster Bloodvessel was in to hare coursing...

Ah yes indeed

Tales of Buster skimming the slop something frantic were legion by dint of an oversized tongue, a heath robinson hover craft affair if you will

I hear performances of 8 minutes plus weren't uncommon before blowing up and the charge rendered hors de combat for several months

I'd simply find the biggest, hardest, most smashed, bull greyhound hybrid, and make a fecking killing on the pups... 👌

These 2 are smart, bull not usually my thing but 2 nice looking things these.

Yes. From a Billy Doherty in Northumberland .

The sire to the one in the snow was Doxhope Knights Errant and he told me the two on the cover of his book “Deerhounds and Deerhound Lurchers  “, these two;

were her grandparents and the bitch , Doxhope Ambecky, which is pictured in the book jumping a gate, was the best working pure he had.

Doxhope Knights Errant is the grand sire to the bitch I have now.

Cheers.

I think a first cross deer grey put back to a pure saluki could work thow 

A fella I knew years ago bought a 1st cross deer/grey bitch off an old mate of mine.

Bred her to tor of dartmoor, and kept a dog pup back for himself out of the litter.

At about 10-11 months of age, he offered me the sapling for free.

Watched him have a couple of gallops, then refused the offer.

Was probably the gangliest, most ungainly looking running dog I've ever seen.

Was like he couldn't coordinate his legs with his body.

Saying all that mind, he was 30" tts and still had a fair bit of maturing to do, but it didn't instill much confidence or hope lol.

Yes I can imagine there would be a lot more bad ones than good ones, not sure what a deerhound could add to benefit any lurcher, I think some people just like the look and size of them

Pretty much what i like about them, look, coat , temperament, don’t get me wrong could be doing with something a bit smaller 🤣
