But a guy i know who’s had dogs for years which used to be mostly deer greys said to me that if am doing bull X over my bitch i’d be best starting off with a deer grey cross keeping a bitch back proving her then doing a Bull x down the line. As it’s a much better base for a lurcher line and will help down the line. As i said im a bit more new to it and never had a litter before Quote Link to post

Would certainly be less stressful and a lot quicker. Edited October 6 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post

Then i’d line her no probs but hard enough trying to find one. Mostly track dogs, which isn’t a bad thing but a working one would be ideal. Will just look like a deer x grey but slightly smaller i’d of thought Quote Link to post

THE STIFFMEISTER 17,636 Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 At 16 month old , a dog , particularly one as cumbersome as a deerhound type is no where near proven enough to breed off . a lurcher taking hares rabbits and rats, wow , stop the press for what it’s worth , I’d say that your better off holding your horses rather than getting all sentimental about having a half cross from a pup that’s had one season, if that . Another season would do you the world of good , but you seem set in it , a shame really as every man and his dog knows that scrap , put to scrap , equals scrap 3 Quote Link to post
