Don’t think it was Darcy’s was it? Think it was his big mates dog?? 

I remember Mik posting that he had lined a bitch with Darcys Scout?, a saluki  cross. But could be dementia .

He was very complimentary about Darcy taking the trouble to meet him and allow the meeting.

Who was the Scots lad you had a big deerhound x from?

He had 2 cracking deer/ greys from Trevor Cooke.

And yet the best dog I ever seen was a deerhound cross and its mother which was Doxhope stuff I believe put 600 roe on the floor in her working career……go figure huh ? 

And a show dog aswell!

I gave it Supreme Champion at Neilson Working Terrier Show in Glasgow.

Fancy that; a show dog that works . 
Cheers.

There was s a member called Scottish harehunter,who bred a litter of Deerhound x Wheaton bull greyhounds would have been 7)8 yrs back..wheaton side came from dogs I know from Wales....I messaged and asked for a pup...think he was asking £500/600 at the time...that's a few quid when you add up,taking time of work and driving from Wales to collect ....didn't have the decency to even message me back... thankfully another  member off here ,heard through mutual friends,that I was looking for a big rough coated runner,so  offered me my current Wheaton bull grey bitch...she ended up 27 tts and does everything I've ever asked of her...I'm glad in a way... Because everything happens for a reason

A good bigun is always handier than a good littleun ! 
I am a fan of big machines of dogs, it’s just what I like.

Correct !

I've seen quite a few first and second cross deerhound/greyhounds in my time, entered correctly and got a fair crack of the whip. They didn't do it for me, but each to their own. A lurcher type with deerhound blood amongst other types seemed to be a more versatile animal. I think the main reason first crosses were popular was simply the fact they looked the part, racy shape, rough coated and usually dark brindle/ grey etc.
