So deer hounds aren’t capable of taking any type of deer? Or is it just that there are other breeds that are more suited to taking the smaller species? (am not trying to take the mik I am interested. Thanks. Youngshot.

any dog with a bit of bottle and can run a bit [not stupid things like terriers ] but i have seen them have the odd one .it is not that hard to catch deer with dogs , except in the day ,after all you are puting the deer at a dissadvantage by shining a bright light in their eyes ,i have used and seen alsorts take them ,[iT IS SEEING THEM DO IT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AND TAKE ALL THE BUMPS WITH IT ] some of the best dogs i have seen doing this job you would laugh at how they were bred medium to small ,and some of these big bull xcould only manage the odd night [im not saying all but i have seen a lot ] there is no certain type this is what i have experienced preban.

i think it depends what lines they are from mate working or show.

 

deerhound x grey will of definitely done it in the good old days as i saw a few do it day and night. you dont always need bull blood to get the result but they do look very good doing it.

O.k guys in your opinion, what type of X do you think makes a good deer dog, and are there any preferences as to what cross works better with the type of deer you hunt?
