| I dont anymore Bakesy but bred and ran them for years,a great breed of dog too. Every farming community always had a few blokes that bred their own line.. btw the good old Aussie name for the lurcher type is "staghound"

| What was in yours Gryph? I think the origional make up was boarder collie and greyhound.

| The original settlers used Scottish deerhound x greyhound crosses and that was the standard for years. Some infused Airedale into the line as well. I used greyhound x staghound (Gxdh) and infused 1/8th English bull for a resultant smart 90 pound intelligent breed that would walk over coals with courage,fast enough to catch any fox alive and big and tough enough to handle any boar AND an extremely gentle people dog a very important factor to the family man.
