A true stag is not wolfhound greyhound cross,the less wolfhound influence the better for a faster dog. A staghound is suppoosed to be A "SCOTTISH DEERHOUND x PURE GREYHOUND" The word "STAG" originates from dogs(scottish DEER hounds used to take down "stag deer",Usually a line of dogs is form from this direct cross and is continued to be called staghounds,half the litter may be slick haired and the other half long haired or broken coated like a jack russell. My dad has a very successful racing greyhound operation in australia and growing up we always used stags of the deerhound cross for roos and foxes and the crosses we used on hogs had some wolfhound influence but they were bulkier and heavier footed,the wolfhound influece makes them slower off the mark but once at full stride they are like a thorobred. I have found some breeders up around Kansas that keep some pure deerhounds for topping up there blood over the greyhounds and are using them on coyotes. Pure greyounds or hot bloods are extremely thin skinned and injure easily,they have problems with hair falling out around ther thighs etc. if you do not manange their protien intake especially in the summer but from experience i have never seen a stag outrun a hotblood greyhound on a average 200 yard slip,over a 500 to 600 yard chase on quarry thats a different story!! Heres my stag i use for a RCD,he has a splash of airdale on his mommas side.
