Sighthounds mature a little later. If you are going to run them on the ground you had better watch the heat. They will overheat way faster than anything else. I’m talking half stag or more. If you are looking for an RCD, I’d run a straight catch cur before I’d use one of these crosses. Also, I break them off everything. I wouldn’t show it a coon. I start mine 12-18 months and I start them in the field. Before that they are hauled hours like any other dog in the truck, through cattle, etc…..

Most of the crosses shake and fight so much when they catch that they can do serious damage when they catch. You can imagine what would happen if they were to come up on a calf and happened to catch.

Not trying to tell you what to do or sound like a know it all, just trying to help. Sadly have seen several other people overheat them.
