Newest boy: Wuzho the Staghound
I found him via petfinder...listed as a greyhound/deerhound mix b/c Staghound isn't a breed option on PF. He was rescued off a Staghound puppy farm as a pup and lived in a home for 5 years before the owner remarried and Wuzho decided he wanted to eat the new wife's kitties. Their loss, our gain!!!

He definitely has the temperament of a greyhound, but the movement of a deerhound. His coat is wiry and longer than a deerhounds would be, but not by too much. A wonderful addition! Now I'm always on the lookout for another staghound

The pic from petfinder:


His first RMB! I think he's excited!!


He gets along *wonderfully* with all the greyhounds...


And such a kissable face!!

Congrats on the new furkid! He's a very handsome boy. Wow you've really got a full house now. LOL I don't know how you keep up with them all. Must be a lot of fun. I love the group shot. I just want to run in there and play with them myself.

Cass.

Adorable. He looks kind of like a mini Wolfhound with less bulk.

Question
Thanks so much for sharing photos of your staghound! I first heard of them about 12-15 years ago. There was an ad in Dog World for an American Staghound club. Being a life-long lover of sighthounds I of course mailed off a request for more information, but never received a reply

I'd sort of forgot about them until I began searching for an appropriate sighthound to be my future service dog. Turns out from talking to staghound owners on-line (another forum) they wouldn't be right for me since I have active in-door kitties though. There is sure not much information about staghounds on-line.... I couldn't find anything about that club from years ago & of course I don't have that old magazine anymore. From what was said on the other forum, there aren't staghound breeders per se.... Seems most pet staghounds are rescued from ranchers/owners who no longer need their coursing services or were dogs who didn't do their job well enough. They say it's sort of like rescuing greyhounds but on a smaller scale.

Does that info sound accurate to you?

~*~*And he says 'Rhiannon don't go.... Rhiannon stay'.... And he still cries out for her.... 'Don't leave me.... don't leave me now'....*~*~

Sounds about right to me. Our boy was originally rescued as a puppy from a mass breeder in Florida...I believer there were about 50 or so other staghounds rescued at the same time.

From talking to other staghound owners (that have them as pets), they say they are always tempted to adopt every staghound they come across b/c they are so difficult to find and they never want to be without one. I know what they mean...I always want a staghound now. A wonderful breed....

They've been around for a few hundred years..the offspring of staghound-staghound breeding. You can't just cross a deerhound and a greyhound to get a staghound. Though they aren't recognized by any kennel club....so by many people's standards, they would just be mutts...or lurchers/longdogs.

Our staghound was returned from his first home for supposedly wanting to eat the resident kitties of the new wife....but he hasn't given our kennel kitties a second look when he's been around them...so who knows.

Wuzho is really gorgeous! He has such a sweet-looking face. How many dogs do you have now? Is that six, or are some missing from the group shot?
