Yes it was done Jonesboro Ga. many years ago,I ran with the owners of the hounds their was only fox to run back then 1951 the cross put some speed in his hounds,but they did not have any mouth you just could hear them. I guess every thing has been tried, I seen Julys crossed with Greyhound that did not work. So I guess we got the best today with what ever ? the cross was Walker an short hair pointer.
