I am an english man myself ,they live hard here if they chase a deer. Mostly coon and bear. How bout horses?
I have had all manner of coondogs, and breaking one off deer is a pain, to say the least. A dog that will run deer never makes a good tracking dog. If they are willing to run a healthy deer anyway, they will leave a blood-trail in a heartbeat if they come across a hot deer track laid by a healthy deer. A little dose of tri-tronics, and a good dummy collar is the only sure-fire way to break one off deer in my experience (and it's not always sure-fire). My dogs won't chase a horse but once, the ones I raise usually never do. Other's dogs who chase my horses get one warning.
