Definitely not a deer dog you want a scent hound for that.
Seriously there drive to chase is irresistible they will chase down anything that runs until they either catch it or run out of puff.
Great rabbit/hare/cat dogs

my cross not only uses her keen sight but she also uses her ears (in fact she picks up on sounds first).....always alerted to the minutest of sounds and she will go off stalking toward that sound once she sees her prey she will stalk in on it as close as she can always seems to put the animal between her and me so if it runs it runs to me i only have to call her name and she will stop the chase (she thinks shes big enough to take on a boar alone.....but really shes not she only tips the scales at 17kg so wouldnt want her to corner one and i wasnt there to dispense with it)
we have 2 cats ..... one she adores and treats like her pup the other she hates if the cats fight she will chase the cat she hates .....she will also stalk him from time to time .she catches mice and rats around here no problem
