is it not about the chase/course that is memerable, not the catching, same as fishing the stalk, the bite, it's on, then for me it's all over. might as well put it back to catch another day

no two dogs the same even out of the same litter you could talk about this all day and night basicly choose what you fancy and get on with it lots of dogs on here look nowt but catch plenty i would never put a dog down without seeing it perform it's not what they look like once had a picture post card saluki 25 years ago i was better off running after the game myself so looks not everything as for brains every dog has it's day some are more cleverer than others an old poacher once told me when iwas young beware of the man with one dog was good advice looking in hindsight
so keep this topic g
