I dearly hope they will have a case...in the European Constitution there is a clausule that states (more or less) "animals have to be treated with respect AND member states have the freedom to deal with animals according to their cultural or historical traditions"...would protect bullfighting, cockfighting (still legal in 2 places) and various forms of hunting. Only...I am not sure whether the UK is involved enough in European affairs to have to hold itself for judgement of the European Central Court...and France and the Netherlands voted NO on the European Constitution referenda so the a

yep. In small letters at the bottom of the pic it says : Race Poitevine Poitevine is prolly a county or provence... Your pics make me feel sorry as well for all those in the UK and for myself for that matter...Imagine living in a warm mediterranean place and loading your small pack in the trailer and just go out and hunt. Oh man. L

PERFECT Reload...you've been one smiling man there I think...I forgot that the fair was on, had to work anyway... "saluki types" are Poitevin I think...local hound that like the rest uses scent and is very vocal, used for hare etc. As unsuitable for coursing as a foxhound. L

For those interested: link to older discussion on the ethics of coursing coyote. http://groups.google.nl/group/rec.hunting/...023c701b3ec94ea L

Ruby, thought that as well...I moved a couple of weeks ago to my new place here that has a different vegetation (wet/grassy) than where we used to live (dry/pine/blackberry) but she has lived here before and I never noticed her eyes being red back then... Hay fever? as the heath of my bitch is often in late spring it might be more than a coincedence? L
-
Maybe it is an infection/virus or just my imagination but when my bitch is in heath her eyes seem to be more bloodshot then when she is not. Anyone seen the same? L

Nice, fast and well-made

What is the breeding? Is it a kind of "seguso" (?) or a mix? L
-
They are good bedwarmers
-
errr can you just knit the collars? Or is there a special NCC grandma somewhere who knits and gives out the approved ones? L
-
well I sure hope it has an analogy to the current situation...use of hounds was legal, it became illegal and then legal again...? L

" P.S. Lennard if you see your cultural anthropologist again you should tell her about the culture thats under threat right here at home. White people have culture too" Yeah I know...and you know what, the UNESCO is going to put falconery on the world cultural heritage list! Good for them, but what about coursing and 5000 or so years of dog genetics?! :realmad: The f*cking government just has the monopoly on "animal cruelty" aye...mass cruelty is legal as long as it is profitable aye?!...but this was a thread on sloughis and about good news.

Thanks Chris :whistle: L

Dear all, I've come across the "poaching wars" in the UK in literature...they were supposed to be in 1600 or so and involved big public uproar when people weren't allowed to hunt and hence poached? So whats up with that? Anyone know the inns and outs? Any likening to the current Ban? L

using scent hounds to bring a hare for the guns is legal and pretty popular in Sweden...

Last saturday I was boozing in a bar taking the dog along. I met a cultural antropologist who did a lot of research in Ethiopia, Erithrea and Sudan recently and she said that the saluki types ("non feathered greyhounds") are still popular and much used for hunting by the arab tribes that migrated into these regions (and who cause trouble/war with the "normal black population"). I might be able to persuade her to get me some pictures and maybe she'll allow that I put one or more on the forum...can't promise though... L

Its only legal in Spain, Portugal and the Ukraine (Europe?!) as far as I know. For Spain you best contact the Club Nacional Galgo espagnol: www.galgoes.com For the Ukraine contact the guys behind: www.rpb.narod.ru/ If you want to do it in Holland (not legal but defo possible) or need help with spanish email pm me...

Oh yeah...flat open fields with little or no barbed wire and lots of hares because we have little legal hunting and almost no illegal coursing here...people just don't do it. Pure saluki...I've seen some nice salukis in the UK that do catch and come back pretty good as well (compared to my ibizan all salukis I've seen come back quickly)...I like some of the chubasco line a lot, nice sleek "ratty" bitches in black and tan. Hybrids...it works well for tomatoes and honeybees...working parents is a must with bees and tomatoes as well... Before any young dog enters my home I have to sor

Thanks Bolio!

Hi all, when I wrote this topic I was just wondering how to compare the breeds and as the coursing rules are the same for deerhounds/greys/salukis I just wondered which breed would catch the most and if someone would have records. Reason is that within now and say 2 years I am looking for a hare dog as an addition to my rabbit bitch which isn't getting any younger...either pure whippet, whippet-grey, pure saluki or a saluki hybrid...no collie blood no terrier. basically I want something of medium size with good feet and stamina that is a pleasant house dog and catches me a hare when p

....which breed used to make the most catches when coursing under rules? ? L
