cheers mate. The littlun always has a few bunnies. The saluki x never seemed to miss anything from his first night out and the collie x has been real hard work to bring on. Took a whole season to start thinking about what he was doing. He'd overshoot by 50 yards every single time was so frustrating

Anyone else got any pics of Lamper x courser??
-
any pics mate?

Thought my dog had good feet. They're proper tight, compact and nice hard pads. But he recently cut his pad running on perfectly soft grass. A month before that he put a hole in between his toes right up in the gap..... hopefully both just unlucky and hit something sharp....

'delboyp on here has saluki grey x collie greys he swears by them, not seen them myself but I can imagine a goodun being a dream to work. Collie should take away some of that saluki ignorance. Obviously gonna add brains aswell but I think dogs bred for coursing from generations of best to best are more than clever enough....

really like that.. how tall and how was the lamping parent bred?
-
Not just rabbits on the lamp but Nah never had a squirrel but to be honest he's never had anything in the daytime, I walk them local and there's literally Feck all to go at. I do loads of travelling for lamping. Before I got my other dogs I used to mission up the A2 to meet an old fella in his local woods with his pack of whippets. My little dog used to push plenty of bolters out of the brambles and blackthorn but they never caught one, came pretty close a few times but I could tell from his reactions and the amateurish way his dogs chased the rabbits that they'd never really seen much. I wa

That's a nice PIC of her con. She's the only other dog I've been out with half coursing half lamping bred and I honestly don't think I could fault her..... ... apart from her pulling like a train and screaming her bollox off when it ain't her run...

Cracker mate.
-
Yea a good strike, he defo has that.
-
Watch the dog some will catch up with a rabbit and go for the strike straight away others will faingt one way, then when the rabbit turns the dog is there to catch it. It is nothing you can teach the dog has to learn it for it's self, the same as standing off hedges, I had a whippet once that would always get between the rabbit and the hedge, not many escaped. TC yea he very rarely runs straight behind, runs very boxy but not too much if you know what I mean

As I've just posted on another topic, the pup I've brought on this season is turning out to be a real natural. Unless I was misinformed when I bought him, the sire was a serious all round lamping dog, 3/8 5/8 deer grey and impressive in every way. The dam was a typical coursing bred saluki x regularly knocking them over on the fens. Just interested to hear about any other dogs that were bred this way and how they turned out. Proven lamping dog to proven coursing dog. Any pics appreciated. Cheers, Ryan

Tiercel and fox dropper I think the same, its just hard to judge when its just the one dog vs a rabbit
-
depends what on but generally doubled up he wont put much effort in but will pretty much always be the dogs that picks uhow do you mean? Dont think its dominence i think hes just being clever or lazy and letting theother dog donthe hard work and take it on the turnp.is that a dominence thing you think ?
-
cheers mate you too
-
cheers bird, don't get me wrong he doesn't catch everything, but not much gets away
-
But idont think that counts for much cos doubled up my little chorkie x will steal almost everything even when running with a dog twice as good as him. In fact my pup is the only dog he doesn't seem able to chor kills off
