The running style of the dogs, back in the day, seemed much more exciting than the dogs of today.
Round my neck of the woods you wouldn't of seen any kills as the dog would be in the next county, by the time it takes most hare dogs of today.
Most (NOT ALL) of the dogs on the net would struggle on small pend in fields.
But as most comps are held on the fens, it's all about wind nowadays.
But there's still quite a few dogs out there, doing there thing, without saluki blood in there make up.
Happy Hunting.
