    Our eyes stretch across a field that looks completely bare, But in amongst the furrows are a fair few hares! Too spot them is the task, harder than you would think As they lay down, ears flat no movement except a blink. a signal with your hand sends the dog over the ditch, Nose to the ground, off ranging for a witch The dog picks up pace and takes off on a line, And then from its form, Jill leaps up flying. With a kick of there legs and a spray of dirt, The lurcher pursues, forevever alert.

    coursing a rabbit and catching it is like sex, that feeling of exctasy before you ejaculate and then your done and you kinda just want to go to bed lol
  9. weasellurcher
    success is catching the rabbit otherwise the dog would carry on coursing with the thing in its mouth lol

    Sorry if this has already been cleared up, I stopped reading at the end of page 4. Casso, you seem to be clued up on how to raise working dogs and pretty much everything you have said has been sound advice. However I think you may have missed the point of this post and the others replys which is, I believe, Bennys inexperienced lurcher is failing to see rabbits when he is out lamping, He is slipping his dog when he thinks it has seen the rabbit but it hasnt and so just runs down the lamp and keeps on running. Which is the reason slipping the dog on a 50yrd rabbit would be bad because the dog

    I understand that but still not clear. Would that mean that some of the match dogs are collie x's? I know there not but what pedigree breeds are used in the makeup of the lurcher x lurcher hare dogs in ireland... nowadays?
  16. weasellurcher
    Probably a stupid question. I have only ever hunted my dogs on my own (no competitions and things) What actual dog breeds are in the coursing dogs that get talked about on here (max, bulldozer, e.t.c) obviously theres greyhound and saluki in most of what ive seen but anything else? terriers? ty

    lurcher x lurcher some collie in there, she was the only smooth coated dog in the litter. Fastest dog ive seen, would get up to a hare no matter how far away it was, if she spotted it, she catch up to it. Usually ended up losing it once she was there but real speed. She never lost a race i entered her in, admittedly only entered her in like 5 and they were game fairs and country shows not real racing but still, bloody fast!

    had similar the other day following the local hunt, had my beddy grey on the lead, she is a sissy and this woman had two huge rottweilers on leads, my pup is nervous around big dogs and so i said to the woman are they friendly, she said oh yes, more likely to lick you to death and some shit so nervously i brought my dog closer thinking that if she has a good experience with these huge things then that might sort out, tell you what no more than one step forward the dogs let out a bark and pulled the bloody woman over, then one of them was loose and, luckily the lurcher slipped her collar and so

    I've had a sire lined up for 4-5 years, (deer/grey x beardie/grey) Davey I suppose it would adjust the type but keep it 3/4 running dog and effectively still 1/4 collie then I was doing a bit daytime and thought about a saluki half cross but I'll probably stick to my original plan. Deer grey - beardie grey will do the job daytime mate, not a match dog but itl catch em

    this season Ive had 2 rabbits, and im chuffed! bedlington greyhound pup around 11 months old now. ive held her back, been out about three times and although there is one place with more rabbits than grass, it is the only place around me and so usually it is one run and the field of 200 rabbits is empty, weve been out three times and last night was the first time its all gone right, her first run was a long slip and she caught it, we then had two more slips, she was very close to the second one but it just got to cover and the third slip again was abit to long and she missed it, absolutely love

    been a bit busy of christmas but thought id do a few more posts, just reiterating that this is all well pre ban. Some days I would be forced to take the family's two little dachshunds for a walk as well as Twiggie and sometimes a sister of mine or my father would come. One day we were walking, my dad and sister with the dachshunds and me with Twiggie and we went down the side of a field, fairly open but along a hedge. We were just having a normal dog walk when out of the hedge crashed a big roe doe, she ran straight in front of us and headed of across the field, Twiggie pulled on the lead

    As Twiggie got older she started to course stylishly and I started to appreciate the beauty of it. A course I can remember was on a slightly rolling, large field with young wheat just coming up, I let her of the lead when we were far enough away from the road and Twiggie started to work the field. She ranged out into the field, drifting from one side to the other, her nose on the ground or in the wind until she cantered too close to a hare in its form and it sprang up and set off up the incline as is a hares way. She spotted it instantly and accelerated after it, as always she got behind it ve
