the ultimate quarry or not

[Guest lurchers&terriers]

what would you say is the ultimate test for a dog to catch in the day when there was no silly ban. i would say day time hares but others say day time roe. what's you opinions

I would say daytime hare, the roe my dogs ran pre ban were pretty much gauranteed to get caught once spotted, they tire easily and the dogs have an advantage when the deer try and run through a hedge or barbed wire.

A winter Hare, give him 50 yards start and he will test any dog, bearing in mind they dont really start to run untill the dog is up at them then when they stretch that ole back leg, that is the signal come and catch me IF you can, Had some great sport down through the years, up unto the BAN, and now it is only memories,

wolly what is that brindle pup is it whippet or something small or just a bad oicture she looks fine and what age is she or he

White tail deer or yalls red stag. There is no comparison in my opinion. Of course doubled up for sure on your stag and it wouldnt hurt on our white tail.

[Guest penny]

the hare is the best no doubt thats only my thoughts on it

[whin 463]
