night moocher 41 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I was diiging through my old pics and found these thought I would stick them up, hope you like them. My old deerhoundxgrey and a stagxpit about to take down a yote Same two dogs plus a coldblood grey taking a yote The strike! The end of another coyote Not a coyote hunting pic just a collie/greyxsaluki I had in the mid nineties. Bought him for ten punt in Ballymun he grew into a cracking hare dog. sadly killed at 2 1/2 by a train while chasing a fox. Really miss that dog would love another like him, beautiful dog to watch running and took hare, fox and deer with ease. all the best Dirtwinger That last dog is stunning pal very similar to my own bitch saluki /grey /collie /grey / all the best steve.

I like the look of your dog too, I like the merles that have black as the dominant colour I think they are the most striking looking of the merles. Granted it dont make them run any faster but nothing wrong with having a good looking dog. Although walking him could be a pain in the arse sometimes, with transit vans pulling alongside and money being offered through the window for him. I dont have that issue here in the US thank god. all the best Dirtwinger Quote Link to post

If I lived in the south of the state I would see him more often I'm sure. Perhaps we can meet up after Christmas and do some daytime coursing without having to worry about PC Plod All the best Terence Quote Link to post

There were several merles in the litter and a mix of rough and smooth coated dogs my brother took a merle bitch and I went back the next day and bought the dog. its not a bad life over here lots of land and lots of hares. A bit too hot for my taste in the summer and the beer is crap but I'm hanging in there. I will be over in Ireland for Christmas this year as it happens if I have a couple of days free from family I will try and get out and see some sport. all the best Dirtwnger Quote Link to post
