old school 482 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) dose any body use a pure breed greyhound for lamping?..if so are they any good?.. i have and yes they are an exciting thing to watch, mainly because they nearly all run in big huge blasts of speed and then miss on the turn... it takes alot of time for them to settle and i had one or 2 smash into fences and things only to cut their careers short... but if you obtained one as a pup and entered it like any lurcher i would say it would be just as good Edited November 25, 2009 by old school Quote Link to post

bullman 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 my mate runs a coursing greyhound its a exellent fox and deer dog. atb Quote Link to post
Guest fence_hopper Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 i got 2 they jump anything catch rabbits almost as good as a whippet, they'll tackle big stuff with blind curage theres no end to them. as good as any lurcher on the lamp and if you dont like it Quote Link to post
woodbine 11 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have always wondered about a pure greyhound myself.You wont get a faster dog and as for stamina,it's not everyone that wants to catch dozens of rabbits or 5 hares at a time.I think if properly entered to hunting, as already said, they would make a good hunting dog.I hope you go for it.I have 2 lurchers at present but would seriously consider a pure greyhound when I next need a new dog.Keep in touch with the site as I would very much like to know how you get on and I think there are others on this site who would also be very interested,All the Best,Woodbine.

owendbowendb 132 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Was considering one myself at one point. And was looking at unregistered pups and ex-racers. Went for a 3/4 grey 1/4 whippet in end. was more down to that I could have it as a pup from 7 weeks and it had been raised in the house with kids etc. could also get it used to the ferrets and type of land i hunt. Anyone got any working greyhound pics ? ATB Quote Link to post
SCOTTY1 3 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 IF YOU WANT TO WORK A GREYHOUND YOUR BEST BET IS ONE THATS SEEN LIVE GAME BEEN USED FOR COURSING ETC SO IT WILL BE A BIT MORE CLUED UP THAN AN EX TRACK DOG. THEY ARE BAD FOR SMASHING INTO FENCES ETC IF YOU DO GET AN EX RACER SPEND A BIT OF TIME GETTING IT TO JUMP IT WILL PAY OFF. B UT THE BEST THING TO GET IS A YOUNG SAPLING SO YOU CAN REAR IT THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD WITH A LURCHER THEN IT WILL HAVE A BIT MORE SENSE IN ITS HEAD. GOOD LUCK Quote Link to post
