[compostman 115]

just a bit of fun lads whut kind would you like to see run.a dog that will stay all day or a fast one that will try and get the job dune fast.before the ban.and if you got any pics of your dog and how it runs put them up.

I'm with you ,but I prefer a dog that runs,"within itself".I have a "goal keeper", now retired ,but I found it fascinating to watch him push his quarry away from hedges ect.

I do think its a bit of a fallacy that all predominantly saluki blooded dogs are plodders, most are quick enough ,when they need to be,ideally you want a dog with a few gears.Ive never had a top dog,but I have seen enough to appreciate them and both running styles the "up and at em quick striker", and the" settle in behind opportunist" "the boxer" ,who bides its time,never going for it till it has lined up its prey.

Some call it watching paint dry,to me it is as good as sex.

fast dogs for fields plodders for fen.if you get on a good hare you will need the stayer.

don't think speed is too important, what is more relevant is determination,gameness, the prey drive etc. some dogs will chase for the fun of it without having the good mouth needed to catch at all. just my oppinion!

[samstorm 34]

would something thats a bit of both not be a decent option?? quik to get at it sticks with it then takes it?

hello i like to watch them run no matter how long or short it is.

[arcticgun 4,548]

different dogs and different running styles thats what makes coursing so exciting to watch the arguements about whats best roll on enjoy........

good fast dog that goes up and down the gears when needed, able to steady up at the right time and put on the gas for the strike.

i like them fast up and at them with a good mouth were they can throw a couple of yards and they got to have that extra gear but i love to see those good old get up on it sit back and course check then have ago type wouldent own one my self though havent got that type of land around here they just wouldent get the work atb

Trisha there aren't many hares down here anyway but before the ban most of the best hare catchers have been saluki bred and that goes for lamping rabbits to. A good saluki cross only runs as fast as it needs to like a hare, if the fields are small its going to put the speed on when needed if its any good.

At last a bit of sense, I expect my dog to catch in small and big fields, they are not stupid and as Mush said they'll put the speed in if needed.
