I think its important to keep a line of good dogs between close friends and people you trust. after all who gives a F**k what other people are running once your own dogs are top notch. Hense the reaso

Never understood needing big fields, just coz the dogs are big!? All my dogs have lamped rabbits, even in junk yards! I like a bigger dog, and mine have caught rabbits everywhere, and my two best dogs

Guaranteed if he brought a stag over a fair few people on this forum would want his phone number. whether they admit it or not now.

i have to disagree saw some of smaller stag crosses 26 27 my freind has they would be decent over here but no better than some of the better working dogs ive saw ,some are like strong greyhounds but can run 2 and 3 plus minites on a strong jackrabbit ,over the last ten years of hunting i see dogs over there that would be more useful than some here ,but its along haul to ge one over ,one thing i do like with my freind dutch salmons dogs they have good feet speed , a bit aggresion , and typey they beet salukis hands down , for coursing over there , they beat galgos they are very good dogs, the bitches come in at 26 plus ideal size for some areas ,a dog would be good on the heather and hills were afew freinds keeper ,there smooth coated and broken,thdre hardier than some saluk crosses ive saw, more bone and attitude and better built than some deerhoundy types , good wind his best one ive saw, course a jack rabbit for four minutes phoebe was her name then ten minutes later they piled into a coyote, there a place at my fire for one of that type the big ones well to big for to be useful over here but the lighter gyps well good dogs for sure ,staghounds com ein all sorts of sizes ranging from 26 to 30 but what i did notice they had balance wind and feet , like a good running dog should have long backed etc ,ideal nite time dog for me and some mates ,and others ,there are god dogs here ,but it takes years to get then usaly ,ive always found some of the saluk bitches here throw small for me , and the collie type sometimes small for me , the deerhound bitches throw taller but were do you get one to compete with a good saluki type

mate new to this site and gained alot of info off just one post. hope most are like this.

Whin not saying everything you say is crap far from it!When i can decipher what you're trying to say you do talk some sense....what i find annoying is the way you talk a breed up in one breath then shoot it down in the next :wallbash:

Your a well travelled man and you've been about a long time you should've seen a few good dogs(and owned some no doubt)As to what depth i hunt probably to much to put on an open forum :thumbs:
