pegstaff 9 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I have heard a lot of people talking about their old dogs and say she was just a bit to small for hare. Has anyone on here had a dog under 23 tts that caught hare pre ban? was it just a one off or did the dog catch them often? Edited August 4, 2010 by pegstaff Quote Link to post

runforyourlife 361 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I owned a dog (preban) that was just short of 23", matched any dog on its catch rate, and averaged about 50 a season! Plus it was a fully allround dog... Quote Link to post

Mike. youd win a good few matches if shed killet 2 out of 3 every time! theres been some good little dogs i think the stanlys bitches were small and i herd real good. but a good big urn beats a good smallern by rights. which is real handy as all mine made under 25 Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 The mother to my old bitch at 22tts was a noted hare killing bitch she was out of the small caithness whippet type lurchers put to a good lamp dog of pedigree unknown.[bANNED TEXT] travelars stole her in the early 90s they ran her were she killed 2 out of 3 hares and they couldent keep their mouths shut wich led us to finding were she was and getting her back.

Fat-Ferret 857 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 My own dingo was partial to a Hare or two in her younger days...But this was before she lived with me, So although I know it to be true I havent had the pleasure of witnessing such a catch unfortunately... Quote Link to post

adamb20 22 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Well what if I'm out lamping and I want a hare to make a pie etc why shouldn't I let my dog catch one for me, or should I buy a one that's been shot. What do you mean buy knock them off their course.? Quote Link to post

What do you mean buy knock them off their course.? i agree mate , i do only lamp work my dog 21tts had 21 this season on the lamp and on a few sunnday morning walks this season he managed 5 off same land , i seen all sorts of crosses struggle with night time hare , some night time runs on a fit hare isnt as easy as it sounds mate if people only hunt night time they should be able to run what they like alot of the so called "hare" dogs would struggle night time with the smaller lurchers on rabbits day time running isnt the end all and be all of this sport. 1 Quote Link to post
