feed the bear 13 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Now i don't want to stir up the ashes but i really do wonder what people think a "fen dog" is. From the dogs i have seen that can kill hares on the Fens regularlly these dogs are often fast enough to kill them anywhere. Believe me, the Fenland hares have been heavily coursed for over four decades and this is why, IMO, they are a superior athelete to many other hares. Some i have seen have been fliers. It's "natural selection" by running dog, only the very strongest survive. This is why the top lads , who have run everywhere, say that the bigger the land the better the hare. The saluki hybrid has some of the best feet you can get, IMO the higher % of saluki in the melting pot, the better its feet are. Not too long ago i watched a bitch course a hare down the full length of a gravel road. Road with stones and debris littering its length. After a good number of turns and wrenches on and off the road the hare was finally taken and i ran over to inspect the dogs feet. In my head i have visions of toe-carnage. But apart from a slight graze there was nothing. The dog went on to have further runs too that day. Now i do appreciate this thread is refering to scotland, but this was just an example of the toughness of a good saluki hybrids feet. I am also of the opinion that once a coursing dog gains experience and starts to run with its brain and only run as fast as it needsto, then it will do as good as the next dog on any terrain. I honestly think some need to get out a bit more, turn the PC off for a weekend and go and broaden their knowledge about certain types of running dogs. Theory and practice are two totally different animals. Just a few thoughts of mine. Good Hunting.JD the scottish lads are referring to triple wire fences,stone dyke walls ,thick high hedges and hares that are very well educated , due to the fact that us scotsmen do infact GET out there in the feild OFTEN. I have seen quite a few saluki drenched dogs not make the grade in this enviroment.no offence meant but as for turning off the pc mines was off and my dog WAS OUT TONIGHT ,WAS YOURS just an opinion of mine.atb Benny My post was not aimed at you Bendrover. And just for the record i was out until 11.30 pm walking the fields. My little faithful friend at my side.... So by that reckoning, your post must be aimed at someone, can I ask you who exactly?

Guest LancsUK Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Totally agree with ya 'RunForYourLife' .. A bedlington/whippet int gunna catch hare on the fens, nor is a saluki/grey gunna catch bunnies on the rocks? Dogs are specifically bred to run different terrain so I dont think a saluki/grey would run well on the moors round here (Lancs) as i've seen them round here on bunnies and they took the piss out of the dog lol..
