imho the dvd's show nothing compared to watching a dog run in the flesh on land that size , it never seems slow in the flesh , people who say its slow and boring, plodding away etc really should try running after one

 

the amount of people i hear saying this dog and that dog can better them fen types etc and then going onto claim they know someone who had one that did just that really amazes me , nearly as much as the fact that not one of them has ever been recoreded doing so if it had happened then it would be out there for all to see

 

Likesay Im not saying one type of dog is superior to another, nor is one mans chosen sport or quarry either it's all their to be enjoyed the dog will shame some of the men at the end of the leads don't as much as they should always worring about what someones else is up to or what dog they have and how its doing

Well now i've learned a litle more about coursing on the fens! a coursing guy i know has told me last week that the dogs are being bred back to the faster shorter course rather than the long type of course now, is this true?

I think the long courses are a combination of both a good fit hare and also many saluki saturated dogs have a knack of not picking the hare up until they are ready , my own dog can be all over one but wont strike till hes ready , but thats what makes it great , for that time you are concentrating on your dog , anything else is forgot as you watch him , bills , work , stress , and that feeling as you walk off that field on a late Autumn afternoon with the dog blowing and hare in your hand is superb . !
