Generally fewer coursing pups bred so more expensive, they are normally bred from top end bitches and the few top sires are expensive , there is a large amount of trackers bred from lesser quality bitches and a lot of track studs are available free or very cheap until they are proven, the price of coursers normally comes down as soon as the season finishes and you can then pick them up for a few hundred euro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
