theres plenty of small fields over here mate and im sure there was dogs catching hares in them pre ban. or do you mean well known coursing dogs from the fens going over and trying ?.

why do you think to much saluki makes them slow ??...theres lads who have line bred saluki lurchers ..with a very high percentage of saluki in them that run small hilly rough reedy land ..and do well on that sort of terrain...a good dog will adapt to the type of land it runs on ...if its run on it enough times to learn ..on the sort of land your talking about a course will very rarely exceed 2 minutes so a good dog will keep the pressure on and stick tight to its hare knowing it may be lost if it gives it that extra yard....on the other hand the same dog can be running a hare on big land and run it completly different knowing it could be in for the long haul ...basicly what iam saying is dogs with a high percentage of saluki in them cant be slow because they are the best hare killers and the hare is the fastast british mammal...or so iam lead to believe.....and to answer your question i have never run hares in ireland but ive run them on the rough small tricky land and very very large land.....with the same dog .....pre ban of course,,,

I think he means this type of land below in the clip, its in ireland, this is a saluki bred lurcher.

that land could half a mile of me blue one ...its no different ,,like i say a dog will adapt if given the right chances ....and it killed it under 2 mintues .. if that was near me that would be one of the longer coursers.. when i mooch local ..some do exceed 2 mins but rarely....good little run....

i would think lots of coursing dogs will do well on that landscape

have you run here hares in ireland? its not easy.

mind you, seen a first x saluki hound take a good few hares.

id say, what your saying makes sence. reckon if a fen pup was brought up here it would learn if it did not give up first!

blue one thats a good clip similar to land i run my dogs on.

like i said in my post above ..no i have never run hares in ireland and i certainly dont think their easy.. . what i am saying is theres plenty of line bred saluki lurchers with at least 3/4 sal in them that will do the job on any size land ....saluki,s have very good speed and a good one will know when to use it and when not to ...there qite a few lads run fen bred dogs in ireland with good results.....pre ban ....ask boloi 1 about the difference between irish and english hares ...hes run a few on both sides of the water pre ban ..

More to the point ,why do you think hares are harder to run in Ireland ??

 

Have you never been to Scotland,?? or many other places in the UK with small rough fields !!??

 

I`ve heard this before, and don`t get it,!! plenty hard places over here like

ran dogs both side of the pond any body says the uk hare is not as strong as the irish hare has never coursed over there,or are just plain stupid

[Good Man 196]

fair comment gents. i corsed the montain hare in scotland couple of years back by invite.

found them easy, compared to our hare here in ireland.

if i got a good coursing bred pup over their in the uk, or if someone had one here, with a lot of saluki in them would it catch hares here if brought up here?
