coursing dogs?

[Good Man 196]

well was talking to a few lads that have saluki x coursing dogs.

they said they dont get injured as much as a whippet x hound and other lurchers.

to the lads that have these coursing dogs does yours get injured much?

their feet are good.

my whipet x hound x saluki hardly ever gets injured.

when i had a whippet x hound she was allways getting her feet hurted.

Depends where you run them, on flinty ground you are going to have a problem...etc...etc

Running dogs get running injuries, owner of 3 working whippets.that do the job

[lamping-lad 160]

Most dogs get injurys dont mater what cross or what there worked on.

My dog’s greyhound bull x greyhound collie his pads are fine but he just does not know when to give up the chase. He’s laid up at the moment with a nasty cut behind his back hind leg just under the knee after coursing a rabbit into some bramble. at first with the location thought he might have caught it in a snare as it goes straight across but there is no marks on the front. He’s hurt himself a couple of times and I feel guilty as uck. At the end of the day they love doing a job and running at high speeds day or night they have a chance of getting injured. Just be careful where you course as iv seen some lads coursing on ground full of old wire, bricks, broken bottles etc

had ssaluki coursing type for years and hardly had afoot injurie same with the collie type i have ,whippet greyhound was finished after 3 seasons ,for rock solid feet the [bANNED TEXT] type of saluki cross and greyhound collie type , would only have an eighth whippet as they dont bring that much to the table in there pure state but they do make a lighter built and sharper anumal ,but skin and feet suffer ,if to much whipp, bull blood only a tad to ,the [bANNED TEXT] deerhoundy blood can have good feet but difficult to get the type to last with good saluks type and collie type when i see or breed apup like to see its nails well of the ground and strong you no your in for a shout then

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you talk a lot of sense pal.

[whin 463]

it makes sense if you run good land plus rough land you need feet bone or vets bills and time off which is no good if its on youre doorstep ,imagine having a kennel full of injuries, some nites i run good land others stony pebbly dry and unforgiving so soup plates for me not small flat or anything else been tried if you get sou westerlys for days it drys the land up so dogs have to have pirrelis , ive saw some feet on here last me a week

Had a few friends with saluki bred stuff, good for the fens, but limited up here in smaller paddock fields, stony ground and rough terrains..they always seemed to be the ones that for one reason or another got injured, bad feet, tear easily..seen some good ones chasing hares obviously, but injury prone dog not for me..

[Good Man 196]

thanks. i run small fields. a up and at them type is needed but a touch of saluki i find gives them staying power.

too much and they feck of and hunt for them selfs after loosing the hare.

[salukixgrey 779]

i run my saluki cross in small fields and big and she always puts on a show shes nearly 28 tts and feet aint really a problem but the only thing i would change is thicker skin cause she hits cover so hard shes had a few tears. but i wouldnt change her for the world it aint her fault just keen.

To be honest mate the hunting up issue is down to the training and entering of a dog rather than down to the breeding of dog.If you get the basics right and dont try to run before you can walk then there shouldnt be an issue with hunting up whatever cross you decide to go with.

100% Recal should be the first skill mastered with any pup and if you acheive this the rest is easy (or at least EASYER)

IMHO

we shall see next year B.

me and my brother run my line of saluki lurchers on big aribale feilds with a bit of chalk and flint in places but certainlie not fen and they rarlie get badlie cut due to they run lighter (on the top so speak) than faster types.

 

my mates little whi x col x whea x whi bitch lasted 10 mins on bolted rabbits last weekand was cut to ribbons. while my brothers bitch run all day on same ground taking all bar one she ran.

 

Ill be running one of your old line, a double doxhope 1st x bitch next season on the same ground. to be fair shes got the best looking ball shaped feet iv seen for a 5 month pup in ages. so fingers crossed.
