markha 99 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have seen some run very fast, but never faster than the speed of a 12g load Ok seriously I havent got a clue, but they seem to be a bit faster than 112mph? edit: why? did you get overtaken in one while you were blatting about in your lowered saxo? edit: sorry if you really have got a citroen saxo mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my hounds 308 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 out of interest why are you asking? Only because my lurcher has chased/struck out at 1-2 wild ones,and either the pheasant is cracking on before it takes off,or my dog is not trying.(3/4greyhound 1/4deerhound 29tts) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 615 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've seen some real fat labs off the gun peg struggling to catch runners before but most fit, healthy dogs should be able to catch one. Spanials and Labs are regularly used to pick runners so a lurcher shouldn't struggle in the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
