BOLIO1 1,078 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I was hunting in the company of P.K. and others down there I always detected a reluctance to give credit to saluki blood. They always seemed to want to play up the fraction of a dogs breeding which wasn't saluki. Although I haven't seen P in 5 or 6 years I still regard him as a friend so I'll accept his version of the breeding but it hardly matters to me as I've never owned any Irish Lady dogs. However in my own head I always say If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck........... Quote Link to post

However in my own head I always say If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck........... get the tape up and it will settle it for once and for all and the dog did not stop on his next hare when the first race was over the dog was not on his feet so if thats jacking i would thake one of those dogs every time from the time he was sliped until he hit the ground 6mins40 seconds bolio B.T. from lurgan was the man with the stop watch did you hear the conversion i mentioned Quote Link to post
madhare hunter 23 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That I can't be sure of as I watched the tape more times than I witnessed the actual event so the tape is what I remember most. On the tape, the camera is on the dog the whole time and the hare is out of shot as I said for over a minute. It wouldn't surprise me if someone watching behind where the dog was coming from said that the hare was gone from view but I was on the lane watching through bins so was only getting a narrow view of the dog itself. do you think there was any saluki in lady why does every thread have to go back to ladys breeding,someone get the tape and get in on here so we can see a good 6 minute course as i have never seen 1 as good as that.

I didn't hear the conversation but as I said I saw it on the tape with the timer displayed so I know the actual length of the course wasn't being over stated. I also never knocked the dog......when the tank is empty the tank is empty. A lot of crabbers who never hunted big land will never know that their own dogs may well have run out of gas an awful lot sooner. Quote Link to post

BOLIO1 1,078 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's a very valid point Iceman, a lot of people don't realise how hard it is to have a dog in the right condition, going from here to the fens, if they're only used to running small fields....no matter how many hares you have to run at, they're only short runs. I would never knock a dog that runs it's tank dry. Next one to do it could be mine! 1 Quote Link to post

Most runs that l have seen are 2 3 mins but some go 4 5 never seen 6 min run myself and dont think l every will but a dog that run that long can have space out my back any time.
