Good Man 196 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Never coursed the fens my self, don't know much about it. Just wondering, how many seasons, does a fen dog/bitch last, coursing every week? Do they eventually jack, or, does the handler, know when its time for them to retire? From reading about fen coursing dogs on here, it sounds like its very hard on the dogs, in the winter months, when hares are at at their best? Not many id say, would keep this up, well, from reading about it and seeing it on dvd's ect. Cheers all and keep it friendly, just a bit of chat to pass the summer months. Quote Link to post
