johnny boy68 11,726 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Some nice types whith vic on the natural born hare killer videosI don't think they were minshaw types, I think they were coursing types that minshaw got into in the late 90's. Quote Link to post

jukel123 7,957 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Fuji, do you reckon Minshaw dogs had more stamina because of their border collie blood or because they had collie blood plus something extra? Question for anybody : which breed has more stamina/wind-- border collie or saluki? 1 Quote Link to post

Question for anybody : which breed has more stamina/wind-- border collie or saluki? I think Tomo done the right thing breeding his coursing bred bitch with a Minshaw bred dog,best of both worlds ? ..as for which has more wind lol,they are two completely different types so thats unjust to ask such a question.. What i will say is how many Saluki's are out working 7 days a week? A Saluki is a running dog and a cur a working dog so maybe my answer is unjust too? But that's my tuppence worth for you lol 2 Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,186 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Personaly,..I don't care how a dog takes out his chosen quarry,...my main criteria is that he achieves his goal... Me too ,i have dogs capable of catching on the biggest of land,look impressive blah blah blah..but when i was out to make dollar i didn't give a hoot how the critters ended up in the back of the motor,no gold stars or brownie points if the dog ended the race in the middle of a winter wheat field,i don't hunt these days with the vigour i once did,back then it was all very SERIOUS as im sure some can concur to? I'd not change a thing about how & what i hunted,i loved the lamping game,it kept me & my family fed & housed..these days im just a moucher,no big expectations of my dogs,i will leave all that to the younger generation..just enjoy your hunting be it for the sport or to "survive" lol as i and others did..fence bouncers,squatters they all count haha... 7 Quote Link to post
