An interesting topic !! now I've never been to Ireland so i can't comment on the coursing over there !! but I've coursed plenty on the fen's, In my opinion a "class" dog has to be the complete package !! i'e speed, stamina and a good mouth and a brain !!! I've seen plenty of dog's with enough of one or two of these quality's but lacking the other's, they will catch hare's but are not "class" !!. Now without trying to be "controversial" SIX minute's is a long time even on the fen's !! In my experience a 31/2 to perhaps 5 minute's is probably about "average" on the fen throughout a season, quite a lot of fen hares are piped or lost around farmyard's e.t.c before six minute's !!! don't get me wrong I've seen plenty of six or even seven minute courses over the year's but over the year's being the operative word !!! Again in my opinion a class dog should "rarely" have to run a hare for more than five minute's!! like Gorger, Adel told me Roscoe was never the same dog after that eleven minute run, and I'm not surprised !! although i admired the dog for having the "grit" to stay on after his hare he was never really pushing his hare. he more or less run it til it couldn't run anymore !!! but fair play to the dog. Myself i preferred the dog to do the business at the earliest opportunity whether that's one minute or even five, some hare's can't be caught in two or three minute's no matter how good the dog behind it !! but after five minute's even the best of hare's are feeling the pace !! especially if the dog is still working him hard !! so to sum it up you need speed, stamina, a good mouth and a coursing brain to have a top class dog there is not as many of these about as people seem to think especially in mid winter !!!!!!

now this is a good hare with a good bitch behind it .your whippet greyhound types dont kill these hares

aye I,ve watched the video and I must say I am impressed with the amount of stamina, however to say a grew type won,t kill these hares is a bold statement, how do you know a grew type wouldn,t have killed that hare and done it quicker, up and at them types can also run clever use the angles etc

trust me .they dont kill those hares .they are usually blown away and or the hare has beaten em into cover .only saluki hybrid type lurchershave that coursing brain and the physical attributes to get on top of a strong hare like this one and break it and ultimately kill it. if you had done any coursing you would fully understand the point im trying to make .whippet greys will kill the odd hares and kill em early season .but they dont kill good hares on open country like the one in the clip .yes we all know you need a fast dog for coursing but that fast dog needs to be able to run slow to kill those good hares .and any coursing man on here will know fully the point im trying to make

I still don,t agree bud, a good grew type can imo kill these hares like the one in the video, maybe a saluki type comes into its own when covering big land but that video ain,t big land, its twa fields, that dogs just prolonging things imo

good bitch brookie on big land but over in ireland she wouldnt turn a hare it took her to long to turn it.in ireland apart from some parts the land is very small so diffrent dogs needed and not a lot of 6 minute runs on less u got a helecoptor to follow them.

youve got to be one of the biggest idiots on here .theres not a day goes by without you spouting some heap of shite .what a plank

[Guest Aardvark]

i think a faster dog would of got in there an put a lot more pressure on the hare an made it make a mistake but then that bitch could probably do what she did time an time again...an i wouldnt call it a plodder looked a very smart bitch an had every thing under control

tina was killing field hares at ten months old .and trust me these hares know the drill they are run every day.buit they are no comparison to strong fen hares .the only people who call em plodders are the people who aint ever been there .or never done any coursing like ferret features he just sits on here every day looking to argue with every one about things he knows nothing about .
