snoopdog 1,256 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 iam not saying the red hare is a easy quarry to course but the facts are this the brown hare is bigger and stronger the are faster the brown hare can run up to 70kmh the red hare 60kmh that is a fact the only thing bigger on a red hare / blue hare and they are the same animal is they have bigger feet ,... so on boggy land or snow they will be faster .....

BRAN 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Snoop, have you evidence of what hare is the fastest? I find that hard to believe. Coursed them both, Irish hare is a better hare in my opinion, spoke about it before, an Irish hare has a million places to escape and most know what a dog is. By the way not diminishing the strength of the brown hare, raced hares on lincoln, and altcar that a barrat light fifty couldn't stop! Quote Link to post
