When Buying a coursing Pup

[Guest bigdaddylongchopper]

the pure deerhound was not bred to course he was bred to track hold and bay at wounded red stags

i picked my pup out of my litter based on the length of his tail, and every other dog ive owned ive done the same thing, i usually narrow the litter down to 2 or 3 i like the best, then stand them up straight and see were there tails drop to, or tuck it under the leg and round to the spine, i like a longdogs tail when fully grown to pass its spine, i know pups tails dont usually do this but you get an idea of which pup has the longer tail, and graham ofcourse you will have variation, after all theyre a lurcher and there will be throwbacks

Walk like a cat tail like a rat neck like a drake strike like a snake :-) some would say a dog with a good tail helps like a ruder if you watch them run they do you them :-)

make sure all the basics are right good feet eyes teeth etc just healthy in genral then just pick which one catches your eye, its all down to luck good dogs come in all shapes and sizes one of the main things a good coursing dog needs is a big heart and thats something you carnt see at 8 week old

When looking for a pup the first thing to look at is the parents,if they don,t have all the physical attributes that you desire in a dog,then its a waste to look at the pups.Only when you are happy with the parentage and breeding should you wish to start going over the pups,pups grow at different rates,so the biggest at 8 weeks may be the smallest st a year,the same with other aspects of their physical make up,i look for a bright,bold and alert pup that is responsive and bouncy,at the end of the day the best pointer in taking on a pup is the person selling them,if they seem genuine,keep the dogs in good order,are willing to answer all your questions,don,t mind you taking your time,are happy to let you go away and consider at length and don,t put you under pressure to buy,then you are in with a chance,the rest is up to you.

some people dont have the first clue... slating me for saying i like a dog to have a good tail.

a whippets got a shorter tail than a greyhound but it can turn better than a greyhound, so i don't believe the theory, most of the whippets I've had or seen could turn on a sixpence, most of the greyhounds couldn't turn as well as a whippet

good breeding helps you pay a lot more for the pup. but you own lee get [bANNED TEXT] you pay full
