Hare dogs (Pre ban)


Recommended Posts

So Pre ban when we could go out and run hares

 

How big did pure hare dogs tend to be? is there an ideal height you would have gone for?

 

I'm not talking ones that took one here and there I meen dogs that when you slipped them week in week out you were coming back with good numbers!

 

What would be the smallest that you think a dog could be, And come back with good numbers?

if your talking lamp you want a strong dog that caN USE ITS GEARS STRIKE WELL AND GOOD OFF THE BOTTOM IF YOUR TALKING DAYTIME YOU WANT TOTAL OPPOSITE YOU WANT A FAST DOG THAT CAN STICK WELL AND STRIKE WELL AND CAN OUT AND OUT RUN Edited by minshaw man

There's been plenty good small ones,, I remember just a few week befor the ban came in being on a big day on the fen by invite, and Clive had a good little black dog about 22 inch,, that had 5 that day if I remember right...

 

But I have seen a good few others that weren't much bigger 23 inch mark

I AGREE 23 AND IF HAD A LOAD OF TACKLE NOS TO MASTER DAYTIME

also some pure whip ,,,not ALL,,,wouldnt live with a hare if hare decided enough is enough and took off,,,,some pure,s aint that fast,,,again not ALL ,,u get good and bad in every breed sort off speak

 

I've been out with pure whippets and have one myself so I have to dis agree, they do catch and catch well. Ok your not going to get a course like a saluki x but they stick tight and normally do them on the turn but it fast and over quick. If the hare does get a head 9 times out of 10 it get away, but talking about small fields with hedge not fens. I've never hunted fens so I don't know but for me a good whippet with good fitness will catch hares regular . I may be biased as well
