lewis_sufc 20 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Talking Pre-Ban what dogs did any of you find best to catch daytime hares in small fields with cover and hedges? Heard talk of Whippets doing the job but then others disagree (which im sure i'll find out on this post) .. Never seen a Whippet course a hare so i dont know myself, seen the odd Whippet Greyhound do the job tho... So any info on dogs you may have had or seen will be good to hear of, Cheers Quote Link to post
DazAllison 32 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Had 3/4 grey 1/4 collie that accounted for a good few on small fields Quote Link to post
SMART DOG 340 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 A good dog would of caught them on any land 1 Quote Link to post
lewis_sufc 20 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 have to disagree on that one smart dog as i think there are dogs that run the fens 3-3 4-4 and when it came to running them on small fields where the dogs need to be up and at em quick they struggle like mad as they dont have the time to wear them down like they do on fen land... But thanks for the comments lads keep them coming 2 Quote Link to post
IN SLIPS 134 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 have seen plenty of good dogs take them on all land, but have also seen plenty of lads turn up with fen dogs what are meant to take them on all land for them to struggle to put a couple of bends in! 1 Quote Link to post
