kranky 507 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 You never said that, read back........you said you'd only seen ex racers work. You'd have said that you'd worked ex racers and had seen dogs at coursing events. I bet the owners of some of those Waterloo Cup dogs that you're describing as "pish" would like to see the wonder dogs that you work. At 11 years old you were able to tell a good dog from a bad 'un. You're a feckin child prodigy!! Are you on medication? I don't run the Fens, I'm not a hare man. As for my "wee" friend, he's better known than me on here and he's run out with a few fellas on here. Tripe is what your spouting, have another guess, I'll give you a clue.......I'm not Rumplestiltsken and you don't know me. Quote Link to post

baw 4,360 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Kranky, we were taking about dogs we seen running in the field. I don't count going to coursing meetings like the Waterloo cup as seeing greyhounds work in the field, do you? I wouldn't class those greyhounds as pish but come on, it's as far away from real coursing as your going to get. Again I can't believe we are comparing the both, begs belief that you think that staged event is what happens in the field. Ok, if your not who I think you are then I appolagise. We are going round in circles here. If it makes you feel better from this thread I've learned that pup raised greyhounds can be good in the field. I still wouldn't have one but hey ho that's me.

brookie 1,193 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why do people ride motorbikes,when a car is warmer safer drier,Because they want to. If you like to see a fast dog work then you ain't going to getter faster than a greyhound,Like any fast dog your trading speed for other qualities. Why has one got to be better than another it depends what you want.... I don't think one is better than the other, I see the different qualities in other types of Lurcher too. I may never want to own one but it doesn't mean I can't admire the qualities that make them excel. I run a Lurcher/longdog myself at the moment and for what I want he's better than a pure grey. I don't like people slagging off an entire breed and spreading nonsense about the working ability of that breed when they have no experience or knowledge of the breed in question. And I don't like smart arses calling me a liar like you did in your opening post. Loads on here have seen greyhounds run into fences, in your small minded world we've not seen it happen but heard it down the pub. That's what gets my hackles up. As for us not being able to comment on the subject, we were answering the original question as best we could through our experiences. We didn't know at the time we weren't allowed cos we had an expert on the site. Maybe next time you could let us know earlier in the thread that your going to bore us with your monologue of wisdom. As for me showing my lack of ability to train a dog to jump, I was 11 at the time and it wasn't my f*****g dog!!! Can't remember the other bile you spewed, I'm on an iPhone so it's not so easy to see posts. But predictably I noticed you threw me a challenge. Always the sign when someone has lost the argument. At present I can't take your challenge so you can take the moral high ground there. But trust me, in all the years I've been on here I've accepted countless challenges thrown at me and trust me, they have been in double figures. Now, I love fast type dogs, where I run they are the bees knees. I don't like plodders but appreciate they have a purpose and are good at what they do. I'm a hare man first and foremost. In my view a hare would love a greyhound chasing it rather than a lurcher. I've been to altcar etc, great days out. I've never seen them do anything better than a lurcher could do apart from bend like the titanic. Hares love dogs that over shoot. A perfect lurcher is one that has good pace to get on the hare fast, has gears when needed to force the hare away from fences etc, can stay behind the hare forcing it to make mistakes and enough in the tank to up a gear when the moments right to strike. It takes brains to make a good hare catcher as well as speed, stamina. Out of those 3 traits the greyhound possesses 1, speed. A hare will only run as fast as its getting chased so the raw speed of the greyhound is overkill. Watching a dog take 20 yard bends, run past the hare, etc etc isn't what's needed. If you could add brains, get the dog to harness that speed and use it when it needs to, then you have the perfect killing machine, I.e the lurcher. good post baw 1 Quote Link to post
