Ricky Pettit 21 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a 17.5tts collie whippet tht only just started out takin 3 out of about 10 slips over last 2 weeks she hasn't gt much stamina but manages to put so many turns in can keep it in one field if it gets out she give up but she only a pup yet, where as my friends full saluki disapears 6 fields away comes back [BANNED TEXT] nearlly every time but we dnt see any of it, I know which I prefer! I'm nt saying she gonna be a basher but her acceleration is astonishing an she can turn on a pinhead seems to put the wind up um some 1 Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I know a chap who had several bitchies that caught hares for fun, these were only around 22ins. one bitch the fiddler, was bred of a bitch called kyte, who was 22ins, had 4 sisters who each killed hares reguler in january when hares were at there bast, He recon a bigger dog took to long to catch hares because they couldnt run with there chins on the deck.

skycat 6,173 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 .......and also because they were bloody fast dogs. A small slower dog wouldn't stand a chance. Those little bitches literally drilled hares into the ground and forced them to make mistakes with the dog tight up their arse all the time. I loved watching them run: very impressive.

shaaark 10,709 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've had 3 very good hare killers under 23tts, mostly whip/grey with a tiny dash of collie, 1 dog and 2 bitches, and as skycat says, they were all very fast, and caught the majority of their hares within about 20-30 secs. Hunted up during day, and lamped though. No saluki in any of my dogs ever, just don't like em. Anyone else have smaller types without saluki in that were good on hares, hunted up or fair law?
