Quick Question...

[FUJI 17,327]

Right lads,something I notice quite alot on here especially with the coursing type dogs is that often on the pics of them they are on a lead? Even when in the field? Any reason for this? Will they run off lol or do you only let them off the leash when they are running? I know lads who live near me with coursing dogs and they always have them on the leads even out in the countryside? I couldn't be bolloxed walking 4 or 5 mutts without letting them off the leash I can't see any enjoyment in it? I'm just curious that's all lol...ATB Andy

Same, I sometimes walk my dogs at a bit, let them off, whilst they all like a mooch the old bitch will disappear, and I won't see much of her again apart from the odd glimpse, till the end of that particular walk, approx a mile and a half away, more often than not with a wee something!!

[FUJI 17,327]

Yeah that makes sense BIGLURKS but those are Greyhounds worth big money,saying that they are maybe trying to keep them injury free for a future at stud at a grand a pop I don't blame them lol

Iam not the biggest expert on coursing dogs Fuji but what's the price on some of the big named coursing dogs I've only heard story's of what some folk have paid but it was in the thousands for a dog
