baldockbanks courser 598 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The un educated saluki x haters who have never seen 1 run on big land will watch this and say... That's how it should be done, these "day walkers" ( most stupid term I ever herd ) with there plodders. Drop 1 yes 1 of them dogs on thorney square or Chatteris or somewhere similar, and will see how easy it is, sure they mite kill the first hare but if they don't kill on the first 2 turns, there in for a world of pain before there muscles tighten there lungs fail them, then it's time to come to a steady stop, as mrs hare skips off in the distance. The single handed saluki based x Lurcher of today is a world apart from the dogs used in that cavary charge believe me. 3 Quote Link to post

They have saluki/tazi types Galore over there too, they know what they are doing... the greyhound has a massive following with folk who like the quick race... loads of hares get away, because, like you pointed out, the dogs burn out pretty fast. They use a lot of UK racing/old coursing lines there. Its a social event, as well as a contest between dogs, and as far as Ive seen they eat every hare caught, nothing is chucked in the ditch! Believe me some of the arable the land they run makes the fens look like garden lawns. They do things there way, and I for one dont feel superior to them because I only run 1-out 1 Quote Link to post

BIGLURKS 874 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I find it very funny on forums how some folk will say how they think different countries should run there dogs but have a different opinion on what there aloud too run there dogs on and and have a opinion on when folk tell them what there supposed too do with there dogs 1 Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,324 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 you guys are awesome. you can all tell if a dog is good or not from a vid that lasted a few seconds. ive been at it for fecking years and couldnt see anything that dog did wrong. and to be honest ve yet to see a crossbred that could match a straight grew for speed and strikeing ability. that dog looks like it has both. yep they are lacking stamina. but to be honest with regular work a good greyhound dont need it . you dont need a lot of stamina to stand over a kill. although i wouldnt tell another country how to conduct there own sport. its one dog on the back of a hare for me . or any other sporting quarry for that matter 1 Quote Link to post
