low plains drifter 10,736 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Next time anyone thinks of calling salukis slow,try watching these fast greyhound type dogs trying to keep on terms with one of this planets gteatest athletes on flat open ground,that sun baked ground looked as dry as a nun's crutch lol Quote Link to post
RED_BULL 460 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Great video that was some good runs on there Quote Link to post
PoshPikey 560 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Weirdly I read last night in "Hounds of the World" that Galgos are slower than our greyhounds. Hard to tell. Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,796 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 cracking vid there mate that second course just shows what kind of athlete the brown hare is Strictly speaking its not a brown hare,,,,,in Spain it's a sub species called the granada hare or Iberian hare,,, there's another that lives in a small area in the north of Spain called the broom hare,,,, but its the Granada or Iberian hare that there coursing Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Recon those Galos would be good in a lurcher line.. Mabir better than a Grey ?? Seem to have good stamina.. I watchted some Cousring in Ireland this year, some of the dogs got carried off after a min run.. Anyone been then ?? Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,796 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Not me mate,,, but I would love to go on trip out there hunting,,,Richie10 of here was looking in to it back in the autum,,, don't know weather he sorted anything,,,, Being honest though they way them hares were running,,, I don't think Venus would be capable of dealing with them. Be a good adventure though 4 lads with dogs touring France and Spain ,, all you need is a transit and a tent...lol 1 Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a Tent if anyones got the Van & a bit of local knowlegde I would not fancy my dogs chances on one of them, mabie get a few good spins off a kick up.. Off one of there slips would be lucky to get a bend in Quote Link to post
