fitchet 788 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Alright lads. Im going to pick up another coursing type pup soon but im looking for one to run on the small hedgy land/old air fields near where i live. I have a dog thats killing good numbers on this type of land but is more suited to the big land. A friend said alot of irish coursing dogs carry irish terrier blood and in ireland its more "field" than "fen". So my question is has anybody tried one of these dogs in england for knocking one or two over on small fields or would a saluki/whippet type suit this land better ? Atb Quote Link to post
low plains drifter 10,388 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I've got a dog of the Irish breeding,he's about 26/27 inch tts just looks like a usual tall coursing dog,only ran him on small land,tightest dog I've ever seen and fast to the back of them,pups out of him have the same running style,seems to be a style well known to the dogs with the Irish terrier blood,I wonder if it could be the terrier influence on the saluki blood making these dogs try so hard to end a run,rather than hanging back,it's certainly an exciting style to watch Quote Link to post

scroat 62 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 somebody was posting last night you need at least 1/2 english breeding in irish dogs to be any good so your better off breeding your own. Quote Link to post

The dog I have is a grandson to irish lady,he used to tie them in knots and could box them up into a small area,was a shock to me and a few other lads to see such a big rangey dog run like that,he's 10 year old now but still likes to show what he can do now and then,wish he was 2 year old again lol Quote Link to post
