A lot of people say don't lamp a coursing dog because it will stop at hedges wont enter cover all of that nonsense I don't believe this other people might have different views on the matter I've lamped every dog I've owned hard and not one has stopped

I take it you mean lamp on rabbits? Never had a dog yet that doesn't know the difference between a rabbit getting to cover and a hare. Wouldn't say it makes them any more keener than a dog out daytime just as much as one doing both.

rabbit, hare or whatever, commitment is commitment whether day or night, that doesn`t mean your dog has to do a bulldozer impresion everytime it reaches a hedge. an expierenced lamping dog will have learnt that rabbits will stop sometimes just inside the hedge, the same as a good daytime dog will have learnt that a hare will use a hedge to shake its pursuer and will follow it through or over. a good alrounder will have learnt both

My a pinyon if you have a day dog that's,taking his time or tying to run to clever,I think a few rabbits on the lamp do sharpen um up,and I have had day dog with too much lamping for some reason stops at hedges,when before hand wood go strait threw

A dog that stops when quarries in cover wont catch much around here. Also hares often hit a hedge and sit just inside it. Ive witnessed several dogs catch them this way.

why would anyone want to lamp a good coursing dog? two different games and different styles of running. like flat race and steeple chasers horses for courses . Some lads may have all round lurchers that will take a bit of anything but like the old saying jack of all trades and master of none.

a jack of all trades will allways find work where as a master will get very choosey

Stopping at hedges I would be questioning a dogs commitment
