banner man 588 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) also like to add that im very sure there has been plenty of irish dogs that went to eng and couldnt hack it but the same could be said if the english lads came over here more often maby a lot of there dogs wouldnt hack ireland, there is plenty of good english breeding here in ireland and iv no dought they very good dogs but to say a dog has to have english blood to be a good 1 is crazy, where did the saluki come from??? it sure didnt come from ire or eng so maby we should be saying that a dog has to have south arabia blood to be good?? ps was just thinking there i was speaking to t.m a while back and he also said the hares in certain parts of ireland equally as good as certain parts of england Edited June 17, 2013 by banner man 1 Quote Link to post
nans pat 2,575 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Your wrong jim best hares are in eng that's why best dogs in ire now have eng blood in them. Go over run them then cooment I've run kildare and carlow I've run all over eng you won't find better than coveny. No dog go there run 5 them they just don't fold. If eng no good why everyone bring pure saluki and eng blood in there dogs. first of all john i never said eng hares or dogs no good, you say the best dogs in ireland has eng blood in them, who has the best dogs in ireland?? because to be fair every man fancys his own dogs so thats very debateable in my opinion, secondly your right iv never hunted eng so i cant say which hares are better but there is a good few men from ireland that hunt england and each and every 1 of them say that you get good hares in both places so it seems your the only person that thinks that hares better in eng, your right about land being bigger in england but in saying that there is some great land in ireland big enough for any dog, so it be intresting to get other lads opinions thats hunted both places??? good post bm.i hunted eng only thing the ground bigger and depends on the length of the slip.ina couple of the comps we run the english men were slipping your dog giving the hares big advantage.on an ordinary hunt slipping your own dogs close the hares are easy killed not like here. as for the best dogs in ireland having english blood in them lol would you not spout the same crap if you had ayard full of them asking telephone numbers for them.

gorger 977 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm glad you said that john cause your dad and you were example of people in ire has good dogs with eng blood. So has temple king he going years. So has philip king remember ginger french sent him dogs. So did nooney send him the pure he put over louth tiger dads judie all best dogs in ire have eng blood its made them stronger. Any lads that go to eng on a regular basis knows its the cream of the crop reason why more hares better land see ur dog run. Ire has great land and good hares but sadly not enough hares on our good land. 1 Quote Link to post
