Dranny GLC 112 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Pre ban where collie x greyhound ever used for hare coursing, would they have use them in matches? Quote Link to post
birddog 1,354 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 they caught hares for sure but the purists wouldn't call it coursing, picking them out of the seat or cover, hunting them up so now law given etc, a few 1st x's are racy enough to catch them in a fair run but certainly not match dogs as we now them 1 Quote Link to post

DazAllison1 556 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I had a 3/4 bred he was just like a big greyhound 28tts and he stopped plenty of hares but I doubt he would of made much of a fen dog, he was more suited to mooching about hunting his hares up Quote Link to post
