gorger 977 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 That's true Bm I said that earlier a dog needs ability not just speed or stay. I ask a Q to everyone on the site from ire. How many us have had a dog on a run say run going about 3 mins the hare pulls on the dog the gap opens up about 200 yrds the hare goes through a hedge dog through 30 seconds later none us knows what happened behind that hedge. And that hedge saved that dog cause time dog went through the hare gone. So dog has to stop as hare gone. Now in eng on a fen same run the hare pulls after 3 mins goes out into middle off the fen there's no hedge to save that dog it either shows good heart or it stops so at least you got to see what ur dog got in the tank. I for one have had dogs do that in ire but I know I wudnt brg them to eng as I know what gona happen. 3 Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Always said you can't compare both.Every land and every hare is different. Your dog will get tested in lreland in a different way it would get tested in england.Takes a good dog to run all types off land but as you said your dog suits you and where you run.Am sure there's dogs in england that have only seen the fen.If they come over here they be in trouble but am sure there's dog that would do it no prop.

hounddog3 743 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 You need everythg in eng as the rabs are rockets. Your dog need the lot or it end up in tears. I've the run both jim trust me I'm hunting down south 25 years I've been every part ire dublin holds best hares some places hold brillant ones espicially on seed land. On grass different hare. In eng all seed there's no hedges slow hares down. 1 run over there like 3 runs here to most men in a day. Some days in ire you don't get any runs every honest man admit that. Coveny fen in eng I don't think any dog could run that place twice a week and last full season there robots lol. thats a fair point, but lets say you have a dog thats fast and good stayer and can run great in england theres no guarantee that the same dog be good in ireland as i say when hes getting cuts and knocks almost everytime hes out he might soon get sick of it, plus iv seen dogs run fine in open ground but when the hare go in rushey field the dog would need glasses, so its a diffrent test to england, you yourself said last nite that you know there good if they can run both countrysI hunted ardee a few season, s ago with 2 lad, s who hunted eng every 3 week I was shiting myself my old mut aganist these 2 great english bred dog, s and listening about how many they kilt over there nevver missed.they got 3 runs each and stoped at the wire an headge on every 1 of them I was lucky I never got a slip allday.lol 1 Link to post
