Omanyra 2,518 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 These dogs can pressure a hare and with a good mouth can kill what some people would maybe call a good hare early You can't say that, you'll have the plodding brigade say it was a poor hare! Lol Plodding brigade...love it, ha ha ha Quote Link to post

Lol Plodding brigade...love it, ha ha ha Lol yeah you know how it goes. Nothing to do with the dog not being fast or agile enough with a great strike, 'it was a poor hare'! Lol, As you said, I've never liked, wanted, owned and never will own a slow or plodding type dog 2 Quote Link to post

I agree with this too, but there are far more brainless plodders being bred, run, found wanting for speed and agility and still bred from , than there are good fast dogs that don't get enough credit and therefore not bred from as often as they deserve. And likely as not my thoughts on the subject don't really matter, as they are not the same as the majority of out and out coursing people Quote Link to post

fluff 409 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 saw enough of plodders ,fast dogs , meduim dogs you need pace on general fields 50 to a hundred acres been proven time and time again and if bred right no how to use there gears , i was brought up in good running land were a hare would stretch a meduim paced dog , you need pace to get there then bend him then try and work the hare , then snap him up , i like going out at nite as well as day without pace wouldnt get half as much gear or exiting chases ,when you see some of these big furry dogs you wonder if they can catch a good strong winter hare ,or ones with big wide fronts its a hare we are after not a red stag , 2 Quote Link to post
