The saluki ain't for me or the land I run but at their game there's nothing near them my dogs would still be in the ditch after a run like that haha

To be fair a lot of whizz bangers would have caught these Hares quicker, thought proper coursers give fair law?

Fair law , it its in the same county as me and the dog sees it it gets slipped on, A good hare doesnt start running untill the dogs behind it. To be fair the slip was off his bootlaces and that isnt the fastest saluki by any means..

I've seen this dog run loads in my opinion he's one of the best I've seen me cousin got a bitch out of him not quite as good but not far off I think he's left a few decent pups

I've always wondered this, a slow plodder might have more stamina than an up and at em type. But more than likely each run will be more taxing and longer than a faster dogs. In the end doesn't it even itself out? The faster dog with less stamina will catch the hares quicker than the plodder thus spending less energy.

it comes down to the ground conditions and quality of the hares January with the ost on the back they go up several notche so a plodder will struggle a bit but a fair paced saluki will get on box themand do their job, seen plent of wizz bangers get straight lined in the dead of winter, a good coursing dog wil lpick up the boxing habit, also ,a saluki will maintain fitness for longer periods than the flying machines and are not prone to the number of injuries to feet and muscle tears the wizz bangers are. The pace of an up and at them will burn more energy than a saluki just by the nature of running. on seed the edge would go to the courser on bottomless black the reverse would be apparent I suppose its how long is a piece of string. Meet mr right and it will run another day ,let it make a mistake and its done fore. The ball muscle structure of the up and at them will lactic up a lot quicker than the elongated muscle of the saluki so fatique will set in quicker also a saluki s heart is larger and pumps more oxygen to the blood so recovery times are quicker.

The best I've seen on tape was the dog Lucky, made Hares look like rabbits.

Captain imo was good to watch

was it not a case of the flint dog pushed and pushed the hare in to making a mistake thus making his own luck just the same as a terrier pushing his quarry round an earth till eventually he pushes it into a stop end drive and determination

Does a hare ever turn around and face the dog ?

Silly comparison.

I'm not for one second saying anything bad about the dog in the video as I know that dogs in that game don't get a reputation by accident.

I just think that nearly every time the hare turned she turned on her own sod, not because the dog made her. The dog didn't drive at her once and wet conditions is harder on the hare than a dog that's over 20 inches tall.

The hare was slowed down by the ditch and that allowed the dog to kill her, it's as simple as that and I'm only saying it as I see it.

I disagree wet conditions favour the lighter hare

I disagree wet conditions favour the lighter hare

That's what I believe, the dog sinks more than the lighter Hare.

That dog 'Lucky' is one hell of a dog.

The only time the odds are in my dogs favour is when he's on a leveret on stubble in September

[Tony0610 37]

the point I was trying to make in reply to neil was were you said good dogs make there own luck imo the dog had made its own luck with its persistence and got a break when the hare slowed for the ditch . don't get me wrong I would have liked to have seen the dog take it cleanly but that's coursing
