Summer hunting of Hare puts the Lurcher world to shame, it takes all the skill out of the hunt for we all know the difference between summer and winter hares.

 

You see the scores of idiots on Facebook gloating that the dog had pulled a youngster claiming 2 up, 2 down bulls£&*t in the middle of summer and they have there mates jumping on saying "well in lad"???.

 

There not running with fair law, There not running with any regard for the dog and half the time the dog is a pup it's self.

 

There is no respect for the Hare - they deserve to breed, if you want to hunt a real one in winter - Leave them alone! Once considered the biggest test of a dog given fair law, but totally disrespected by a bunch of amarture's who are not really dog men - they want the quick and easy. For me summertime is getting the dog in condition for the season ahead to face the quarry when they are both at there peak and that is what I get out of dogs, training, rearing and conditioning a dog and then putting it to the test.

 

You hear the same excuses of "there are loads round here" or "Just starting the young pup off". You don't need to run a summer hare with a young dog for an easy kill if you enter the dog at the right time. For me doing things the right way is all that matters and that's why you hunt in season. We have all stumbled across something while walking the dog in summer and fair play if you stumble across a daytime catch fair enough, but driving out of your way to knock over summertime leverets is a joke in my eyes.

 

You only have to go on Facebook to see litter after litter of top class lines or "very chancy pups" this dog x that dog. No disrespect to the coursing community but 90% of these people are the ones who run dogs all year round and that's why we see so many "11 month old", "top class", "never seen a thing" Lurchers for sale or swaps (what ever the feck that is) that would of made good dogs if people actually had a clue in the first place.

bang on, very good post ??

Agree 100 %. Similar sort of thing I've said in the past, not so much summer hunting of hares, but people trying pups at 10, 11 12 months or whatever at hares. Way too young. Then alot of those same pups will be for sale, and passed on, and on. What the f**k is the rush?! Wait til your dog is physically, and mentally, ready, which will NOT be 10,11 or 12 months

Same back to yah pal! They are a bunch of t!ts who don't know what a good dog is, someone who knows a lot once told me it takes 3 years to find out if you have a really good dog or not and I think that rings true alot of bloke claiming alot in a dogs 1st or 2nd season, nothing to say a you should be scared to work a young dog and bring it on but for the biggest tests wait until the time is right. Many a dog sold on because the fella thought it didn't like teeth or lacked the chest space for a long ears but 9/10 it was entered too young or in the wrong circumstance... slowly slowly catchy monkey.

My thoughts again, I've got all the patience in the world when it comes to judging the right time for my dogs to be started to work
