desertbred 5,490 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Some folks seem to be more interested in the numbers on the door than in seeing a good race and course ,A good fit experienced dog pitted against a good fit Hare on its home turf provides a good spectacle to appreciate. Unless matching when the result is dependant on numbers most of the memorable dogs Hares and runs often ended in a day for the Hare. The artistry of the mind games and skill of the animals is where the enjoyment comes not the need to see fur in the mouth.. The days of coursing seem to have been superceded by the need to be famous especially on the internet be it dog or man. Enjoy the days out as surely they are dwindling and time is not on our side.Atb Edited January 15, 2017 by desertbred 7 Quote Link to post
billhardy 2,343 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 To my eye the bitch that did the 7 minute run on that video although showing bucket loads of staying power she was never really in control of her quarry only very very briefly,the hare dictated that run from the start..that shouts out to me she's quite a slow bitch & im not saying speed is everything but if you were wanting to run elsewhere in the country it sure would help,if she couldn't take control at barely any stage she is nothing more than a one trick pony,if it took her 7 minutes to end this on that land then she hasn't much of a chance elsewhere or certainly not to regularly amass a decent body count? If running there & not wanting to get your dog out of its comfort zone & elsewhere across the land is your thing then i guess she's pretty much top class but if you want more from your dog then there's far better out there..just my opinion mind you . I agree fugi with lots what yas saying but it's blatantly clear with those boys there animals are bred fa there ground and there game atb bunnys. Quote Link to post

Moja 111 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Totally agree I've never owned a top dog being honest but the man who taught me did several he was always happy endings his day with 3 hares going home it was only my stuberness that pushed his dogs a bit further nipper his fawn deerhound greyxcolliegrey was very fast a cast of buy young lads running her into the ground at 10 months anyway I seen nipper killing seven hares on double wire fences hills ditches In January now that's a dog at the top of its game she never did it again because he never let me run her like that again she killed from wick to tring and never gave the man a showing up . sounds a good animal!

desertbred 5,490 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Get on a top hare any where and you can be left with your pants down. Yes exceptional dogs have exceptional days but they are few and far between. The thing on the big land and the black if you get on a flyer there is no where to hide if the dog makes a mistake the thing is in plaIn sight for all to see. Dogs is not the game to be in if you get embarresed because theres good days average days and plenty of very bad days but the satisfaction is dealing with the bad ones ,recognising any faults or shortcomings and putting them right. . You can only run whats in front of the dog and put in the time and effort to try to get a good days sport, nothing is written in stone in the game other than if it can go wrong it usually does Edited January 15, 2017 by desertbred 4 Quote Link to post
