the definition of coursing, is the sport of hunting hares with dogs such as greyhounds, using sight not scent, says nothing about points, just hunting, the point of hunting is to catch what you hunt I believe

Coursing isn't hunting.. tell you what feck it i can't be bothered......

They would be in the UK coursing dogs already if they were better than what's already in there.

Don’t be like that   Once upon a time if you got caught tracing or tracking a hare in snow you got strung up nowadays it’s a Facebook norm

Sandycrack, have you ever thought of putting a well bred coursing dog over your galgo bitch ? Could be an interesting litter, don’t think it’s ever been done before over here

could take us back years lol, jokeing apart we don't need any random crosses back into the line, using them for crossing with other lurchers works to produce a good all round dog but I think the coursing lines should be protected, as they are.

You don't see many galgos hold a hare up or dictate the hares movement,  even after 3 minutes . Think that answers it

No yapping, easy to live with, greyhound/sighthound temperament. I have young children so dogs need to be bomb proof. 1300 years ago the moorish invaders occupied Spain and likely brought their saluki types with them, genetics backs this up, these bred with local greyhound types, the ancestors of English greyhound type, and the modern  Galgo is the result. 

Not really disagreeing with you here, yes, the moors , from north africa, morocco, libya etc, occupied spain, but it would've been the sloughi, not the saluki, that they took with them.  And it's the sloughi , more than, the saluki that is mainly responsible in the creation of the galgo

Yas right and what sandy has to remember our hounds had the infusion of our traditional cur mongrell jukel added this his where there nouse came from when running mr long ear a marriage of two very different types that nicked . Those Spanish missed out on this very important ingredient.atb bill
