a question on deer

[dai dog 11]

now its well known that a lot of dogs that want to, will, catch deer! but a lot of these dogs do so, by the deer panicking, & bouncing off fences etc. who, pre ban had dogs, to catch, lets say roe with a long slip on open land, without any obstacles, in the day? what way were the dogs bred & how tall? a question ive often wondered!

My ex track greyhound bitch standing at 26 inches took Fallow and Roe single handed in open fields with no obstructions, in the daytime. Pre ban of course !!!!

the most consistant daytime "Roe dogs" i've seen were all mostly made up of saluki and greyhound....they were coursing dogs but often knocked the odd deer over when the oppurtunity arose...

Good deer dogs should be able to take deer on open ground not just rely on them bouncing off hedges or fences.

.....always bumped into the buggers whilst coursing...and them saluki's give them a run for their money in the day!

The only thing about them saluki dogs is they still think there in the desert running in blistering heat and take to long to pull.

Judging by your statement you ain't seen to many saluki blooded dogs run

[hound dog 19]

I have seen a fair few in me time fella, they can kill things but take all day to do it and they dont like the pearly whites.

Must of been watching the wrong ones imo, for daytime work you won't beat a dog with a good percentage of saluki blood.

Yes he was a saluki blooded dog probably the best single handed deer dog i've ever owned or seen run. As for your other comment i would say the dogs i run please me easily but i'm not easily pleased
