scotish preban coursing pics

[thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,482]

The picture is not that clear when you zoom in but I’m pretty sure that bloke with the red bitch the second from the right hand side in the second picture down is Dennis burns with his bitch called gyp. He won a competition called the Cawdor coursing challenge in Scotland with that bitch and beat sankey, Harry burton etc to win. He put that bitch gyp to Caulfield’s joe and I drove up to the top of Scotland to get one of the pups about 14 years ago and still running the same bloodlines to this day

there were 4 men in each team every body ran every body so each dog had four courses and I honestly cant remember one getting away, all the dogs were decent single handed dogs, I don't care for double running but a great time was had with some good lads, me and steve Roberts were up for dog of the day but he got it.

Sniper, that's a blast from the past

I was stopped by a coursing man one time when out road walking he wanted to know about my dogs, and then went on to tell me about all the good dogs he had seen, and how he rated Sniper as the top stamina dog of the lot
