“Should make good rabbit dogs”

[C.green 3,231]

Tbh i dont see breeding a litter as having to sell sommat they should sell em selves. Dog worlds small enough someone somewhere knows someone. Thing i dont like to see with these internet litters theres like weekly updates alot of talk about doing this or that then about 9-10 month old mark all goes quiet. Ive also done the thing of taking pups off someone and as pups are getting older you find u and the feller bred em got very different ideas on a decent dog. But you live and learn i suppose.

 

never bred a litter of lurchers but if i do id like to hear the negatives of what ive produced atleast then u know your dogs in honest hands.

Easier just being honest about how much your dogs actually done but barely anyone is

Very true most of these top dog owners usually take offence when you mention anything negative about the pups They bred

Law of averages there’ll be shite in every litter no matter how good parents are, I remember hearing about Lucas x crow, 3 full litters of top hare killers, then saw one getting dragged about in November, but anyone that says that gets jumped on by the groupies, same with all the big name money makers.

you get that all the time in the coursing job, talking dogs up, how good they are in cover, cos they cant kill a gooden on the seed, most dogs on the dvds get dragged all over then kill in the dyke, ffs, top class.

Just my experience with the coursing game like but that sort of thing all comes back to money, all the groupies & PR crew talking dogs up because they’re either going to be up for stud, or having a litter in the near future.

Pet hate of mine to be honest men talking other lads dogs up for them, if I see a good dog I’ll always give credit where it’s due and tell the owner well done, but I wouldn’t embarrass myself coming on sites like this & being so far up another mans arse you could barely see my shoes.

Although you have to admire a decent pot filling dog that's good in cover I agree with you in that aspect, you see countless courses ended in a ditch. 

That doesn't tell me that the dog is a good hare courser, hell I've seen my dad's old Akita catch a hare in a dyke.

I'll probably get my head bitten off here but here goes. I've never owned a fen dog and haven't run the fens for over 30 years and never went in for competitions when I did but as the running is single handed, success involves a single handed catch. Seems to me that a hare caught in cover is just as caught as a hare which is herded off the cover first so being good at catching in cover is just as much a skill as catching in the open. Might not look as good but the hare is still caught and they don't usually take to cover anyway until they're feeling the pressure.

Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong now. I won't answer as the space bar on my keyboard isn't working and I've had to copy and paste every space in this post manually.

You can take solace in the fact that you've just rambled on about coursing, in a rabbiting dog thread m f .

only joking m f, a dead rabbit or hare is a dead rabbit or hare.

And I certainly wouldn't ridicule you on your computer skills, I couldn't even paste and copy, whatever that means, if I wanted to

To be honest when I was coursing I didn’t care if the hare was caught in a dyke, a hedge, a wood or out in the open, maybe that differs from a lot of people but I was just happy to see my dog with a catch

that gets done as well and photose in the morning lol, with regards to rabbiting dogs if that's what they are bred for say so in your selling speal, nothing wrong with that, it seems these days if a dog cant or wont kill a fox its somehow inferior , even when clearly not bred for such tasks.

I love watching my whippet lurchers run a hare.They're  rabbit dogs and hare on the steep hills where I hunt are a big ask but I just like them running them and catching is second to that for me but it's good to watch them open up.Lack of rabbits around me atm might have me looking for a bigger dog soon.
