Once a week they’ve got 6 days rest in between outings most dogs should thrive being ran like that 1 Quote Link to post

ianm 2,594 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Coursing bred dogs are a law unto themselves. Years ago i bought a strong dog pup out of a litter that on paper was one of the best matings available. When you looked at him you would think he would be able to run and kill plenty of good hares. By the time he was twenty two months old he still hadn't killed one and didn't even look like doing so. He didn't have enough pace to get to a hare never mind pressure it. His father was Buddy and the bitch was a well bred and well tested bitch. A while later a got a three quarter Greyhound One quarter Saluki bitch at twelve months old. She had plenty of pace and often straight lined a hare and killed it. Then one day when she was about three she ran up to a hare and turned off it after having killed one half an hour earlier. I left her off the lead and started walking back to my vehicle. Ten minutes later she put one up herself and killed it after three turns. She did the turning off them thing a couple more times over the next year and i believe she could tell they where good hares and wanted no part of them. I gave her away as a pet. Over the years i learned one thing with coursing dogs and that is nothing is certain or guaranteed. 2 Quote Link to post

I bred a litter of three quarter grey quarter saluki mine dint jack but if it went more than a minuet you could see em running out of steam like yours they looked impressive at times both mine killed themselves. 1 Quote Link to post
