Whippet x greys

[Rudeboy 1 152]

I met Ted walsh on a considerable number of occasions nice good quality guy.my  bowline whippets i never chose to run with any British coursing clubs  the late Ted walsh tried to convince me to join up and enter my dogs into the coursing stud books...I declined merely due to the fact in weren't my cup of tea unfortunately.no purebred whippet that exceeded 20 inch to the withers coursing whippets exceeding that height were not eligible to compete....Good old Ted walsh lives on!!

same this way mate hares were for eating same duck pheasant etc rabbits aswell but they was mostly sold 

plenty a grews pure greys but they wasnt single handed dogs so to speak hunting for food doubled 

saluki and single handed come about the same time lol

Op quarter bred whippet x greyhounds were undoubtedly far pounds pthan the first cross whippet x greyhound  to course  ig brown hares but having said that my stud ACE a blue first cross wxg was a truly fantastic longdog that would and could knock over single handed some of the strongest hares in terms of regularity! ACE stood 25 inches to the withers and weighed in on the scales at 52 pounds in body weight a really magnificent longdog bred by me out of my bloodlines

Each to there own but I know a few spots holding the same subspecies of hare I start pups on them at 7-8 Month they're easy running I've took older dogs up they've done 12/13 a piece just in a few hour we did 41 one morning between 4 dogs if it wasn't for the keeper hating them passing ticks on to the grouse I'd not of bothered with the older dogs 

I think the Irish hares run just as fast and as long as the brown hares Do I think ur talking about the blue hare witch is smaller again I think it all so called the alphine hare there is no blue hares over here as far as I know

 I'm a Welsh true grit Valley boy  born and bred went to school there boxed there and bred there.im a devote of the genuinely bred whippet xgreyhound longdog / hybrid have been for literally dozens andaof years 30 odd to be precise I'm not like certain beatles who swap a d change their running dogs like no tomorrow a sad state of affairs. I'm in the process of preparing for a 2nd bloodline of whippet x greyhounds longdogs probably the best ever field dogs one could ever imagine. Having said that they are no ultimates or worldbeaters nevertheless they are intelligent, lightning quick,agile,keen,good honest workers that provide the real thrills and spills both in the coursing and lamping field yours in sport my true friends  carl Williams South Wales.

Normal fields and escape routes, same as greyhound coursing.

Haven't a clue on times.

Dont forget, this like greyhound, coursing under rules, is meant to test dog against dog, not dog against hare. 

Cheers.

the hares playing mate ever time you think its just missed it a good hare do that all day lol to kill them the dog has to make them think chasing snapping wont do it mate 

and no dog born on wet land can chase a hare snapping itd lose yards just drain itself quick mate 

 

true that, ive never had a daytime hare dog as such , the best i had was 25 in bitch, she say 90 % greyhound the rest collie whippet , she caught few in the day, but like you say she try catch quick snapping at  it then over running them till she was fooked. but idid have little racing none ped whippet bitch 20 in 20 lb , she get up to them quick , but burn out quick if she didnt catch, but down the track in cannock  west mids  a bloke thee had  2 brothers 23in 32 lb   that catch daytime hares , and kill foxes in the lamp, these type we had , had greyhound in them , and Stafford bull terriers  in there make up, tough little  fast dogs with great agility and strong for there size. i dont think they race them now in the west mids , pity as it was great crack , i know few race them up north , but not sure about west mids  anybody know  ?
