Same here and you often here the owner on tape referring to herding blood in him even though their was some class hare killing dog's in his pedigree and proven bloodlines their was also a good honest dog with collie blood in him in the make up of this unique dog.

You hear him say on tape he herded that hare up like an old collie dog, never heard him say there is actually collie in him, what dog in his make up has collie in ? The only thing i can think of is maybe his mother seal ? Not sure exactly how she was bred

Maybe some coursing dogs did have the odd bit of non coursing blood somewhere in the lines but it would be that diluted it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference, I hardly doubt that's the reason for them being great dogs.

Remember a article in the cmw about MP Lucky and Tina, and he mentions something about collie blood and herding to the guy. It's the saluki blood though imo, purebreds work hares don't they

Collie, beddy, bull, "Norfolk" all sorts in them at the start. But like you say mainly saluki

That's it, if other blood was in there at some point they were great dogs despite that blood not because of it. 

It was the saluki blood and smart breeding that made them top hare killers.

On my bucket list is a trip to the USA running dogs. Pronghorn antelopes are on my list of species I’d love to see run out there. 

I've said I would get over to Dan the man in Illinois one day and have a few days out with him and the lads on the coyotes. If I remember correctly he used to say that dogs have no chance on the pronghorns. Still it would be great to watch.

i don’t think there was herding dog in his make up mate i think he meant it’s herding that’s how a saluki runs it will get tighter and tighter each bend slows the hare up 

he was an excellent dog but unique ? his style was suppose to be same as his sire cauldfields joe another classy dog who was out of swoop same again classy so not really unique i wouldn’t say butt definitely a quality dog 

Whippet in ther as well as collie lol  he drilled em from the off relentless. How proper dog should be instead of the yawn

One thing I've noticed about this coursing bred dog compared to my old and other lurchers I've seen, is the sheer power and agility in the run. He will knock other dogs out of the way with his arse at full speed spinning in circles, change direction 90° at top flight without slowing in the slightest. It's unbelievable to watch. Whether that's just him or coursing bred in general, I don't have enough experience to say but it is fuucking impressive to watch.

drilled em from the off you wont kill the strong hares unless the dog knows when to sit in work it the dog had brains running with its head up at times 

there would never be a whippet born be haslf the dog he was

That's what I was saying with his unusual style, it's like he wasn't even trying with his head up like that, I can't imagine it being the most efficient way of running at near your limit.
