Nice bitch, them galgos must have good feet for the ground they run on but still they must get there fair share of injuries looking at some of that rock hard ground they run on, it must of just been the pic that made that one toe look swollen 

Same as over here plenty end up injured inspite of good feet, nature of the game unfortunately. A nice bitch, India, pulled up in the semifinals of the national having knackered her feet on the ground,  great little thing kept killing the hares in under a minute,  inspite of big slips, and so having the course disqualified and having to re run again and again through repeated rounds till she had nothing left but will and fecked feet.

I saw a pup out of her litter sister advertised and was tempted but a bitch alas.

I’ve been told to get him starting here and there at a odd rabbit at 7months and then start him properly at 12 months? wanted to here others opinions 

How is he bred mate ?

These do us for half cross Bull breeding. Wouldnt want to get obsessed with conformation.The most important thing in a dog is what you cant see, gameness and drive, intelligence etc but if anything is important in physique its feet.

Them ones that get sore nail beds just got to make sure always wash the feet down properly after a day out soak with warm salt water and hibiscrub and get all the dried compacted mud from round the nail beds with a toothbrush or they start getting infected and can be really sore for the dog if not kept in check

Knocked up toe, behave yourself . That's a back foot and as such always sit up tighter than a front.

She was getting on when that picture was taken but never had a toe injury in her life beyond the odd broken nail or so. 

 won in open field coursing in Spain as a sapling. 

 

And although she was still a pretty thing when she came over she soon earned the marks of her trade as she then ran as a lurcher in Britain.

 

And I'm sure that nose just kept growing

 

There's a big difference between a knocked up toe and natural bone development,  big dense bone from generations of running difficult ground. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bloody foreigners
