Cashells Evening;

This little bitch was brought over from America and did well at the last Waterloo Cup.

Only around 24" and 40 odd pound.

Cheers.

Think I’ve seen some clips of her on YouTube if it’s the one I’m thinking of she was tight on her hares and stuck to them like glue

actually mate they wernt ....the first was over a minute....and the hare got away ...it killed the second hare maybe 30..40 seconds...missed the 3rd...and killed the 4th...I remember max saying to the owner after the second run to go rub it down and put it in the van....after the 3rd..and 4th run....max was pleading with the owner to put it away...

20 seconds in to the 5th run it went over....I was 50 yard away ...I ran up to it and got it on its feet...lead on rubbing it down....got it to the road and my Mrs took it back to the keepers house who's land we were on...it made a full recovery...luckily..

that day was the first time that greyhound had been on a live hare

It's very easy to over tax any dog, especially if there's plenty of gear to run.

These days I give three runs if there's a " gruellrer" amongst them. If they are easy or very short runs, maybe one or two more, that does it for me and the dog. Also, I like to be on and off before it comes on top !

Lamping is different......a few seasons ago I had five hares off one field with Lima, the old deer cross, and called it a night, it was just slaughter, not sport. 

Maybe im getting old ?

Cheers.

if you watch greyhounds racing they go over that you plum  

your going to damage the dog as soon as it hits something that can run on abit and a big grey is hard to carry

Any dog that hasn't been reared around cover will be shite nevermind an ex racing greyhound that probably was never let run free in the countryside till it was classed as a failure at 14 to 24 months.

a greyhound is poor as a hunting dog mate full stop reared in the field or not most a the old boys i know when they was the track ten mins away would give the racers the odd hare as pups and adults  on walks etc
