I have had fast dogs made to look daft by February hares, Ears back and full throttle they are a creature to behold. Watched one of mine straight lined over 3 fields and into a great big wood, He caught it in the wood but the thing is he caught a hell of a lot the rest of the season, it just appears that February and the frosts, combined with most of the daft ones already dead makes for a rocket on legs lol Quote Link to post

Runner96 511 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Best “all rounder” I have seen has to be a saluki, bull, grey. Plenty of heart and style. Caught things on ground that I have seen plenty of dogs struggle 1 Quote Link to post
Whoknows 163 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Don’t worry too much about the x just get a pup out of dogs that you like that are really good at doing whatever it is you want to do with your dog. People tend to over complicate things. 13 Quote Link to post
dodger 2,754 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I had a dog who's grand dam was a pure bull making her 1/4 she was one of if not the best hare dog iv ever had iv never worked a lurcher as hard as I did her and that bitch thrived on it and she was always at her best on top hares the ones you don't bump into often. Would I have her again, I wouldn't I don't have the energy she was as obedient as a lab but once on she could be quite full on not for the fsint hearted.

leegreen 2,166 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Wouldn't have a Lurcher without a bit of Bull in it. They add more than any single breed, even the Greyhound. If there were any other decent large terriers, I would consider those too, but there isn't. 3 Quote Link to post
