A pic of a few dogs owned by London lads in the past. The white bitch was the litter sister to the great grand dam to lucky the dark destroyer i believe. The brindle bitch was a fx saluki greyhound. 

No better feeling than bringing a dog on from a pup...giving them a spin at 10/11 month old and  watching it take it's first rabbit/fox/deer etc...no drug comes close Neck😔

The man goes on all the f***ing time about coursing bred dogs. I loved a spin but a wouldn't say saluki x are the best out there. He'll say to people get your self a coursing bred dog. Many that was on here that were coursing lads have gone when Robin W set up his page on fb lol. Tilly an a few lads from Ireland  few Scottish lads were on too. Can remember tommy O'Neil good lad had a good crack on here. Few good dogs bred out of john's lucas out of panther there on youtube or was.  Many good lads were on here. But many have gone.  But them days have gone on here with coursing  images not many even talk about it anymore. But MC wants to convert every f****r. First injury my dogs had an he's 8 year old so hes not done bad. I dont need to be putting images on here. It's not me that will get it in neck it will be the mods. Few years back we used too put them up. Give them a day they'd be taken down. It's an open forum any f****r can join

I’ve no doubt that saluki hybrids ARE the best coursing dogs out there. It’s what they’ve been selectively bred for.

But that doesn’t mean other types can’t do the job. Here in the north east Deerhound blooded dogs were doing the job before the saluki types came along. 
I like daytime coursing, but the punishments are so draconian now you can’t be wondering around fields all day, you need to be on and of quickly and move on, you also need a dog that’s a bit of an “all rounder”, I probably do more lamping these days.

I know my pal mC will come back at me and say the saluki hybrid is an all rounder, that may be so, but having owned and worked most types, it wouldn’t be my choice these days, I want something a bit more “biddable”.

Its down personal choice.

Cheers.

good post if a little misleading lol

Not misleading in the least mate, just my personal opinion based on personal experience.

I was quite clear that saluki hybrids, in my opinion , are the best coursing dogs and said it was down to personal choice what type you preferred in todays political climate and your chosen quarry and methods.

Cheers.

The hybrids are superior on hare, no?

But, if the pures were better, why would you want the saluki lurcher, especially for the task we are talking about.

To be fair that one was a lovely dog to have around apart from it going mental and killing desert dogs, and the only way you could get it back was to open the car door and it would jump in. Fell for it every time.

I’d upgraded to a Range Rover by then ! LOL !

I had a couple of pures and a couple of crosses but he was my favourite, I had him from 6 months until I had to get him put down at 17.

I wish I had more pics but back then there wasn’t digital camera and not many chemists where you could get film developed in Saudi.

Cheers.
