Any pics of it mate, must have thrown to the greyhound to have been a regular hare catcher?

Mate I didn’t say it was regular hare catcher but he did take it up there and it done the business and running up there is no push over

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😔

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.

Of course a bull cross can catch a hare;

but that doesn’t necessarily make it a “hare dog”.

Cheers.

My grandads old mongrel Brandy caught hares, in fact my dads Akita once caught one, in a dyke. Lol

The funniest I ever saw was a big leggy terrier my mate owned that caught one after being twisted and turned by a pair of lurchers.

How many coursing breds make the grade mate and what classes a dog as being decent on hares? I've had decent dogs on hares, certainly more capable than bull crosses but where is the line drawn? I like the idea of seeing a cross putting in a good show against a hare when people say it can't be done.

Got me thinking about my first lurcher i got out of the exchange and mart when I was 16 and older lads telling me it would be no good for hare's as deerhound crosses were all the rage at the time he ended up making 24tts and was a lurcher to lurcher bred dog with collie and Bedlington in his mix. I remember once walking him near where i lived at Broom in Rotherham and a pick up pulling up and asking about him it was a Gypsy called Butch Price and with being only 17 at the time took up his offer to take me and a mate for a run the following Sunday morning saying i would meet him at the whippet racing behind Silverwood miners welfare he turned up in a mini cooper dressed in a 3 peice suit with the bottoms tucked into cowboy boots. I said where's your dog he made some excuse up about it so me and my mate Morris Cornthwaite who was a big lad even at 17 .Butch took us up on some back wacks on the Sandbeck estate that was red hot back then. We spotted an hare in a field that got up a fair distance and my dog killed it after a decent run i got the dog and hare and fecked off as we had spotted a land-rover on another road from the lane. Butch had us both in stitches some of the tales he was coming out with taking us back to the whippet racing offering me numerous lurchers he had in exchange for mine. 😆
