Cousring Dogs

[Gos 4]

Where i live the fields on average are about 30-40 acres, all though there are some large fields 100 acres plus. Most of the fields are often surrounded by hedges and woodland, often with copses and coverts in the middle. I really like saluki crosses but some lack enough zip and drive to get on terms with a hare here. At the moment i have a saluki lurcher that was sired by JJ, although he has bags of pace he is not the fastest, i also have i have saluki cross which is at least 5/8 greyhound, he is only 11 months but can still stick with his quarry and has done for about 4 minutes, i think next season he will show a lot more promise and be a better dog for my area than the dog with more saluki.

 

Anyway, i would like a dog that would have been able to kill hares pre-ban. I would like a dog that has a quick running style and really dominates its hare, something that would be capable of picking up a hare quickly in smaller fields, i think this problem could be solved easily, however i would like a dog that i could get a good few runs out of in a day so i think an element of saluki blood would be needed? I dont really like the running style of some of these fen dogs and would idealy like something a little sharper, although i have heard that some lines are quick and can kill on any sized land is this true?. I would really appreciate some sugegestions?

 

Many thanks in advance

I have a video of Lucky killing a hare on a golf course,some dogs only run as fast as they need to,but as you say some saturated saluki types have difficulty getting on terms with hares on small hedgy fields, a friend of mine is breeding his bitch this year ,she has produced a quickish bitch that can do the business quickly ,but can hang on for 3 or 4 mins if.needed.

That is interesting Inan, how is she bred what sort of stamp? Do you need what dog is covering her?

For small fields like I have where I live a good whippetxgreyhound is deadly and has such acceleration the grass is smoking in her wake! The only problem is they tend to be injury prone. If you get a whippet greyhound with a bit of collie in there or terrier to toughen them then that should be all you need. Even a brace of whippets will do the job. It has to be good ground though.

HELLO MATE OVER THE YEARS OF SEEING A FEW DIFFRENT TYPES OF COURSING DOG MY PERSONAL PREFRENCE WOULD BE SALUKI/WHIPPET/GREYHOUND MIX ! THEY DO WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR QUICK RUNNING STYLE AND TURN ON A SIX PENCE STICKING CLOSE TO THE HARE GIVING HIM SOME SERIOUS PRESSURE AS I SAY ONLY MY OPINION ! COME NEXT SEASON YOUR PUP WILL COME INTO HIS OWN AND COULD BE THE DOG YOUR LOOKING FOR SOUNDS LIKE HE'S

DOING REALLY WELL FOR 11 MONTHS GOOD LUCK LET US KNOW HOW HE GETS ON
