Missie 1 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Coursing greys tend to be quite a bit heavier than track dogs. I've only ever seen coursing events (other than lure coursing) on the tv, its amazing to watch though even on the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest smashygadge Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 SmashygadgeWhat a lovely dog a real stunner yes i landed on my feet when she came along.dont no if she did much on the track think probably 2 timid around the traps, and the bangs etc.but what a dog in the open feild. she has come on a treat since i got her.not bad from a advert asking for a greyhound bitch.and just the size i wanted everything i could ask for.looking at yours you have a very nice one yourself.really cannot understand how anyone can part with one i no i couldnt let her go. and thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missie 1 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 really cannot understand how anyone can part with one i no i couldnt let her go. and thanks How do you think I ended up with two! My black dog only came to me as a foster! If I had room i'd have many more than just those two and my lurcher! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne & Lisa 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yes you are right you dont know you have them until they want food and then he gets on one until you give it to him but i got him from the bloke who raced him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missie 1 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've walked past people who will pick up thier dogs as we go by because they think that my dogs are evil killers. Paris can't be trusted with some small dogs but she is always under control. Its a shame that some misinformed people give greys a bad name but then I suppose lots of breeds suffer that too.
