Seen a few posts on here sucking up to the fen guys as if the fens was the be all end all of Lurcherdom.... Which is your fav fen man and dog springs to mind! :friends: I'll be honest here, I've seen the videos and get this... it don't do it for me. Yes it has wide open space and it's a wildlife camera mans dream because of this but it is so anti hare giving an unfair advantage towards the dog.

 

The nearest cover for the dog is MILES away! The Hare gets up, the dog looks at it as it ambles away knowing fine well a 100 yards is F all and so does the hare. If ANY dog can't get onto a hare with a hundred yard start in the fens then I'd be amazed and I don't just mean lurchers. I'd like to see a full bred Alsation on one just to see what happens. So what I am basically saying is that the one only real quality a good fen dog needs is Stamina! Hence all the Saluki crosses that have sprung up over the last decade.

 

Now, I reckon places like Perth are far harder and are more demanding on a dog. You need a canny dog with good wits about it to catch a hare here. It needs to be fast off the mark and also have good stamina. A decent size field might only be 50 acres and get this, there are fences :tongue4: to negotiate. Do fen hares actually know what a gate is?

 

What you reckon?

i take it your from scotland sounds like this guy likes runing in his back garden

the fens is not about just catching hares mate qaulity of sport seeing the race etc i live in areas were the hares are no slouch but alot of races you dont see it all , same as roe you get places were the deer no what a dog is and he has only a few hundred yds to go to wood they can go like the wind some times , no fences to stop them as there no stock so they hit a wood like if they have nite sites , the fens is not about the best dog in perth its the best dog in the fens , lurcher well clever guys breed dogs which last and suit the locality were they hunt the dog in perth maybe not last twice a week on the fen or matching weekly in winter , ythere more to it than meets the eye if your down weekly as my freind done for yrs

 

 

well said fenn hares are the best

I had a Pakistani lad on the blower 4 weeks ago wanting to buy a dog off me to export to Pakistan for the Pakistani greyhound derby.

Did you send him one over  ?
