i keep coursing dogs and i lamp em and they can do the 30 pluses on a regular basis on the lamp if they couldnt they wouldnt be with me long let me have my ten pence worth here theres always this myth with a lot of people who have never done any coursing that a hare dog cannot do the rabbit game .what a load of bollox if it can kill a hare what chance has a poxy rabbit got compared to a hare people slate the fens when the majority of these people have never been to the fens or if they have its never been in the middle of the winter or comments are made like they wont kill em round our way the truth of the matter is your running hares on cabbage patches no dog is going to kill em a dog no matter what way its bred to kill hares consistantly its got to have room unless your running em on the lamp . to all you doubters who say fen hares are no good i will say this go there in the winter and take your rabbit dogs and run a couple in january or lets say run four run em on some rolled dirt onto a piece of rolled wheat and see what happens i can tell you what will happen the dog if it doesnt have saluki blood will down tools no ifs buts or maybes its fact thats why you will never see a bull cross or a whippet x greyhound or a bedlington cross win the forley if it doesnt possess saluki blood it doesnt do the job i have coursed hares all over the country and i have always found fen hares weather they are lincoln fens peterborough fen or cambridge the strongest they are faster out of the seats and can stay better than most and comments like its so open theres no escape for the hare i say theres no hiding place for the dog either once hes out in the open .an old boy i used to course with years ago always had a saying to the rabbit boys in january i will give you fifty pound for every hare your dog kills and you give me 25 for every one it misses he never lost his bet when anyone took him up on it you can find numerous lamping dogs doing thirtys when the rabbits are on the ground but find a dog that do three out of three when the hares are on the ground in the daytime the majority that slate hare dogs or term em as fen dogs wouldnt have a dog to blow wind up a daytime hare. you can all scream back your stupid replys but i aint interested in answering you anymore in fact im quite pissed of with this internet shite but what i will say is wait until after xmas get your rabbit dogs fit and get yourselves up to the big land and give em a spin :thumbdown:

ASD not having a dig you say coursing dogs bred for the fen cant do a good job up your way BUT......what about the dogs u breed/Keep for hunting round your way can they do the job on the Fen ??? Not having a dog just trying to highlight a point.

 

Everytime this topic arises everyones opinions fire up Personally i keep what dogs do the job for me, they suit the style of hunting i do and the land i carry it out on, simple as that :yes:

 

ATB TOMMY :yes:

 

 

I have always stated that mine are lamp dogs ONLY Tommy ,i'm not saying they wouldn't catch on the big land but it's not my thing mate .It was as i said earlier Tommy,the Judy bitch was a machine on the Fens yet wasn't worth a carrot up here,the lad who i do my hunting with bought a dog off Nuttall stuff could kill up here ok but gave it a whirl on the lamp and he had to carry it home,totally different types of dog for totally different types of work .What i do with my dogs isn't everyones cup of tea but it is MINE and to be honest i don't give a flying **** what anyone else thinks.Good luck to the daywalkers who like to strut their stuff on the open land but you know and i know that you couldn't go to do a plumbing job with a set of carpenters tools and this game is no different .Cheers Andy.

well put

asd i keep a colli line but tthere not [bANNED TEXT] usal run of the mill colli line they go for anything lamp catch in daylite ferret ,roe, very good dog s and strong with it, but to keep a good line its hard to do it , as for the minshaw mith etc , ive been in places old vic hunted and caught bags of hares with all sorts of dogs and realy to me a bit of a myth there no better than what ive saw n my time and being honest a mongerly bunch like my own, but mines are traced back as they are not as old as ures ,i would like to see these dogs run and well if they are as good as they say and breed true maybe get a pup as my line is left with one bitch 8 years and feched and if she has no pups next time round ill be looking for a good alrounder again and im not fussed as long as they parents do the bisness etc yours in sporet i dont belive haldf is whats said as in her prime you could work her hard againa and again had people from all over with her and raely she was not a pet just a killing machine and would they run on big feilds driveing stubble after stubble on hare roe 60 acre feilds and keep there wind cause so far out with my saluk and her line not saw many dogs that will alawys looking for better mate, i dont live in small land so wind feet is important for lamping as is pace come chritmas the hares are sharper and just a tad more harder, if you eber fancy a nite or day it would be nice to see good dogs work as ive had the pleasure to see simliar types all over

[whin 463]

asd i have dogs bred out of merlin and eve strain and crossd them to my colli line very good type of dog ,got pics here of pups but want to keep her with a simliar type of dog lamping hunting type as i have enough good coursing types of dogs about me

[whin 463]

Seems to me the fen guys have lost the true meaning of hunting. It's all about money and numbers now, sad.

Its not about money its enjoying the course. i dont bet or challenge for money, i enjoy what i do as you enjoy what ever you do. sounds like your knocking people in what they hunt. sounds like your a WIND UP MERCHANT

 

 

HAPPY HUNTING PEOPLE

 

You say that but going with replies on here, money is a big part of it.
