they are the only breed of dogs mate that will stop hares on the fen at this time of year no other breed will catch em up there now

 

So........... Pray tell, what did they use before the mighty Saluki at this time of year? Or are the hares harder now?

pray all you want to like i say only saluki types will catch em up there now at this time of year and thats how it will be for the next 8 weeks or so . as any experienced coursing men will tell you

quite right if there was anything better we would be using it

Some folk become that narrow minded to there own kind, they can't see past the end of there own noses. You'd think every Saluki was a world beater just cos it's a saluki!!! I've seen some really good saluki's and I've seen some duffers, just like any breed. But to say only a Saluki could catch a winter hare on the fens and actually believe it, well...... :dance: :dance:

well boys i aint going to get into an argument with any of you concerning the attributes of the saluki because it bores me to tears but i aint narrow minded when i state that only saluki types will kill em up there this time of year i state it from experience gained from coursing big land for over thirty years and lamping for longer than that not from visiting the fens once or twice in a life time what i will say is this take any dog to lincoln with out saluki bloog in it now over the next 8 weeks get it on big land run two hares with it and the odds are it will jack and those with out the experience of running hares up there this time of year dispute that well i say this meet up up there and run a couple with us . we are not talking stubble hares or three quarter grown hares in november now we are talking the real thing winter hares theres a massive difference i can assure you

can any one who slags off salukis and the genuine saluki breed hare stoppers actually say i go coursing week in week out?

i dont think so. iv run theses dogs on feild and fen all over and they are absoloutlie unbetable on true winter hares. you should stick to chasing your mixy rabbits. and as for the dogs used before the saluki arrived on the seen the travellers stag dogs with the shaggy coats wernt in the same leage and rarley could stop a hare given in january. face facts idiots

saluki is the oldest breed of dog so i would say they used salukis yes

[hubbs 178]

The replys are excellent for me as this is the reason i posted. i did say leicester but can travel i would love to see one work can anyone help i am genuine im really trying to gain my knowlege as a lurcher man and hope people respect this, I would love to speak from expereince rather than what people say..

[dankay123 33]

I'm not saying the Saluki isn't the best for that barron terrain..... but to say it's the only type of dog that will kill a January hare there is a little far fetched......

ok a few hares will be killed by other types but the salukiand saluki xs have the stamina to do 3and 5s not many other dogs can keep the pace up

 

i owned a whippet greyhound bitch that used to do 4's regular around cheshire. she was the only bitch to catch in lincolnshire when we went up there f****d all the salukis and caught 3 in lincolnshire and i have plenty of lads to back up my statement

my mates all run salukis crosses now and i have had them but prefer the whippet greyhounds my opinion.

 

PS WHO WROTE THAT SHITE IN THAT CLIPPING ??? ALL COLLIE CROSSES ARE QUITTERS

I THINK YOUR UP IT MATE

Well I own a saluki and a deerhound/greyhound and Ive hunted them on some big open spaces and Im still waiting for the saluki to out do the other dog. Maybe when the other dog is older and slows down a bit.
