I had one as a youngster , coursing bred and brought up as a lurcher, fast but worked field and fell with terriers and ferrets . Lamped, jumped like a gazelle and retrieved. Was almost disembowelled jumping a fence and landed on wire but stitched back together.
Hated foxes with a passion and smashed into them but retrieved rabbit live to hand . Still miss him as we had some good years. Unreal drive .
