    Only seen salukis and crosses do it really, seen one collie cross run fence side etc on rabbits especially after he injured his leg. Dogfox how could a slow animal keep passing etc?

    You'd prob be better asking in the lurcher discussion section

    star shady annie(possibly?) only ones can think of, think the others im thinking of ran in Sal comps

    would be interesting to know how many salukis ran in the various single handed comps, prob totally outnumbered in all Very few pures did or get run in the big comps plenty of saluki x,s but these comps are primarily numbers on the doors rather than "coursing ability". The number of lads that actually work pures regularley is very small compared to other running dogs but to witness a pacy saluki work and course game is truly a thing to behold and that in UK is one of the reasons the saluki lovers have them certainly not for matching.I know all that lol, can only think of a few, thought someone

    Can remember Paul ogrady once had two terriers on his chat show wanting homes, he snarled at the camera "these two were forced to go ferreting" lol truly shocking bet whatever they'd been up to haunted them

    Haven't seen it, these shows are all the same, total rubbish spouted by clueless people that seem to have lived there lives in a box, they'll read any shite put in front of them, the few presenter's that are involved in fieldsports daren't admit it incase there families are threatened, the shows where they get someone for and against the quiet normal hunting fella can't get a word in because the other is always a nutty gobshite.

    Can't comment on greys and you never get the full picture watching other peoples dogs, but when I started running my first lurcher I couldn't believe the injuries/time off he got compared to the salukis
  16. Gilbey
    Exactly, the facts are that the dogs perfected over here are better than the Saluki at Hare catching.I'm not db I didn't say that, saluki lurchers are better, I'm saying if salukis were available years ago they'd prob be alot better than they are now, just the odd ones were bred off

    if the real dedicated coursing lads had just ran pures and bred best to best ect you would end up at the same place just it would take ages imo So obviously the pure Saluki was lacking something for their needs. someone's already said earlier from a different place, if coursing lads could of got pups off the toffs things "might" of been different.

    5,950 years of hunting in an environment that takes them out of their comfort zone. The first salukis came here in the 1800,s so they have done pretty well for ducks out of the desert. dont forget all the good running dogs greyhounds , salukis etc originate historically in the Middle East what would you lads have been coursing without them ?Men originated in Africa, what would you lads be doing and they not settled in the Middle East? 5,950 years of hunting in an environment that takes them out of their comfort zone.

    thanks for reply, only ever heard of people walking banks with a torch/lamp and away, did you watch plates untill dark and was that your only fishing area? Could of been fish lying above and below, sounds as risky as netting.Never found netting to be risky,easiest was to bag up,had some very big bags of fish when i was a kid.when ever you heard of lads getting caught it was always further down netting, can't mind any getting caught how I describe above.used to net for years mate,salmo (as whin would say)and sea trout,had a lot of fish,not even had a chase and sometimes i had a net out a couple
