  1. Thanks) not many pics there as I usually go hunting alone and riding a horse no no chance to make pics)))
  2. shame on me, you are totally right, found it on one website where they said it is in Italia and I did not watch whole video.. so Spain - they hunt with sighthounds there somehow, Argentina - looks like yes too, wonder now about Italy - it is allowed there or not
  3. So it looks like it is mainly English-speaking countries (UK, Ireland, US, Australia) + Czech Republic and Slovakia and Lebanon. I wonder why it is not like that in other countries. At least in EU. Is it cos it is for protecting wildlife? But hunting with guns is not banned in same countries where hunting with dogs is banned. There should be some logic behind it, right?
  4. right, when you see the dogs running it is like the soul flies with them.. well, finishing the boar with knife does not sound too terrible as long dogs hold the boar tight, but with foxes and hares it is way more simple for hunter)
  5. Thanks a lot! I checked vids - it is pretty cool and idea of armor for boardogs is brilliant and seems to be obvious - after you've seen it. Not sure if my dogs would be able to hunt like that though. They catch and choke the beast, not like catch and hold it till hunter arrives to finish it. And to choke the boar...do not know)
  6. almost no(. too cold, too little food, too many predators. there were few attempts to domesticate some wild rabbits from Poland or so in 1960s but results were pretty modest and no more tries happened
  7. thanks for info! oh, cool! plenty is allowed! hmm, pigs hunting never tried..while we have a lot wild pigs here.. do you have any video of how this happens? deers we can hunt, actually we can hunt everything as long it is in the allowed time and it does not belong to endangered species, but the woods are not very populated(
  8. Well, in Tver area where we live in it is not as cool as on the south, where are steppe vast areas and miles and miles of fields. Fields here are like 200-300 acres, not bigger, so it think in UK you have more space for hunting, honestly. And you also have rabbits!
  9. Yep! it looks 100% lurcher-like :))) they are very nice and friendly with owner and whole family, significantly less arrogant than borzois))) after all, borzois were dogs of aristocracy and khortiy helped farmers families to survive in hard times
  10. Both borzoi and khortiy are very cool from my perspective! that's why i got a litter from borzoi female and khortiy male!
  11. luckily - no! we had seen wolves from pretty far away 2 times, like 500 meters, and it was not a pack, just 1 wolf. And no bears. If you live there you pretty quickly come to know where are the areas with too strong and dangerous beasts. And if with 1 wolf 3-4 well trained dogs may have a good chance even to hunt it down, with bear only chance is to avoid meeting it by all the means.
  12. Well, bears also) thanks God - no tigers, at least in our areas, while definitely "yes" about wolves. Lot of them here last and these year. Local authorities even allowed to hunt for them without buying special license after the pack was hunting the elk in 500 m from the village in the daylight..
  13. you are absolutely right, khortiy have lot of Saluki and others Middle East dogs bloods in the breed) dogs on pic are not littermates, but color is very similar, it is true) while black borzois are not very common, while for khortiy it is kind of every second dog is like that)
  14. Thank you! We hunt mainly hares and foxes) if very lucky - can run after deers (not too many in the woods here nowadays, alas) Khortiy is mixture of local dogs + brought in Asian hounds like Saukii, Tazy etc. They are slightly less quick on short distance than borzoi but has higher stamina and can run for many kilometers in good speed and have strong hunting instincts. Here is the photo - khortiy (left dog).
  15. Hi guys! I'm quite new here, live in Russia in rural area where can hunt, having 3 working dogs - 2 borzois, 1 khortiy (lurcher-like Russian breed not acknowledged internationally as breed), and now 9 puppies of working lines too. I wonder what are the countries besides of US, Ireland and UK where lurchers and fast running dogs are popular? I assume it should be the same ones where the hunting with fast running dogs is not prohibited, right?
