    Go home bred saluki lurcher, if anyone starts throwing names about like Foxy, Charlie, Joe, Suzie etc then walk away, you want to know what the parents have done not dogs that’s been dead 20 years

    I’d use my own dog 100% you’ve seen every run he’s ever had, easy to think the grass is always greener especially with all the hype surrounding the big name coursing lines but truthfully most of them probably done nowhere near enough to warrant their stud fees, and if they’re not out regular how can you tell if they’re injury prone, half hearted etc? It’s a no brainer
  3. Shadow100
    Most important thing id look for is durability, most coursing stuff now looks good behind a hare on a big seed but not many can do a full season out twice a week without needing a significant amount of time off.
  4. Shadow100
    Think that sums it up well, clever dogs run clever, shit dogs stop running
  5. Shadow100
    I’m surprised how many people will put 100% in to looking after their dogs but pretend they’re happy with 50% effort back
  6. Shadow100
    Because it stands there doing nothing but it does it in a very intelligent way, so that makes it a good dog, or so I gather by reading this thread, makes me wish I’d kept the ones the jacked now because they’re the best ones really

    Some go twice a week and have good dogs that give 100% every time, and they don’t need to make excuses for them. Its not half hearted it’s just very very clever ?
  8. Shadow100
    They convince themselves it’s down to the dog being too clever, or they make up injury that isn’t there, because it’s easier than getting rid and starting again.

    Think people are mistaking lack of heart for brains
  10. Shadow100
    Far from an expert, just giving an opinion based on experience, some people would have you believe because it’s got buddy, snowy, foxy etc in its breeding it’s a class above a normal lurcher and as far as ive seen it counts for f**k all, just all hype
  11. Shadow100
    Not talking past 50 years, I’m on about now, over the past few seasons I’ve seen a good few coursing bred dogs, majority of them out of the “best of breeding” and can only think of 3 that I’d own, quality of coursing dogs is on its arse because of liars breeding litter after litter without testing anything that’s the truth
  12. Shadow100
    I think breeding best to best is a bit of a stretch, a lot of coursing dogs bred these days will be lucky to get ran once a fortnight, people will breed off stuff that’s done very little because it’s got famous names in its pedigree, a lot of them are injury prone, too steady for even medium sized land or a bit half hearted so if you don’t use the right one you could easy ruin a good line of lurchers
  13. Shadow100
    But definitely if someones out ramping a pup at 8/9 months old and it pulls up then that’s owners fault
  14. Shadow100
    15/16 months old in September

    Talk pre ban coursing for arguments sake, if you’ve got a “well bred” young dog, and you take it to the easiest hares you know early season to get it a bit of fur in its mouth, and it just runs like a heartless snail not even putting bends in, then does the same the week after, and the week after, you get it checked out it’s got no injuries, how many days do you repeat that & drive home feeling miserable because the dog doesn’t even look like killing something before you say enough is enough? Some dogs are just no good better accepting it and moving on rather than flogging a dead horse. An

    I disagree with that, fair enough dogs can improve from one season to the next but if a dogs too slow, or half hearted, in its first season it’s not going to become a fast aggressive killing machine over the space of a summer. If you’ve got something decent you'll see potential early on, you won’t have the finished article far from it but you’ll see glimpses of talent. A good owner can get the best out of a dog but he can’t put in what’s been left out at birth
  17. Shadow100
    Had it myself nothing worse, spend 18 months rearing something giving it best of everything then it doesn’t even last till November, supposed to be out of tried and tested grafters as well that’s when the lies & excuses have a knock on effect
  18. Shadow100
    Suppose if people want to keep a dog that pulls up then that’s up to them, but if they line bitches with it or sell pups off it they should tell everyone that it pulls up, how many would honestly do that?
  19. Shadow100
    Unless it’s a serious injury that means the dog physically can’t carry on then it’s a waste of kennel space, owner can justify it however they want if it makes them feel better but that’s the bottom line
  20. Shadow100
    Bred to death to line a peddlers pockets, disgusting way for a good bitch to go
  21. Shadow100
    Honestly romeo dogs got their plus points but every single one I’ve seen has bad feet, doesn’t matter where you run them, grass, plough, seed whatever, their wicks open up and get sore
  22. Shadow100
    Depends what you consider hard work don’t it, mine could run but had a bad coat, shit feet, didn’t have best of mouths & looked keen till it got a proper test then jacked. Seen good ones out of him as well but lad needs to be realistic, it’s a 6 month old pup it could be good, could be biggest bag of shit you’ve ever seen, they all look good before they’ve ran don’t they.
  23. Shadow100
    No you’ll need to feed about 5 because every time they run they get injured or bang their feet up
  24. Shadow100
    Don’t get ahead if yourself mine was fearless as a pup, as soon as it started getting any real graft it couldn’t jack quick enough
