as a rule the bitch in question is dynamite, but this season with ground being hard she isnt used to running top notch hares(fens)...i would have room in my kennel for this dog, not a problem, just been unlucky today.....giro, imho a good hare dog should be able to kill a hare anywhere, in big fens or small fields, we had a great day on them , my young dog ran 3 off the 1 slip, stopped 1st, piped 2nd then stopped 3rd, i was more than chuffed, his sister ran 3 killed 2, took the arse out of the one she missed
