    I have had some decent, dogs in the past, each one had some thing to give, ((( and some not so good, but patience is a virtue, in my young days I wanted instant coffee, push the button, and it was made, but dogs dont work that way, from the time you get your pup, the schooling begins, Bonding, making that bond, simple commands, recall, and so on, and when your young and inexperienced, you thing your young sappling, at 12 months should be able to do his job, and do it like a champion, but again he/or she, is only learning there craft, balance, strike, running clever, by boxing in, kee

    they were a good cross, we used to breed 3/4 grey 1/4 collie, with a 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound, out of litter of 7 you might get 3 good enough for the Hare, the rest was for rabbit dogs, maybe a bit more, and most had rough coats, good hard dogs, it was a common breed in the 60s a bitch pup out of that mating, and later on about 4 years I put a grey/whippet, over the bitch, then I was on the money that bitch took hares, rabbit, deer, pheasant, all daylight, when you could walk land in peace, No mobil phones, No Internet, the dogs, done the talking in the field, were it all mattered, back in

    They look nice clean strong healthy pups. do it your way, they are thriving thats the main thing about it, we all have our own ideas, of rearing and feeding pups,(((( but they do need protien as we all KNOW,

  11. border lad
    you have done a good job with him, he will soon find his balance, and pick a rabbit or two up, and he is in a very good home "most important,"

    A very nice pup well reared, the mother had been taken good care of well done, In my Opinion, you have to out breed and add some pace into that breeding, Question, how many Pups have been bred from that lineage?? and how many pups have made succesful running dogs?? I know in some litters you may only get 3 out of a litter to make the grade, sometimes duck-eggs, and then once in a while a champion arises, only a question??? (((( not a WAR, cheers,

    A nice hardy type of jukel, thats what its all about you and your dog, enjoy your times, Phil said it straight, its not about numbers, enjoy seeing a good dog work, and the wonder, How did he manage that one,you give him 100% and he will give you more in return,

    strange old world we live in now, in days gone by a dog that bit a child, would be put to sleep, thats when we used to pay 7/6 pence = 7shillings and sixpence for a dog licence, 37and and half pence , kept dogs all my days, iwould not keep a lurcher, that would bite a child, yard dog is different they there to protect your property, but you can be in serious trouble if it worries a child, after all a dog is only a dog, for Fsake, as said if it was your little girl, You would destroy the useless thing, get a grip lads for Fsake, give your heids a shake,

    my opinion why the buck rises first, is probably, he feels he is the strongest of the two, he will probably do a couple of hops, stretch the ole back leg, and then lay his ears flat on his back then you know were going to have a decent run here, ((( last year my dog, got onto one these good Hares by accident, I was walking a a right away, the Hare took him 3 good fields, twisting turning, but on every bend the hare was pulling 5 to 10 yards from him, I dont know how many bends was put into him I lost count, but in the end the Hare was running away from my dog,into a wood and gone my dog f

    the dog done that feat just over the hour, you see Lads, there was some good dogs knocking about in those days, you would get a pup for a fiver in those days, or most likely for free, Again as stated, (((( the man who owns Scouser, will tell you, the story,

    I gave you my answer,I could leave my house and within 5 minutes my dog could have a course, not always a catch, some days better than others, it was very disappionting when you returned empty handed, and other times I was smilling from ear to ear, the best day one of my dogs had was 7/7 on just over the hour, and not a drop of saluki blood in that particular dog, he was the only dog I have witnessed to do 7/7 on that land and carry each trophy back to my hand, that was back in the early 70s,today I keep two saluki x and they could not do that feat,

    the amount of Buck Hares my dogs killed over the years, from 1958 to the ban, usually around 6to 7lb weight, maybe the Scottish Hare is more gallant, like Brave heart,lol, it seems to some lads, that coursing only started when the Saluki blood come into the country, in the early 70s
  25. border lad
    my experience, the Hares use the same seats, for genarations, of time, and again, 9 times out of 10, the Buck Hare Rises first, when there clapped close to each other, stretches the ole back leg, lays the Ears flat on his back, ((( and says catch me if you can! now to put the cat amongst the pidgeons, the so called experts of the coursing world, say the Fen Hare is the strongest, (((( my opinion, when coursing was legal, the Hare, around the area, were the Scottish national coursing club held its meetings, supported a very good Hare, the average field, is only about 20to 30 acres in size, s
