    Private events we did the organised coursing bit, then, went for numbers, one dog one hare a deerhound bitch I had Becky got 14 one day, thats the best Ive done with a deerhound On organised coursing events, a professional/semi professional slipper was always used, and judges too. Alan Wilkinson was probably the best Ive seen as a slipper, A slippers job on blue hares, on heather is one hell of a job, getting the dogs both sighted, two pretty large dogs pulling you over heather it is difficult, on one even on the borders the judge asked for longer slips three times till the hares were qu

    Ive only ever ran one first cross deerhound x greyhound on the moors on blue hares, took them with contemptious ease, but sometimes this cross can run with a lot of yest, they can be very committed especially on the strike, well at least the ones Ive seen have, and I got the best out of this bitch when she settled down..bigger dogs taking tumbles, even on heather aint a good thing Hope you get what you need, and apart from the moors there are usually very good rabbiting places bordering onto most moors, and so you can run the dog all day on hares, then have some sport the same night on bunnie

    All the dogs we took up to work on moors, both on the borders and in Aberdeenshire did well..and these ranged from 23inch to 26 inch lurchers, mainly deerhound blooded crosses with a bit of collie in them, never been able to sicken them, bigger dogs by dint of the way they are designed will have the legginess to cope with the varying lengths of heather, especially the deeper stuff...smaller dogs (if they are the right dogs) will adapt

    Any particular subject Ian?

    Great stuff, we are out tonight with a few young`ins Off to Scotland, and freedom

    Ran all my dogs on all terrains including a vast amount of graft on moors, seen some little whippiety type dogs get a bit bogged down a bit, and a couple of times seen them carried off the moors, these moors are energy sappling, I would be working out yourself if I were you, get ready for the back of your legs to be aching, forget about the dogs, they should be ok
