    No just jacks, although my old dog took one with a deerhound/greyhound I used to have years ago. The brothers to my dogs have taken coyote once. My mate was flying the brother to my gyr/prairie hybrid, the bird took off after a coyote and the dogs joined in. The bird hit the coyote in the head a couple of times then everyone grabbed hold, end of mr coyote! Where abouts in the states are you and what are you running? all the best Terence

    The aussie/grey is 9 the tazi cross is 3. The old dog needed help to get through the season he was very sore at the start of the season he would run a hare for a couple of hundred feet then break off. I started treating him with condritin and glucosamin and after a few weeks he was running strong again. I think mainly his feet were getting arthritic, he has a couple of toes that are swollen. All in all he has been a very sound dog over the years but years of work have taken their toll. He has run 4 to 5 days a week for 6 months of the year all his life. Percy has been the backbone of my team f

    Nice dogs, this is a cross I really like. Tough smart dogs that can run forever, built like a saluki, thinks like a collie and runs like a greyhound. This is a pic of my 1/2Tazi, 1/4collie, 1/4greyhound weighs about 44lb very fast dog. She is pregnant right now should have pups in May. Covered by my australian shepherd/greyhound. If any American coursers out there I should have a few pups available.

    Hi again Mark, It's nice to be on site where everyone hunts. The american sites have too many biddies talking about the best costume for their greyhound for my taste. lol all the best Dirtwinger

    Lot of questions there Skycat but here goes. The dogs I have were all raised with the birds except one. Generally it is easier to get the dogs running before the bird starts hunting with them. As to things going wrong I have never had a bird hurt by the dogs although the birds will put the boot in on the dogs if they feel the dogs are getting in the way. The birds hit the hare all the time as the dogs are trying for a strike, usually the falcon hits the hare and rolls it and the dogs grab it then the falcon comes down. My gyr/prairie likes to lift the hares 2ft into the air and drop them in

    Percy has been a great dog but he will be 10 this year. So this was his last hunting season. Here is a vid of him and Gobi my Tazi cross taking a jack.

    Agree with some of the lads here I prefer a shorter course. I'm not a fan of watching salukis dissapear into the distance and coming back ten minutes later. I like my dogs to put pressure on early and get the hare turning. Coursing is a visual sport and I want to be able to see it. Plus hunting in the desert like I do there is a greater chance of dogs overheating on the long runs. Dogs that can do the long long runs are impressive in their way just not for me. all the best Dirtwinger

    Hi all just joined the forum. I'm from the UK but live in New Mexico. This is a pic of my Australian shepherd/greyhound and one of my falcons coursing a whitetailed jackrabbit in Colarado. I love the collie type crosses bred this boy myself. Right now I have a litter on the way with this dog and my 1/2tazi 1/4greyhound 1/4 collie due in may. The bitch is out of a imported hancock dog and a imported Kazak Tazi.

    Hi all, Just joined the forum I am English but live in New Mexico. I hunt hares with lurchers and falcons as a team. From time to time I fly other raptors and hunt other quarry. Looking forward to getting to know other hunting enthusiasts. all the best Dirtwinger
