some dogs if hurt young can recover as they grow into it others as older well get hamperd after a hard nite or if the grounds baked and dry ,most good coursing hunting dogs have a stile and are pretty well balanced for the game in hand especaily if they do alot of running , deformities etc well get found out if the qaurries testing at times ,found the nearer to the greyhound up my way the more feet problems wristy etc , if out a lot ,and heavy dogs seem to take a bit of a pounding as there carrying alot more muscle ,and weight ,its a hard game to breed dogs to have pace good feet stamina for l

any decent bred saluki cross will cacth a rabbit lamping, during the day its hit and miss as well rabbs unless not disturbed will be flighty , had coursing type saluks cross bitches will cacth for fun on lamp and can catch bolting rabbs to ,there atheltes a rabbit shouldnt me to much of a prob once they catch on whats asked ,the real good saluk lurchers are very versatile as thye have been bred for years without terreir collie so most are pacy ,over space of a few season caut more with saluki cross lurcher than i did with whippet grew as you could run her any were feet like iron stamina and a

simo handy lookin alsaitions them ,andy ray was up here he ran his dog had a ball and saw diffrent type of all round dogs that catch were ever they go , these collie fied dogs up here there no good ,and if you just breed a dog for a certain area well your cutting your chances down ,we had dogs simliar to you in the eighties but once the good coursing dogs came about or running dogs well ,you never go back still got collie crosses but pacy fechers , i can see the piont of don, to breed off and ferreting a bit lamping , my mate one 2 feild trail with a collie lurcher looked like a fast colie mag

we had the collie type years ago andy but couldnt hack it mate on hare after hare in the day or nite driving stubble after stubble thats why we put the finest coursing dogs to good collie crosses ,and the less collie the better eighth, more chance of mugging hares on lamp early doors ,get them jan feb even in lamp mate after they have had a birl or two you need a real handy dog andy i mean bring a dog in winter youll see and if they do well im the first one to shake mans hand as the seasom moves on the game gets more wiser but more sporting ,we run single handed as yo get cleaner kills etc bes
