    It depends what you class as coursing. Coursing to me is hunting hares, on here, it seems to be only coursing if its on the fens. So for me a coursing dog needs as much brains as any other hunting dog. Now if you were to ask me does a coursing owner on the fens need brains :laugh:

    what you do to me , is hunting not coursing. Coursing is just seeing how the dog runs. Hunting is catching it as quick as possible. Imo lol

    Why is there a time limit on it? Many saluki blooded dogs will not attempt a strike until they have got a hare under control, , and they have "lined it up". How many times did you see Lucky strike, and miss overshooting in the process.? Virtually never .

    All right he was an extreme example , being particularly canny behind his game. but the inherent boxing ability is a saluki trait, running just fast enough to keep the hare under pressure, easing off when the hare is out in the open , stepping up a gear to get between it and cover. I find this as riveting as the" up and at em", style . Its what's in the bag at the end of the day that matters.imo. I do agree with your definition though, what Baw describes is hunting , not coursing.

    first of all to first reply. i didn say you can teach a dog, i said most if shown enough qurry will learn, so il take it your post was a long winded agree lol

    secondly, i didnt say there was a time limit, but prefer a dog to catch asap. just my opinion. find it more exciting with a fast chase rather than a drawn out chase. like i said coursing and hunting imo is different. same as foxing with hounds. its not effective. a rifle is , secondly it would be a lurcher. but hounds are used for sport. ssaluki or coursing bred dogs are also used to see how well they can course the hare, catching is irrelevant.

    actually, i said "ANY" , when i actually ment most, so il admit in wrong doing lol the first for THL???

  4. I think we can all agree that a lurcher needs a balance of brain and physical attributes? Does the same apply to an out and out coursing dog? Does the coursing dog just need physical attributes, pace, stamina etc:

     

    A lot was said many years ago about coursing greys "running cunning" where one dog would let the other make a turn then sweep in to make the kill. A dog that would do that would lose the course.

     

    Opinions please.

    I think if a dog was running cunning, that was the end of his coursing career ...I think. Great for hunting obviously, but not for coursing. That's why salukis do so well, thick as shit in they lol .. serious though any dog that is run on quarry will soon learn that flat out ain't always good. Even greyhounds who get knocked for being too fast, and can't learn to deal with lurcher work...if you listen to 90% of people on here. Even they learn that to catch it, to hang back and know when to strike...instead of overshooting it.

    I didnt say u had it sus I was just askin if u was 1 of them types as didnt say how long u ran em for when he asked that all

    I am one of them types.

     

    I'm also a keyboard hunter. Never leave the house. My dogs couldn't catch a cold. Never seen any game. My ferret is just a pet and my locator is just for show.

     

    I go loads of game fairs though :laugh:

    still didnt answer how long u been in game for just usual divert drivel. Little bird whispered that u only been in game 3yr but sure not [bANNED TEXT] way you chat?
    Don't you worry yourself chief. Get yourself out there and put some gear in your own game bag instead of worrying about me :thumbs:
    I do more then enough thanks so is it 3 yrs then ???
    More like 3 weeks really :thumbs:
    it gotta be longer than three years, as he had two salukixs he said. And he had one or two other dogs. I think init gaz?

    U been on the sauce mate I think 95% of saluki x will be faster then a gsd x and especially malamute x and tbh I be happy to throw a lot of coin to prove it aswell

    I don't agree with much you say of late but your spot on here.

     

    The fella is crackers. I will pay good money and assist with transport anywhere in the country to see one of these dogs match a saluki/greyhound.

     

    I'm not kennel blind and aren't a big saluki fan, despite having 2 in the past. I probably wouldn't have another. But you can't take away from them what they are good at!

    f*****g sulking bags of shite that attract f*****g wankers fullstop.
    hahaha

    f****n hell, people just take it the totally opposite to what's being said. Paul u said you worked with greyhounds for years. You should know more than anyone , that a greyhound is like a flick of a switch, and as Dan says they are very cagey. We not on about a dog that could pull a train, and look all beefy. Just a dog, pure muscle, very little fat, extremely fast with a short fuse. Is going to be powerful.

    especially 80lb of the f****r
