We went that far becuase we had heard there was a rabbit plauge!..lol...there was rabbit sign everyhere, but it was a still, moonlite night, and what with about 50 different predators out for rabbits, they dont like being out on them nights!..lol...the snow was about 3" deep in the deepest parts, and none what so ever for acres and acres.

 

We had LOADS more rabbits local to us...if you want to run your dogs across quartz and rock...you had to choose you area carefully...the local dry lake beds was best for coursing!

 

The brindle bitch is roughly Staghound X Greyhound (supposdly!!!) and the rough brindle male is pure Staghound.

 

The hare coursing is fairly popular over here, as is the coyote hunting...not many people use there dogs AS lurchers though, they usulay try to stick to one quarry and breed/hunt for that...im not fussy mind you.."Owt [bANNED TEXT] 'air on it!"...lol.

Seriously, i have never seen feet on running dogs like the feet on these dogs...the wifes bitch does/has suffered..but she is mostly Greyhound...the Staghounds have feet, imo, tougher than a collie/greys...they are big dogs, my bitch is 31", the male 29"...apart from skinned stoppers, and a few nicks and grazes, they came through the rough sw desert ok...of course theres cactus, which is horrible stuff...dont seem to bother the dogs while they run, but it is the devil to get out...sometimes get as many as 30+ spines in each foot...i avoid it if i can...
