No need to be a rude little pr*ck is there?

Im just saying the two lads hunt different quarry on different ground which runs different.

Might, quite possible, be why no one runs a saluki x or coursing type hunting foxes on the welsh hills, but a number of folk run them on Scottish moorland after deer.

As someone who does a lot of it recently said to me for the foxing on welsh hills you want either small and agile or big and thick set. Also unlikE the big Scottish game which the lads are after, you got to let the dogs hunt and find the fox with their nose, not walk your legs off till you spy them stood out in a valley, and then slip the dogs on them. Hence, most likely, the popularity of hound xs and short and stocky collie bull greys etc

So yer ....... feck off.

Well hi fellow friends much appreciated for certain individuals comments in replying to my views and chosen comments on the true bred whippet x greyhound longdog/hybrids.im now 62 and still fit as a fiddle in the 70s 80s and 90s i bred a true line of whippet x greys a longdog/hybrid that prevailed in the coursing and lamping field a true bred keen honest working merchant which instinctually  pursued its chosen quarry.W ith its very deep barreled chest and balled foot inherited from its inherited whippet sire and its long lean length of back and its lightning taderust from its greyhound dam made these particularly long dogs ideal candidates for the hunting field in so far as a purposely equipment to pursue and claim hares rabbit and fox I hunted with these superb intelligent catch dogs for 30 odd years and kept literally dozens of pages of data upon them in order to moreorless write a book on them.Over the years I've written various articles on lurcher and longdog

A moot point, depending on what country we are talking about. But no competative coursing in the UK anymore.
