Mick C. 229 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Moved to a new town in 1974. The neighbour had a lurcher that basically fed its self. Anyway three of us decided to have a walk around. We took my dog and the neighbours dog tagged along. The dogs put a hare up.Personally i would say neither dog was capable of catching a hare single handed. But what happenned next astounded me. The two dogs started circleing the hare.The dogs kept decreasing the distance between them and the hare. The hare seemed confused and unsure so stayed put.Eventually the hare made a bolt for freedom and was caught. It reminded me of indians circleing a waggon train. Amazing. Quote Link to post

Fair play, but that is in your experiance with your dogs. Now i'm not saying it happened or not, but why would someone lie? I've seen farm collies hunt like that, stalking prey. . . .

We can only draw on our own experiences mate. Yes I've seen it many time 1 dog stalking a hare but never 2. Can you imagine out with the mates, you both slip the dogs and they start circling the hare!!! Imagine having money on it lol, that would be a classic. I do think as someone else has said, maybe collie sheep dog would do this but Lurchers!!! Quote Link to post

Catcher 1 639 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 regarding hares, they should not be ran with 2 dogs. i can`t believe that people on here even consider it ! if your dog can`t catch a hare, then get a dog that can ! or leave them alone so people with proper dogs can run them. if you did that in the company i run with ,you would not be out with them again, and get yourself a very bad name. Thank god i never whent out with you.Pre-ban.Most times i allways worked two lurchers.Daytime.They had to work the hares up themself witch mean covering a log of ground So they could be a few 100 yards apart But if one was raised both soon tuned in on it.Yes one was able to take a hare itself and did so often.So if i can work two or three at the same time.Whos knows best how to work his dogs.Or maybe you just liked to lamp.
