paulus 26 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I didn't figure I'd find anyone who had seen some US dogs. I'm going to sit back and be patient. Thanks for all of the comments though. I'm new to the sighthounds and it all is educational for me. after years at it, its still a education to me as are a few of the topics posted on this site :laugh: Quote Link to post
C Hall 552 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The only difference I can see between our lurchers and american stags is they favour bigger breeds all there animals look 27tts plus. Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The only difference I can see between our lurchers and american stags is they favour bigger breeds all there animals look 27tts plus. Only cuz what you see is mostly the coyote dogs. Anything much smaller than 27 inches and 75 pounds struggles all the way round when coyote huntin. The long distance runs, the staying sighted in tall grass/sage, and then having the strength and power to keep a coyote pinned down. The dogs almost have to be of the bigger type. Quote Link to post

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 One american working dog I would like to see,after what I have read about them would be the cunningham greyhound Never seen one in the flesh but they were some snappy lookin lil sumbitches in the pictures I seen. I edited to say in pictures. It was in the gazehounds and coursing book by Dutch salmon where I read about them,think there was a dog called filo 31 inch tts,that was said to have been able to stay on a jack rabbit for 3 minutes with the salukis,do you get a chance to run the rabbits dan or are you too busy sorting the coyotes out Ive that book here, page 55 theres a pic of a smoothcoated white dog called fino, 31“ and 94lbs a coldblood greyhound. Can post a pic of the page if you want? Quote Link to post

He just got him confused with the cunningham strain that he also talks about in that book which are smaller snappier type dogs with what he calls alligator jaws. Quote Link to post
