Skittles 3 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Define an irish greyhound? Quite allot were used for coarsing but your forever putting toes in as the fast turns of direction isnt for a greyhound. Quote Link to post

Moorside 642 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Its hard to define I assumed they were used for coursing rather than on the track Quote Link to post
Skittles 3 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 My uncle trained and raced greyhounds, those for coursing were always heavier and not as flat as a track racers. Again ill mention toes, if you want to use a greyhound learn how to push them in as jammed toes are regular. Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,055 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Loosely speaking there are two types of Irish greyhound. The track dogs are the same as English track dogs. Because most coursing here is "Park" coursing, the coursing hounds are usually a bit taller and bred to go fast in a straight line. There is nothing to replace the English coursing greyhound which has been mostly lost since the ban. They were reckoned by many to be the best for lurcher breeding. 1 Quote Link to post
