desertbred 5,490 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 They can reack 53 miles per hour for short periods then run at half that for miles that means 26 mph how would they they leave any dog standing for speed and stamina a saluki will maintain 34 mph for 12/15 km.and reach 42 mph for periods. They hunt the spring horn with Dogs in N America or so I have been informed, maximum speeds and sustained effort must surely depend on terrain and weather conditions. Cheetahs can run for short periods at 70mph but game escapes and some gets caught statistics dont mean a lot in Nature Where you got that from? They can run at 43mph for 30 mins or more, no Saluki could come close to that. I read up on the Springhorn excactly the same as you did, plus I spoke to some friends who run dogs on them in America and I know Saluki,s capabilities from a life time of living with them..

Springhorn? You mean Pronghorn? I haven't seen any evidence of folk running them with sighthounds, who are these men? Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Who are these men? Men who hunt all over the Southern States ,Western and Central states of North America and Mexico with Dogs ,Guns Bows/crossbows traps and yes I meant pronghorn not spring horN Do you think the Pronghorn has no natural predators or are not hunted? They also told me that Pronghorns will lay up in tree plantations at higher levels when they leave the prairies and the most interesting fact that they very rarely jump fences for some reason.

lurcherman 887 13,414 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Wolves hunt and catch pronghorns Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 No animal is quick enough or got enough stamina to catch and kill them in a fair run. They are so fast because they used to be the prey of the now extinct American Cheetah. Quote Link to post

Of course they have natural predators but the odds have to be one sided for them to be caught. A Lion is way slower than a Gazelle and has less stamina but they still catch them on occasion. When I see evidence or hear from anyone that uses dogs to course and catch them then I'm happy to be proved wrong. Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Pronghorns are endangered in some states so licences to shoot are balloted you cant get a licence to course them so the likely hood of posted footage is remote but no doubt it goes on just as coursing does here. Lions or should I say lionesses hunt in packs as do wolves so they dont actually catch the prey with speed its more entrapment. A brown hare up hill will outrun any dog but they still get caught any form of hunting has to be one sided to get a result. 1 Quote Link to post

Your entitled to your opinion .Have you seen one run or have you seen a saluki run anything other than a hare The ladson the ground over there seem to be of a different opnion so its a difference of opinion.

slip lead 862 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 They are protected in the states now, they were poached heavily (shot) for the fur on there hind legs to make Pashmenas. They can reach speeds of 60mph with exceptional stamina. Take some dog to run them down. Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Urban peregrines live off predominantly pigeons, yet on a level flight a pigeon would smoke a falcon, you can read Internet facts all you want but unless you've been out there and done it your opinion counts for little Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'm guessing nobody on here has ran them with dogs so until I see it being done with my own eyes I'll take internet facts over talk on here. Quote Link to post
