THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 A young lad I knew when I was little had a proper coursing blooded dog crossed with a bull grey bitch We would walk it up to stuff and slip him and it was like a rifle , it would just kill it , dead , didn't matter what it was or what time of day or night if that dog got within 5 yards it would kill it Genuinely never seen a dog with a desire to get hold of stuff like it, the fact it was 27 in and could really shift maybe helped Quote Link to post

Hated foxes with a passion and served its owner well, fed and kept in coin. I never saw it run either. but apparently its offspring were equally superb. Cant remember the guys name, but the dog was called Merle. 4 Quote Link to post

Silversnake 1,099 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The best dog I ever saw run was 3/4 pure deerhound 1/4 staghound. This thing was tall,lean and had a golden shaggy coat. It could catch rabbits with ease and foxes were dispatched in a few shakes. I unfortunately never saw it on hare or deer(deer is illegal here but there is nothing I would like to see more) I did see it SMASH a few kangaroos against the owners wishes and ultimately was the dogs downfall as he couldn't stop it chasing them. When I heard he got rid of it I was devastated as this dog was something special. 3 Quote Link to post
