Question How Useful Is A Lure Coursing Dog

[kyboy44 11]

Just wanted to ask would you guys think a dog that was good at lure coursing could be a good fox dog the reason I ask was I thought it was a sight hound game but there was a kind of tracking dog I was looking at called a catahoul and it seems a few of them are being used for the game and are good enough to hold top rankings and I was wondering if a good one like that could have it in them to catch a fox

Ive yet to see a lure meet with a fox on the end of the line.The majority of mutts chasing a flapping rag are meeting their equal and anything in the real world would be a step to far for their true ability.
