Borzoi for hunting ?

[Hendagger 1]

Oh well from the sounds of it they probably aren’t as good for rabbits as I may have thought but might manage the odd on or two. I will probably look at other breeds as well, but still like the borzoi.

I thought about getting on 20 odd years ago but was put off when a well known lurcher man & slipper told me that he slipped one at a coursing meeting with a lurcher & it ignored the hare & killed the lurcher it was running against. Also think any Borzois around now will only be pet/show stuff. Maybe wrong. Good luck with what ever you decide. Smart looking dogs. Atb

Thanks for that mate. Pretty brutal story but I think like you say most will be show dog types now.

They were once workers but were unrecognizable to modern animals.

Modern Russian ones can exercise a hare.

From 2.06 on the wolf hunting vid... The first white dog was keen enough ?

Is hare scaring a sport ???

From the vids I saw of modern borzoi "coursing" it would appear to be, at least in Russia.?
