Would you say the more recent dogs are better than dogs of old?

Prob the same as back in the day.

Some pure class ' some good some average and some not so good .

Probably a lot less lies and ego's back in the day ? Who knows?

It was prob more about the sport back then and less about the money and everything else that goes with it ?

Lies & egos have played a big part in ruining lurchers, you only need to watch a few of the coursing dvds to see that. 

Its now standard to charge £1000 a pup because it’s great grandmother won a few matches worlds gone mad but for as long as people keep paying it they’ll keep charging it

I have noticed on these videos the slips seem to be getting shorter, don't know what's happening there like.

I've been in the game well over 50 years, and believe me; the ego's, the lies, the exaggerations have allways been there......it's just the Internet has given the cheats, liars and braggarts a far bigger audience !

Cheers.

that's always been the same, a hare don't run till the dogs on it, and on small land you cant give huge slips, but on big land if the dog pulls it goes.

[juckler123 707]

At the moment your not wrong

I ran dogs all year round when I was younger didn't have much choice to be fair if I wanted coin or food and they adjusted to the ground easily

Got to say I'm.bot breed blind am loving what I've seen of the galgos on YouTube I know the Spanish aren't soft and will cull hard which is how great hounds are bred as you know pal

Would like to see them singlehanded more the history of them.tells me they would herd but what I see the n them more than anything is aggression combined with speed and stay

That definitely is more than admirable  really hope you have loads of fun with the youngster and I look forward to future posts on his upbringing thanks loads for contributing to this thread please keep doing so

Both you and shadow are spot on lies egos early season videos and coin along with kickups

It's all about ego and wonga pups gifted to mates should be the way forward not money better a pup in a good knowledgeable home than a fistful of cash
