Hand on heart the best hare killing dog i have ever seen belonged to a old hippy i knew,she lived in a buss and most on here would have laughed at her and her dog.The dog was a beddy grey type looking thing with a cocked ear, it just knew when a hare was in a field and used some amazing to watch field craft to catch them.I watched it stalk hares,flush and just turn before the hares did and they just seemed to run into it's mouth and it had some pace to get one under pressure out in the open and all done on Wiltshire flint and chalk. Got caught by land owners etc with her a few times and she just turned on the "do i look like i'm out hunting man ?" as she was a right earth mother looking woman and we always walked away with out to much hassle.....

A lurcher can take a lot of work , these lads with 4/5 runners is crazy no way are they giving them all enough work , one coming on , on worker and one nearly retired it’s the best way 2/3 dogs in there prime or coming on you can’t be giving them the work load 

you’d see how much work yours could take if you ran  a few hares on proper land  

i have. 2 runners similar age how hard are they to run out ? 

and 2 pups be having first season this year how hard is it to run older dogs get them started ?

True . I know one of the well known coursing men from my area who is mentioned in one of Darcy's coursing books never bothered with pup's but would offer lads good money for good dog's.

again mate if your matching or have high standards it could be a lot easy saving money and time this way saving 16 month a feeding shite i can see why some do it

Course it can but there’s a difference between a dog getting injured and an injury prone dog. Heard it all before if a dogs not getting injuries it’s not trying, or not getting ran enough, load of bollocks it is, seen dogs run 3/4 times a week and put loads of stuff away barely need a week off all season. These dogs can still get bad luck like a broken toe or whatever but it tends to be a one off and not a regular thing

it’s a long hard season it’s about keeping the dog bouncing the odd week they may need 5 or 6 days break

I’ve had both ends of the scale over the years mate some dogs just more durable & tougher than others, some need resting up to run at their best others just seem to power through and take the hammer

it’s about knowing the dog mate you loose a  little bit a sharpness on bunny or bambi it won’t really matter but daytime hare it’s the difference between stopping a few and blanking
