I like gangly,nice tall loose dog,...his type would be something I like,...the muscle is down to not being brought on right,I just think something similar in height and form could be a good all rounder,...what exactly is short coupled?

A short coupled coursing dog can put blisters on your eyes watching them turn it up like a hurricane

These are short coupled

In plain English...a short dog,no length of back?

Myxi and RVHD  in Spain,  some ares suffered badly. They have commercial hare breeders out there so they can restock  for a price. It was worse couple of years ago. Many grounds closed for a couple of seasons to allow them to recover.  I know one breeder handed in all his dogs to a rescue, a well bred line, because his clubs ground is closed again next year. 6 or 7 hounds, studs and pregnant bitches. Old fella with a lot of experience  but sees no future,  shame. 

Thats a shame. Ive watched a fair bit on youtube. I know they have really good feet but how do they go in Britain, in our type of fields? do they have early pace?

I wouldn't say teeth though old bitch bumped in to a couple to good effect. Can track the odd bit.

I think I better stick to my original plan and wait for a 1st X saluki greyhound or as close as maybe
