Do you run your own galgos in spain, how do you personally rate the hares compared to running your dogs over here obviously there's good n bad hares everywhere but in general.. Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I've never run dogs in Spain. The Spanish recon the iberian hare is better than the brown,they have 3 types out there. The ground would be rested before the competition. I reckon good hares are good any where. 3 Quote Link to post

I had 1 run on an iberian hare in Portugal wi a stray lurcher ifound ,it started off well then gen it best when the hare ran over a load of rock the dog then started harrasing someone's goats so I left the scene 3 Quote Link to post
Neal 1,896 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I've seen two Ibizan hounds in my local forest. One is very aloof. The other (I think it was an Ibizan but my memory could be at fault) was being walked by the owner's wife. She said she tried to talk him out of getting it after hearing about their poor recall. Needless to say, it ran wild and never comes back so she walks it instead. Also, more recently, met a lovely friendly sighthound which looked like a sloughi from a distance until I noticed the fully erect ears. It had a whale of a time playing with my kelpie bitch and was pretty agile and well behaved. He said it was a rescue dog from somewhere in the Med (possibly Greece). He was told it was either a pharoah or Ibizan cross but, from the research he'd done, he said he thought it looked more like a podengo. If memory serves me well it was very tall (thought difficult to judge as my kelpie is only about 19") and tan and white gay pied. Quote Link to post

Good clip sandy alot can be taken from that run, a hare will only run as fast as its pushed and those dogs are pushing her the whole way over a distance as opposed to tying her up the hare was always in control really and I have to wonder how a good saluki lurcher would have fettled, I do like the Galgorm though and take nothing away from those dogs and the hare they was there until the end and always nice to see a hare make good its escape after going over a few minutes and to then go on and add to the breeding stock..

dodger 3,261 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Like I say it's a good entertaining race and take nothing away from the dogs n hare but alot can be taken from it, the black dogs mouth is also questionable 1/2 dozen good chances he had to kill but wouldn't strike and both dogs bending wide hard ground maybe or there style Quote Link to post
