Anyone who says they have not had or seen a dog straight lined, has not got the experience to voice an opinion worth listening to.

Definitely, although In fairness they can occasionally nail them when hunting up and they are so close the hare is turning straight away. Apart from that, the usual form is one turn and then the hare puts the afterburners on

To be fair, it was the only collie/grey I’ve had, and the saying “couldn’t catch a rabbit in a ‘phone box” could have been written for it.

It was that bad I can’t even remember it’s name or what happened to it !

But I have seen a few decent ones, including, believe it or not, Hancock bred ! 
Cheers.

Was at a coursing event and watched two coursing types get left for dust...

[tatsblisters 7,950]

A pure saluki a lad from Doncaster had one of the reasons he would always course on big land. Once saw a good coursing bitch out of the merlin and eve blood that ran good on Crowland get straight lined to a big pine wood at Tickhill near Doncaster as well as some of my dogs at the time . I have never seen hares as fast on this land due to them being run regular and the land having small coppices and turf fields dotted about.

Agreed, and this will happen far more regularly if you own bull crosses……

 

Only joking, can’t wait till @mC HULL see’s this
