A pic of a few dogs owned by London lads in the past. The white bitch was the litter sister to the great grand dam to lucky the dark destroyer i believe. The brindle bitch was a fx saluki greyhound. 

No better feeling than bringing a dog on from a pup...giving them a spin at 10/11 month old and  watching it take it's first rabbit/fox/deer etc...no drug comes close Neck😔

I run probably the worst two lurchers in Essex lol saluki bull grey I posted a pick few pages back then got deerhound greyhound x collie greyhound  they do what keeps me happy

Have you ever tried catching blue bottles with a pair of chopsticks?

No, but I can juggle three milk bottles  at the same time.

Going off topic ( pures) . Imo a lot of dogs with an abundance of stamina have the mindset to run down prey . How do the lads with pures and heavily infused animals combat that . Do you run paddocks early on ? Up here when coursing was legal of course,  my objective was not to see the saluki in a dog just know the lungs had some lining.  Same with the non ped , but know there's gears in there . I suppose creating the old time lurcher with add onns

Got me thinking this post mate even though i have never really owned a lurcher that I would have been confident on having a bet on in a match but have owned a few lurchers that could catch an hare most times they were run and due to the land I grew up around i always liked a dog with a good strike and gears and decent recovery and stamina that could put the hare in my poachers pocket though my lurchers were also lamped aswell and took other edible quarry. The first time I saw a pure run 35 years ago on some big land around Scunthorpe I thought this type of dog would not suite my needs as far as running dogs go as I was never an out and out coursing man just some one who used and ran lurchers to catch edible quarry and I thought getting and rearing an heavily bred saluki type would not have suited my needs and didn't want to take the risk though my best two hare catching dogs had saluki blood in them.

Exactly.  I think knowing it's in there . But it's not blairingly obviously.  Is the way . Unless your matching on fens week in week out . On the flip side . Could out and out fen dogs be really successful week in week out on big fields and a bit hedge land . Now before mchull jumps on me . I mean an animal that's only run fen for first 2 seasons.  ?

speed doesnt kill hares mate with a good saluki type  once they get there then they are on i prefer that saluki style a running on that open chalky land one runs like a whippet would be smashed to bits one run mate feet ruined
