In speed I think so, but it's their fabled stamina that I'd like to see put to the test, some of the claims seem impossible, but, you never know until you try it.

I think mC should take white death over for a trip,I would go over if he did,I think pronghorn can really shift.

No need, the best quarry is all within a 20 mile radius.

I remember the American woman bringing over this little greyhound bitch for the last Waterloo Cup, Cashells Evening,

Only around 24” and 45lb, it put up a great show against the British dogs, winning a few rounds.

Cheers.

I wonder if she ran it on jackrabbits?I saw one run across a road the other week,don't know how they compare to brit hares speedwise though.

I can't see why they would be any slower at their base species level, but as we know, you take a brown hare in regions that never get run and it won't be close to the quality of hares that are run often with dogs.

I would guess so, it certainly ran like it had done a bit of coursing.

”Jackrabbit” is a bit of a misnomer, as they are hares. Americans call their rabbits “cottontails “.

There's 6 species of hare in the US as well.

"I want to run against mC's dog!"

"No, I've got first dibs on white death" 

"Pow, Bam, Boff!"

I have seen hundreds of whitetail the last month,as well as mule deer and elk,I wouldn't mind seeing a saluki on a speed goat,I think the pronghorn would smoke it though.

Lucky to see all that on your travels mate but they don't look all that do they but in saying that looking at a pronghorn I wouldn't have thought they'd clock 60

There was a Brit,on here years ago or moochers can’t remember which,he was a welder I think?Married an American lady,and I think he took a lurcher stateside with him?He used to knock them over with the dog,I don’t think they run at super speeds.

Out of likes

I can't see them being overly rapid, but like anything, if you slip on em at a good enough distance and on terrain they love they can sometimes make dogs look silly. I've seen a red stag leave bull crosses slipped on it for dust, it was clearing ditches like they were nothing, just galloped like a horse in to the nearest wood. I've said it before, I'd love to see a good saluki on a pronghorn, and see if the rumours about their running prowess are actually true.

I remember that waterloo charts me and my pal was on the bank at the time thinking that can hang on and run tighter than your average greyhound..
