Late 80s mick . Near enough 3/4 . Bred down off torr oh dartmoor.  Never seen stamina like it . Admittedly she was a freak.  Plenty seen her . Had to give her a run to settle her . But run as many as you liked and bigger land the better . Useless in thick cover . But that bitch woulda shocked you to the soles of your dunlops

I'd agree, but I wouldn't say they would be quicker than a 3/4 greyhound like some claim, but, it doesn't matter, the only thing that really matters is if they catch.

In general mick . A heavily bred grehound dog on good going will get to a hare first . Scottish and Irish lads relied on grehound blood for a reason.  To get to its prey before cover . Now, heavily influenced saluki bred dogs generally have more steam . Hence the match men wanting best of 5 , putting them at an advantage . Why change ? . Horses for courses brother.

a fast lurcher on the land is as quick as a grey getting to stuff mate i’d agree good going the grey loves and is fast but so do some coursing breds like greys they can’t bend them in the wet a pure grey won’t they can’t get a bend in on the slop on a strong un ive seen it 

best a 5 takes a better dog i’d say best a 3 your still neck and neck best a 5 no hiding all will be told

Nah [BANNED TEXT] . People changed the rules to accommodate more stamina . A good 3/3 regular dog far outweighs a plough lizard

i agree mate them plough dogs no good to me you need a dog can run plough like but im with you need speed for the seed and ones  have gears up and down 

but if your running top dogs and picking slips 3 won’t seperate you 5 will i think

Sorry bro . Disagree.  Look at the comps lately.  Dogs winning comp and 4 hares killed and won them it through an entire comp . . Question mick . Why did sanky and nuttal not run 5 . They did on occasion.  But for fitness.  Every dog will cock . Some quicker than others if pushed . Poor poor dog men out there . If you know what you've got in your kennel . You know what you've got in your kennel
