Do you think them stronger more muscular dogs are better in the heavy going as they have got that bit more strength to power through it or does the lighter built ones just skim over it easier as there not as heavy, this could be a question for green lurchers what do you rekon about the slop skimmers lol

I’d say wider chest dogs better in heavy, do you think the hares just skim over the top because there so light, I’m sure we have been here before lol, don’t think there is any need for another slop skim debate haha

 

I think it depends on the individual dog.

Two of the best 'lurchers' as opposed to Longdogs, that I've seen over the years, was my ex brother in law's whippet/greyhound x bedlington, 20.5" tts and 31 lbs in weight, used to catch a good number of hares on all types of ground, and would, as you say, practically float over heavy/boggy ground.

Not real coursing, but mooching daytime,  lamping etc.

And my old dog, sired by Hancock's Taffy and out of an exceptionally fast greyhoundy mongrel lurcher.

My dog was 26" tts and just about 80lbs. Again, not coursing, as such, but daytime mooching, lamping etc.

And again, like you said, would power through heavy/boggy ground.

And before you ask, no, I never fed my dog pasta! Lol

Yea like you say I think it just depends on the individual dog tbh theres no hard and fast rule to it

      Hi lads what's the best think I can do to heal this cut on my dogs paw

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea
