Helps with them turning

Bigger ears = more stamina, like fox hounds, salukis , beagles ect, weird int it don’t know if it’s just me but when I see any breed of dog with big dropped ears I think they have got plenty of stamina, but little rose bud ears like a greyhound no stamina

Well it’s funny that them breeds I mentioned have all got great stamina, it’s always baffled me how them little beagles can catch hares, they just run the c**t out of them over about half an hour, I’ve always wanted to watch a beagle pack at work but never had the chance, I’ve heard they are better run on land where there is not too many hares so they can just get on the scent of one and stick to that, if there is too many hares about they keep getting onto fresh hares and don’t stay on the same hare long enough to wear them down

There may be something in what you say, MAY BE ! I don’t know, I’m just guessing.

It’s a fact big ears dissapate the heat in the blood by having the veins near the skins surface and covering more area.

Would this help animals that run long distances and need stamina to catch their quarry ? Possibly.

Dogs with “rosebud” ears, like whippets and greyhounds rely on relatively short bursts of tremendous speed and acceleration so MAYBE don’t need to dissapate quite as much heat ?

Who knows, I’m just speculating.

As for beagles, a lad I went to school with was Master of Newcastle College beagles years ago and I followed  them a few times.

You had to be fit to keep up with the action, but if you could find a high vantage point you could see most of the hunt as hares tended to run in big circles. 
I’ve got the videos of “Jacks Game” and one is about beagling, a very good watch.

Cheers.

I was waiting for you to reply as I thought you may of seen them, did you ever see them beagles catch a hare ? They must run down to walking pace

Yeah, they wear them down and the hare resorts to running in tighter and tighter circles and is basically swamped by the hounds.

I haven’t seen a lot killed but that the impression I got. More experienced beaglers may have a different view

Cheers.
