Guest Rey Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thought you guys might like to see where I hunt in America. This area is full of blacktail jackrabbits and it is mostly goverment land. There are a lot of Golden Eagles in this area and that makes it harder to get the hares out into the open. http://personal.palouse.net/valeska/gv-march-06.html Rey "The world, unfortunately, rarely matches our hopes and consistently refuses to behave in a reasonable manner." - Stephen Jay Gould Rey and Yvonne McGehee Valeska Borzoi http://personal.palouse.net/valeska Quote Link to post
Guest Rey Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Looks absolutely fabulous hunting country,i'm showing my ignorance a little here but how do the Borzoi compare to say a Saluki in the running of game,ie: speed,stamina and determination.Cheers Andy. A good Borzoi, bred for running, and there are not too many of them, should be faster than a Saluki but with less stamina. The Borzoi is a bit slower than the greyhound but with more stamina. I think of the Borzoi as kind of between a Saluki and a grey. They should be good hare dogs in a larger area and they should be good for some larger game. Rey Quote Link to post

Do you ever run into Coyotes with the Borzois mate?...always wondered how they would fair against toothed quarry?...beautiful dogs mate. Kye,.. No, it's Idaho. We run coyotes with our dogs and they do well on them. I have a older male that was very good in his prime. He took 2 coyotes single handed. We have many coyotes just around our house, yesterday I saw a large male coyote about 1/2 mile from the house. He was too close to a busy road to let the dogs go on him so he just trotted off.

Kye 77 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Idaho, Wyoming,..same thing!..lol...they sure look alike!...quite like the places me and FR looked like when we hunted there.. Nice to see someone keeping the breed alive...always liked them, but i wouldnt be keen on paying for a pure bred, and having to get rid if it didnt make the grade...Idaho seems like a nice place to live/hunt.. Well Rey, keep up the good work, and i hope you have many happy years hunting them beautiful dogs!.. Kye,.. Quote Link to post
