A lot of talk about coursing and bag chasing on here at the moment. What do you consider the greater challenge to a fit whippet- lure coursing or real hare coursing??

Without doubt hare coursing hare coursing is the ULTIMATE true test for any working/coursing running dog. :thumbsup:

there is no better test than running a fit january hare or going out and giving your dog 15 runs on the lamp or a good days ferreting,they all test a good dog.all this bag chasing is good for getting your dog in shape or a bit of fun but thats all IMO.

As opposed to conjecture and opinion, I put my money where my mouth is. I have recently obtained a bitch pup with a solid hare background. My wee Candy is a Fraser whippet from a real working kennel that has based its breeding program on performance for many generations. Both parents are well proven on the ultimate quarry, the mother in particular has a well earned reputation. The subject of bag chasing was never raised,

cheers :cheers:

you would have to wonder if the two people who voted for lure coursing had ever seen a dog coursing a fit winter hare :wacko: :thumbsup:

 

[jinx and rubys mum]

Has to be the real thing (w00t)

I suppose we are lucky with Jinx she does seem to put in about 90% on the bag that she puts on the bunnies!! :- "

Nothing mechanical could ever compare to the crafty hare :thumbsup:

But we are having a great time trying!!!!! :cheers:
