Welcome Topdog.
Where about in the UK did you live?
There are a heap more hares to get stuck into over here. Don't know anyone with suitable dogs here, but I used to enjoy getting out with friends and their dogs back home for a mooch about.

Hi Matt2308 I came from up North of Newcastle in a place called Ashington, there's been tremendous hare coursing dogs up there for over 80 years now, its from the old mining town days where there were lots of poachers. I'm looking at bringing dogs in and breeding my own as I'm struggling to get anything at all. I was at a lurcher show the other week and not one dog was worked "everything had flat feet so I'm not sure if they were walked let alone worked". Ample hares where I'm living if I get sorted one day I'll give you a shout if you fancy some good old fashioned coursing.

Matt, A good mate has just bred some Lurchers for me. As you know there's no breeding stock over here so they won't be world beaters but should course. The breeding line from these pups I'll probably put to a Greyhound or Saluki then that's it job done. You know anyone who'd be interested in pups.

Cheers
