Yes, they were bred to run things down and tear them to shreds and break their spines. All the sighthounds were bred to do that, pardoning the really tiny ones which were bred down to be ladies' companions. Scottish Deerhounds were bred to run down deer. Borzoi and Irish Wolfhounds were set on wolves. Whippets coursed rabbits, as did Ibizan hounds. Salukis coursed jackals and gazelle. Greyhounds chased deer, foxes, and rabbits. It was a different form of bloodsport than the pit fighting most people think of when they think of vicious canine bloodsports, but it was no less a bloodsport. |

Lots of guys run dogs for Coyotes. Not sure what breed, but a pack of dogs vs. a lone yote is a losing game for the yote. Most guys have 3-4 squads of dogs and will keep rotating them out and eventually they wear out the yote until it gives up running.

There was never any illusion of the fox surviving; it was going to get ripped to shreds. Just a matter of when and where and how good a chase it led them on first. |

Most guys have 3-4 squads of dogs and will keep rotating them out and eventually they wear out the yote until it gives up running. Typically here, they're "Lurchers", which is a greyhound crossbred with one of the working or hunting dog breeds: http://www.minnesotagreyhoundrescue.org/about-greyhounds/what-is-a-lurcher.html My ex-racer male GH wouldn't have the stamina to keep up with those guys for very long. When I have taken him along for one of my runs, he'll start turning in front of me after the 1/4 mile mark, because he knows his run is only supposed to be 660 yards long, and there are couches in risk of floating away, if he doesn't hold them down. |

Wow. That is pretty cool. Normally I'm all about "ethical" hunting, but it appears that the dogs took down those coyotes quickly and relatively cleanly. This method seems really effective as coyotes can be very elusive and hard to hunt otherwise.

I had no idea greyhounds were so redneck. Almost as eye-opening as seeing someone with a standard Poodle, in full froo-froo Poodle hairstyle, turn the dog loose to run down a deer. I had never thought of a Poodle being that active of a hunting dog, but you'd have thought the dog was a regular deerhound. And when he was playing you'd think he was a black Lab. Learned a lot about Poodles that day, just like this video teaches a lot about Greyhounds. |

The kills are probably fairly quick,
I've had both whippets and greyhounds, when they close with whatever they are chasing they reach out and grab the lower third of the target neck, dip their head under and roll the preys neck up and over their head Basically they use momentum and mechanical advantage to break the ever loving hell out of whatever animals neck they can get a hold of If you watch them play with decent sized dog toys they do the same thing. Grab neck, flip head and roll. |

That you wouldn't race / hunt the dog, correct? There is a prominent anti-racing faction within the groups I'm affiliated with, but without the demand the racing community creates, the supply of retired dogs also wouldn't be there. One of the local groups here has been getting greyhounds from South Korea and Ireland, in addition to dogs from racing kennels in the states. |

Ive seen the videos of the big Black Mouth Curs taking on coyotes but they're built like tanks compared to the greyhounds. Would drive me nuts. I got worried when a coyote got too close to my and my father's Boxers and that's 170ish lbs of Boxermeat (One of the few times they weren'ttrying to kill each other) on a much smaller coyote |
