Quote HistoryQuoted:
Jesus christ those dog can fly. Do many people use greyhounds for hunting? Catahoulas are more common for coyote hunting, but yes, greyhounds obviously fit the bill nicely. That was so badass to watch those dogs work!
ETA for CSB: I had my dog (an Original Mountain Cur) out with me while playing disc golf at KC's Blue Valley Park. He took off after a coyote and I figured it was game on at that point. They disappear over the crest of a hill, and when I see them next they're fucking playing with each other. My dog would be chasing the yote one minute, then I'd see them again and the yote was chasing the dog. This went back and forth for several minutes before my dog got tired and returned to me without incident. It was freaking cool as hell to watch. |

My big GSP has a ton of "hound" in her. She is probably as close to an old school continental bred GSP as you can get, she was crazy efficient at killing fur. As big as a pain in the ass as it was to call her off, in retrospect it was damn impressive how good she was at it.
The first time I ever saw her kill a coyote it was over and done so fast I didn't have time to get my whistle up. We were working a long water run hunting pheasant and all of a sudden I heard her bay like a hound. I figured she caught a cattail to the paw and started digging for some gauze. No sooner did I look up and out comes a coyote. My dog rolled the coyote, the coyote came around to bite my dog, and my dog caught the coyote by the neck. One shake and the coyote went limp. This all transpired in two, maybe three seconds. She killed a few more coyotes, a badger, couple skunks  , and a weasel before she went blind and I stopped hunting her. She never once had a hair harmed on her and I can't remember any kill taking more than a fraction of a second.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What terrain can they do this on? Corn fields can get really rough. I wonder what kinds of concerns there are about the quality of the terrain when running these kinds of dogs? That is one area where the Lurcher's cross breeding is necessary. Physically, a purebred greyhound's frame is not very robust in comparison. The terrrain is what it is. I've got two greys that injured themselves so profoundly that they were retired out before reaching their first birthday: The girl dog shattered her left shoulder blade, which has left her with a permanent limp and unable to walk on all four legs for more than a 1/2 mile without assistance.  The youngest boy came to us at 10 months old, with nerve damage from the right front shoulder on down, a badly withered leg, his wrist calcified and locked at a 90 degree angle, which led to him arriving with a deep scraping open (and untreated) wound on the top of his paw. He just turned 2 and had the leg amputated almost a year ago. These injuries probably happened on the racing kennel's farm tracks. Rougher terrain certainly can lead to that sort of damage, as those sorts of long legs step into divots, gopher holes, etc. and run into fence poles, etc. at 45 mph. Racing kennels aren't automatically putting down injured dogs anymore. I don't know what the individuals running Lurchers do when facing similar challenges to the dog's health. |

From what I've heard, those horizon-to-horizon Kansas fields are the best. Cut grain stubble is the fastest. Even out west, when the fields get smaller with brushy spots nearby or the terrain becomes more rolling, the coyotes stand a chance of getting away. As long as the dogs can always see the coyote, they should be able to run him down. |
