sight hounds

[Dan McDonough]

Houndsnhorses- My buddy lives about 10 miles North of me and we do a fair amount of coyote running together. He bred a AA racer to a plott and has been running it with the running walkers on coyote. That dog is good for about a half hour but what he can do in that half hour in the woods is pretty cool. If that dog is spiked in after the race has been gong for a while he will catch hard and when the rest of the pack catches up it's over. If that dog doesn't loose his edge for fighting (because he's catching alone most of the time), he's going to double the number of dog caught coyotes and that's not counting the times when I'm there with the stags. The endurance on the first crosses does not compare with the running walkers but the drive to catch makes up for it. You may have to adjust how you hunt the dog your proposing to make but if you can spike the dog in on a race you may find a way to use it effectively. Be careful, the sighthounds put a lot of catch in a cross and that may be a disadvantage on lions, it all depends on how the dog handles itself.
