Open field coursing
hunting with Greyhounds (what they were bread for) could not be more fun. While not "long dogs" anything up to a White-tailed deer is pretty much dead meat if a greyhound is on them.
running up to 45 MPH, little can escapee their speed and agility.

Little did we know when they were puppies what we would train them to do?



As they got older we started them on plastic trash bags. A fast moving, easy on the teethh fun toy


As they got older we went Jack-Rabbit hunting where they learned they had an over-drive speed that they soon mastered






We willl walk for miles until a "Jack' flushes and thew hunt is on:
The last few seconds of a very fast Jack...







They have a set of Choppers you would not like to meet....

My wife and I have hunted and taken Deer,Rabbits,Coyotes and a very pissed off Mountain Lion that we were able to talk the Rangers out from a 10,000 dollar fine.
The Rangers could not believe what three 'Grays did to the poor cat.

That sure look's like fun, my Great granddad used to use greyhounds and Scottish deerhounds to chase down coyotes and jackrabbits out in the wheat fields of Oregon. I still have old photograph of a Model T loaded with dogs and coyotes on the hood along with a deer.

Good to see someone using them for what they were designed for.
