    Wonder if you could lure them with a drone? Lol you could see them through the camera, and vary the course so the dogs don’t predict where to run

    The blue dog was the one that stayed on course. He got the lowest score. How does that happen?

    I think because he ''cut corners''.......for some reason this is considered ''cheating'' but to my mind it signifies a sensible dog! ...{only from reading about Spanish Galgos who are killed for doing this.... :(

    The other two dogs were cheating especially at the start where they did not follow the lure and cut the corner. Later on they again did not follow the lure but went way wide. The blue dog stayed on the lure.

    ​@@Oakleaf700 cutting corners signifies that the dog is predicting the prey rather than staying on it, it can lead to a fault in direction. Galgos don't get killed for doing this.

    No. At least it shouldn't. Like anything it could be overdone, a dog could work too hard if the owner didn't let it rest. But generally this is just dogs doing what dogs want to do and were bred to do in the case of sight hounds. (this version even removes the real rabbits from the scenario so no hurt rabbits OR hurt dogs from rabbits fighting back when caught).

    Whippets were bred for speed and to run short distances, their drive to run and chase the lure is unborn. They have a lot of fun, same goes for racing greyhounds and whippets.

    only if it is an irresponsible owner or trainer who doesn't love his dog and only uses him for his abilities. This should be a gift to the dog, a chance to play at the thing they love most, but if it is about the trainers and their trophies, then abuse is possible.

    We looked into coursing for our whippets, but one of the owners we met had dogs that suffered joint issues later in their lives because of it. We decided to train ours to retrieve frisbees instead. It's shorter distance so they don't push themselves as hard and still get a good workout every day. Even saying the word frisbee gets them super excited now.

    it's all about fitness if your dog is not properly fit it will sustain more injuries and will take longer to heal unfortunately if you run often then you will still get injuries like any athlete

    KAREN SINGH It costs too much to buy actual rabbits for coursing. Plus once the rabbits are caught they could scratch and bite the dog. It's a safety and money issue.

    not to mention the brutal tearing apart of an animal for the sake of entertainment and gambling. Not knocking coursing as a hunting technique for food or whatever, but for sport is just fucked up

    100 rabbits a WEEK? Rabbits only run 18-25 miles an hour. House cats catch them. Hare's are quicker.
