I need to know if anybody out there has or knows of a good strain of running coyote hounds?

I am thinking Julys or running walkers. dogs that can run and catch.I have a freind that is doing coyote work in an area where you can't trap and shooting, and calling them is not very productive because they get wary fast. I think the country he is in is too broken up to be effective for sight or gaze hounds to operate well in so He is interested in some rough running scent hounds. He doesn't want to run a big pack so they also need to be the kind of dog that can battle a coyote.

I had a freind years ago that raised some Julys and they did very well on coyotes but he has since passed away.

Let me know if you have any information.

Thanks

Contact a man named Dan Edwards, he will be able to help you.. I lost his # but he is on a lot of boards.. You may want to look at running 2 running type hounds w/ 2-3 Stag hounds.. You can cast them together and when the Julys or whatever jump the yote the stags speed ahead and catch the yote and kill him, and the hounds will help when they catch up.. I have a contact for Stags in Canada you can pm me if you want the info, he runs his dogs in the open, brush and the forest, he dose it as a job and you cant get more proven stags run in a variety of conditions..

I would think site hunting hounds borzois, gray hounds, deerhounds and lurchers, Irish wolfhounds

Check out 'Grazehounds and Coursing' History, Art and Sport of Hunting with Sighthounds

(www.high-lonesomebooks.com) or call them for book 575-338-3763


Don't know for sure but that book may drop some names of who breeds what. The author is Dutch Salmon.

Stags hounds, Lurchers and Greyhounds are the only ones I have heard of that can CATCH AND KILL a yote.. Irish Wolf hound is not the origanal breed it is a remake and not a true hunter.. Every one I have heard of w/ them or a cross has culled them...

C.J

It's why the Irish wolfhound was last on my list... inbreeding and cumbersomeness....

'Lurchers' hybrids carrying the blood of the mentioned breeds seem the way to go.

For my money I'll take a pair of grays because the breeds fighting ability.

if you look on the website( terrier central . com ) you will find some guys that are hunting staghounds on coyote and they also have some video's of there dogs hunting them ,here in the UK where i am at the moment i am hunting fox and deer with lurchers and airedales because the fields are smaller here i use lurchers to get to the game fast as i only want a short chase as i try to keep it with in the fields i am hunting , i use the airedales to find the game and when they are on and after it i let the lurchers go there only job is to get there fast and to slow it down or stop it untill the other dogs get there normally straight after the lurchers get there , i have found that hunting the dogs this way works well here and for this type of game and if i was hunting coyote in canada or the states i would be useing staghounds

Mike -Go to "Vargy's Coyote Hunting Site" Alot of good people will help you out over there.

Thank you all for the information I have passed it along.

i ment to say also in my post you should also tell him to go and look at some of the australian dog sites as some of the dogs they use there are hunted in broken country and bush i know that a guy called frosty that runs one of the sites is useing is a cross that is bull x airedale x? that is doing a good job for him ,i know he said that the airedale had given this cross good head ,legs and scenting , he is hunting boar in heavy bush so he needs a dog with a good nose
