Lurcher racing

[4NGU$]

Lurcher link (charity) sim-coursing event on Saturday in Peterborough

if you think bikes and cars are hard to work with you should try this, cars aren't constantly changing shape you have to get the shot at the right time so you get the dog in the right position
preferably frozen in mid air or with all 4 legs under them
plus when the dogs get wise to the course they start to cut corners and where they cut is were i tend to be standing and i tell you haveing two dog running at you doing 40mph is very scary

any way on to the pictures

like a coiled spring

flying

Done for the day

I love that Irish Wolfhound, even though they are big as a horse and act like them too.... Still loyal dogs and good guard dogs...

Edit: Never mind...What is this dog? That can't be an Irish Wolfhound can it? Whatever it is, I like it...

 

[leSHok]

ahh i have a lurcher. those dogs are insanely fast. my stepdad (who bought the dog) is from england and every now and then he would watch those races.

I thought Lurcher might have been the name of the race not dogs... Sorry, I am an idiot from the US....

Haha. I thought the same thing as Intelcrazy...

I'm thinking, "What kind of name is that?"

Really good pictures though. They look like amazing dogs.
