House was larger than it appears. I gave her to an old houndsman friend of mine shortly afterwards. He used her for breeding stock mainly.

One day they ran a large coyote into a brushpile. One by one they sent in their best sighthounds. Coyote was facing the only entrance & he gave each hound a face full. As a last resort my old friend happened to have my female stag along. He sent her in & after a fight. She pulled that coyote out by the side of his face/neck.

stags...good. coyotes...bad
 
I'll post a few old pics from one of my mentors. Dad & my old hunting bud. We would spot a sleeping long range predator. Then sneak in close with the sighthounds. Some of the best days of my life.
 
Saluki sighthound

Another Saluki. This breed of dog were used(centuries ago) to run down gazelle in the Middle East. They are not overly fast, but are very long winded. I've seen them run hard for near 2 miles without stopping. Impressive endurance.

Guy in the photo's taught me quite abit about spot/stalking. One of the most usefull things he taught me. Was how to triangulate a bedded canine's coordinance within mere ft. Useing terrain features/land markers. Et if done properly & useing enough time to figure land marker coordinance(s) from the canine.

A hunter can sneak in from any direction (blindy), if they so choose. Et top their last hilltop/ridgeline & see the canine dead ahead. That is unaware of your presense.
