it quotes hounds only ,so i take it no long dogs allowed ,i know holland,france,germany/poland dont allow running /greyhound coursing game..was just wondering if there were any natives of said countries running their fast mutts

But the article refers only to the use of hounds. As thsts what anti's are most concerned about. Not any other breed. Does not mean terriers, gun dogs, lurchers are not allowed to be used for hunting.

France: Hunting with hounds is legal

Sweden: Hunting with hounds is illegal, but
flushing to guns is legal

Greece: Hounds used as gun dogs

Estonia: Hares and foxes hunted with hounds
Finland: Hares and foxes hunted with hounds

Czech Republic: Hounds used to flush to guns

just a few ,but you cant hunt an animal with anything other than hounds and running dogs is illegal,i know of english lads that got arrested in germany and france for running hares with salukis,one incident lead to their cars being smashed up and the police saved them from a severe beating from the local farming community there...germany is the very same ,seriously frowned upon to course...

Got that wrong with Germany too. If you consider a pack of Jagd Terriers or Dachshunde being used to flush boar or deer.

Spain / Portugal allows driven hunts using hounds. I seen various dogs on driven hunts in France and Spain.

I’d strongly advise anyone not to try it in Belgium as permissions are very strictly regulated and exclusive to the clubs/hunters that have secured them from the farmers or land owners.

The club or syndicate game keepers are also sworn officials with limited policing powers on the lands covered by their permissions. Most will not hesitate to seize dogs and vehicles and immediately involve regular law enforcement.

Likewise Germany...And hunters are still allowed to use deadly force if necessary under the law over there too. Another old Kaiser Reich law still on the books.;)

I didn’t really want to go into that much detail but the situation in Belgium is similar in the sense that authorised and properly qualified gamekeepers known as “bijzondere veldwachter” are allowed to carry a long hunting firearm in the course of their duty.

from what i gather ,coursing or running dogs is not a great idea in eastern europe or a few other european countries,romania ,has a few fans of runners ,and russia is good to go if you can survive the cold in places ...theres supposed to be a youtube video of a course in amsterdam ,with hare and dog but cannot find it yet

It’s illegal to hunt with sight hounds in the Netherlands so there’s a good chance any such videos have been deleted.
