Coursing is a type of hunting that involves using dogs to chase and capture game animals, typically hares or rabbits. The dogs, often breeds like Greyhounds or Whippets, rely on their speed and agility to pursue the animals over open terrain. This method emphasizes the natural instincts of the dogs and their ability to work independently. In coursing events, dogs are usually released in pairs to chase a single animal, and the outcome is often determined by the dog's performance and skill. Coursing can be a competitive sport, with organized events held in various regions, promoting the breed's hunting abilities while ensuring the welfare of the animals involved.
