The greyhound stands alert having spotted the hares, which have not yet seen him. He hesitates – these are big beasts, not the bundle of fur he’s used to chasing round a track. Is the hopping hare coming to warn them of the danger?

The boxing/dancing hares are sold as a pair, but can also be purchased individually. They do leap and dance about on their own, in spring.

Hares, whether hopping or dancing: £925 each

Greyhound: £945
