Competitive coursing in [[Ireland]], the UK (until prohibition in 2004), [[Portugal]] and [[Spain]] has two dogs running against each other.

The [[Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002|Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act]] and the [[Hunting Act 2004]] (in [[England and Wales]]) made it illegal to hunt any type of mammal with dogs with the exception of rabbits and rats. Dogs are still permitted to chase (flush) game into the path of a waiting gun, as long as no more than two dogs are used.

In Australia, dogs may be used to hunt feral animals such as foxes, deer, goats, rabbits, and pigs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boardogs.com/Boardogs_Deerhounds1.htm|title=Boardogs Deerhounds|access-date=23 July 2016}}</ref>
