    Alas, fleetingly, we moved in opposite strata’s of society Cheers.

    The “Lord Orford” legacy ? Cheers.

    It’s got a front end like a Charolais bull and a back end like a Kardashian Cheers.

    Is that the only thing you noticed Cheers.

    I don’t think we are talking about the same type of double muscle. The type I’m talking about is peculiar to whippets and appears if both parents carry the gene. Like this ; My dog wasn’t quite as bad , but not far off Cheers.

    You mentioned “double muscle” on a post the other day. I had a non-ped that was “doubled muscled”, called The Baron, it was sired by one of the greatest scratch dogs ever, Red Baron, and the dam was non-ped whippet x collie/ greyhound, so could reasonably be called a lurcher. It had the strangest running style ; it almost seemed to be running sideways, as if its back legs were trying to overtake its front legs ! It won a few match races for me, but cramped up badly afterwards. I never bred from it. This was back in 1972; Great times Cheers.

    You’ve got me reminiscing about my old dogs now and I could talk about them all day My brother and I had a bitch, Flossy, she was bred Rch. Yorkie Boy x greyhound. She levelled out at 19 1/2” and 32 lb, tremendously fast but she was second best in her weight class to a bitch called Devils Angel, also by Rch Yorkie boy x a different greyhound . They ruled the 32lb class but I could never beat it ! We mated her with a non-ped but the pups were culls even though they were 1/4 greyhound. We then mated her with a non- ped x greyhound, making the pups 1/2 greyhound but again culls.

    The same tracks as the 60’s Definately lack the “hardiness” of the old type non-peds. Id put that down to we used the dogs for dual purpose; coursing, ferreting, lamping through the week and racing at the week ends. Now they wouldn’t dream of using their dogs for hunting , they are single minded at getting the fastest dog possible over a 150 yards straight track and winning a Racing Champion title. They get, in my opinion, more injuries, toes, wrists , gracillis, etc than dogs that are worked regularly, but I also put that down to some owners not warming the dogs up properl

    The dogs, it’s the same tracks Cheers.

    Non-peds run on straight grass tracks, still do unless it was a bends championship then they run on whatever greyhound track was/is available. Cheers.

    It’s a bitch. No, the times are far faster now. This bitch; Daisy (Bilko x Greyhound), was the fasted non-ped in the country, by far, unbeatable in the early 70’s but would be at least 10 yards slower than the best scratch dogs today Cheers.

    Marretta; a non/ped racing whippet from the 60’s; Freakishly fast and threw very fast pups. A pal of mine had one , Barretta, also extremely fast , we tried to mate it with one of my dogs but the bitch was barren. I wondered if such extreme conditioning was responsible for it being barren ? Cheers.

    I got sent ten videos, 8 of the dogs running , one of the lads talking in the field and one of them in the pub. The running appears to me mostly on seed and bits when the hare went onto plough. Im not going to get into arguments about it, I wasn’t there and can only comment on what I see in the videos. In my personal opinion it’s a top class bitch whatever it was running on Cheers.

    I’ve just looked at all the vids again and it looks like it’s mainly running on seed ? Cheers.

    Funny enough, Max had just said to me “all five hares couldn’t have been bad hares”. To be honest, that bitch looks that good it would make a good hare look average ! I wouldn’t know if the hare were good or bad, but I’d say the bitch is VERY good Cheers.

    There’s any amount of illegal paki immigrants with second hand tyre shops to do that for me Cheers.

    I’ve never had a pure deerhound, mate. My pal used to breed them but due to ill health he doesn’t now Ive had a few deerhound crosses but I’m certainly not “the deerhound man” Cheers.

    That bitch that sold for £55,000 supposedly did 5/5 yesterday and was sold on for £65,000. It looked very good on the vids Cheers.

    Saluki or Sloughi ? The names are quite interchangeable throughout the Middle East and North Africa depending what dialect of Arabic you talk. Yeah, they are considered different by the KC, but Hamed Ghunaim of the Saluki Centre considered both these to be pure Salukis , but to me it looked like a saluki and a sloughi, but what the hell do I know Cheers.

    I little connection …….. Max was doing some charity work and he asked Bronson when he was in Durham if he could donate one of his paintings. Bronson gave him three, two to auction for the charity and one for himself . Max auctioned them on Moochers. Markbrick bid, I think it was £250 for one of them and got it. Cheers.

    Poland is investigating Mandelson’s links to Epstein and Epstein links to Russian Intelligence. Let’s not forget Mandelson’s links to the Russian Oligarch aluminium billionaire Oleg Deripaska. Mandelson was the EU Trade Commissioner. Days after Mandelson spent time on his yacht, tariffs were lifted and Deripaska made €200 million. So, I’d think Russia is more likely behind, or at least involved, in this than Isreal. But then again, Byzantine, Machiavellian, adjectives hardly touch the surface of international espionage and intrigue! Im not a great believer in conspiracy theor

    What’s the betting Mandelson is “suicided” ? Cheers.
