I may be mistaken, but wasn’t Ray’s Buck sired by Wilfy Wells , the litter brother to England Expects ? Cheers.
-
Distance dog I think . Cheers.

I saw a scatter bred lurcher do 3/3 just two seasons ago, was never on a slip, ran one, the other two out of their seats. This bitch took 3/3 on Nissan sports fields / Sunderland airport 45 years ago, again never on a slip, just working the land herself. Cheers.
-
I thought it killed 12 in a row over a week ? Cheers.
-
I thought he was putting up videos of kick ups deliberately ! Honestly, I wondered what he was up to ? LOL ! Cheers.
-
I’ve just checked how much those match monies would be today. £54 = £960 today. £70 = £1,180 today. A lot of money 53 years ago for a 20 year old apprentice ! Cheers.
-
Ahh, so yours weren’t really matches ? They were just walk outs with pals ? when I had the whippets and greyhounds I had probably 1,000’s of races, won some , lost some. But actual matches, money matches , challenges , were a different thing. Heres a few I had with whippets and greyhounds back in ‘72 ; Cheers.
-
I’m still a bit confused, you were talking about matches and said you were unbeaten 30-0 ? Cheers.
-
I’m getting confused , I thought it was YOU that had the 30 matches ? Who are you talking about ? Cheers.
-
What were these “30 matches” ? Doubled up, single handed, best of 3 ? Independent slipper and judge ? Cheers.

Stocking up on the pickled onions; Good selection of tomatoes today; Cheers. -
I don’t personally know anyone using performance enhancing drugs on the whippets, but both the Ped and Non-ped governing bodies have drug testing procedures so I guess it must go on. I know some whippet and greyhound people use season suppressing methods , especially on six monthly bitches, otherwise they would nerve be race fit. Cheers.
-
Same here, my bitch comes into season in march , a perfect time, seasons ended, plenty time for her to relax over the summer and start getting her fit around now for the start of the season about mid-September. Cheers.
-
Why don’t the summer hunters just admit it instead of all the excuses; ”farmer asked me to do it”, ”Will lose my permission if I don’t do it”, ”pest control”, No one believes them, they are only lying to themselves. Cheers.

It’s not just the seasons, Bangers, it’s about the crops coming down , the ground and most importantly letting the animals breed and the young get a start in life. If we kill the young’uns, there’d be nothing left to hunt in the hunting season. As I’ve said before, if you want to summer hunt, for whatever reason, that’s up to you, but it’s not for me. Cheers.

So if the pures are better, why aren’t they all using them ? What’s the point of the hybrid ? Cheets.
-
And the lurchers in the Merlin and Eve stuff would have had greyhound in them ! Greyhounds were the base breed of the coursing breds, why won’t you accept that ? Cheers.
-
Id say every coursing bred alive today has greyhound in them. You started this by saying there was no greyhound in the coursing breds, which was ridiculous. Then you said there was a little bit. Then you said your dogs hat a lot of Ballyreagan Bobs blood ! Make your mind up ! LOL ! I don’t understand why you’re trying to deny the obvious ? The original thought was to get the speed of the greyhound and the stamina of the saluki, and it’s damn near been achieved but your trying to write the greyhound out of the coursing dogs history ! Cheers.
-
But how many of the bitches in that 50 years had greyhound in them ? Was every mating to a pure saluki ? Cheers.
-
To put speed back in the line If they go Saluki, Saluki , Saluki, they end up with almost pure Saluki and lose the speed the greyhound originally gave the line. Even when a Pure saluki stud is used, the bitch will undoubtedly have some greyhound blood. They don’t expect a first cross Greyhound / hybrid coursing dog to be world beaters, it’s about freshening up the line, putting a bit speed back in. mC seems to think all that’s needed is saluki and the greyhound had no influence on the type. His dogs may be fast, but that’s from their greyhound heritage, not the saluki, he

I’ve never in all my time on here have someone give us shit for NOT summer hunting. The country is truly upside down ! Cheers.
-
No need to call him names , he’s not a bad lad ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
He is rather predictable, isn’t he ? Cheers.
-
You want to summer hunt, that’s ok, I don’t. Cheers.

It’s the first week of august mate and still hot as hell ! Cheers.
