  1. It’s the first week of august mate and still hot as hell ! Cheers.
  2. Pure working pedigree whippet; Best I’ve seen, Mally’s Vixen. Cheers.
  3. Yes, to bitches that already had greyhound blood , to freshen up the greyhound blood and re-introduce speed. Cheers.
  4. Seen the ‘champ run aswell. Cheers.
  5. I’ve a good memory for an old’un mate ! Cheers.
  6. Yep, probably around 30 years, I remember flying home from Saudi to see him run at Brough Park, Newcastle. Cheers.
  7. Molly who is on here had a pup put of it to a courser. It didn’t make the grade. Cheers.
  8. I don’t know if it’s Sandman , the Waterloo Cup winner, but he was put into coursing bred lurchers, also more recently B. Bob. Cheers.
  9. I haven’t a clue mate ! I’ts just the devilment in me that enjoys getting you all wound up about Salukis ! LOL ! Cheers.
  10. How can that be ? Take the Splodge x Fettle mating for an example , they both have greyhound and saluki, and possibly beddy in Fettle, so you are still getting the greyhound blood. You can’t tell me every mating for years has only been back to a pure saluki ? We all know there’s been greyhound added and saluki/ greyhound hybrids. Granted the blood of the modern coursing bred will be heavily saluki, but your trying to write the greyhound out of the type, which is nonsense, simply because of your saluki breed blindness . What about the grews that went in now and again , or the ol
  11. “Very little “ is not the same as “no” They must have had greyhound in them unless they used a different base breed, or they would just be Salukis . Cheers.
  12. Are you really saying those dogs didn’t have greyhound in them ? Cheers.
  13. Max has still got stock from Splodge and Fettle, both Forley Cup winners, but he’s putting more and more non-ped blood into them to bring up the speed, although he did put one to a pure saluki. Cheers.
  14. What’s the old saying ; “ Theres dog men ……and men with dogs “ ? Cheers.
  15. Of course not !!!! The Brick beat Miles fair and square ! (That’ll send mC’s BP off the scale ) ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. I know that, but I meant moving on from race dogs to coursing dogs. I know plenty , including myself, that started with racing whippets and greyhounds and got knowledge and experience from the old timers how to condition a dog. I doubt that many could simply get a running dog and bring it to the peak of condition at the right time without any sort of background in the game . Maybe some could, but having advice from the lads that have been there must be an advantage? Cheers.
  17. I wonder if Alan’s skill and success with coursing types was somehow influenced by the way his dad and the men around him could condition a whippet ? He used to be on here, his opinions would be well worth hearing. Cheers.
  18. Alan’s dad had non-ped whippets, I particularly remember one called Bucephalus, a very good dog. Used to race against them at Ashington area many years ago. Cheets.
  19. I’m only on a bit of a wind up mate ! Ive had most types including pure Salukis and their crosses. I haven’t got any favourites, if I was an out and out day walker, I’d have a coursing bred, but I do most things and the Deer x suits what I do now. I think the days of walking the fens for hours and having 10-12 minute courses are gone now, it’s just not worth the draconian punishments, but get out of the way up the Northumberland fells or across the border to the hills and you can have great days out. I think most people hear “non-ped “ whippet and think it’s just a whippet
  20. Awaiting incoming … Cheers.
  21. Of course ! Arent Salukis renowned for their brains ? PMSL ! Cheers.
  22. Yes, two hot chillis, two bay leaves, black pepper corns and mustard seeds. The pepper didn’t taste any different to normal bell peppers to be honest, but I never expected it to taste if chocolate! LOL ! Cheers.
  23. Lilly Allen is making a fortune on “Only Fans” selling photos of her feet. You guys want to get on there with pics of your legs ! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. My great grandfather would be turning in his grave at the thought of all these homo hunters ……; Cheers.
