    Totally agree their different to the dogs i saw in the late 70s then again most of them were the result of ped whippets bred to greyhounds and still retained the peds stamina.atb dell Poach, that dogs pic with the roe I put up; that was in the late 60's and his litter varied from an 18lb bitch to a 50lb bitch !! He was around 36/40lb but looked like a perfect Whippet. He wasn't the fastest around, but on the day he got faster after every 150 yd race ! We used to walk to the tracks , over the many slagheaps that blotted the landscape then, and would course a hare before we got to the tra

    I think I'm convinced it's a Mouflon; Cheers.

    I tend to agree with you, Chalky; but the non-ped grews in the old days were much more "lurcher" bred, and were expected to be "multi functional"; race, course and do a bit ferreting. I still go to the Whippet racing, been there today, but the modern non-ped is bred for out and out speed, and with a few exceptions, would not stand up to a days coursing or a nights lamping. Nothing wrong with that; I'm amazed at the times they do over 150 yds, I even bought a stopwatch to time them myself, as I couldn't believe how faster they were than in my day !! Cheers.

    This lad was sired by Blue Boy, out of Zarwood. He won pleanty of races, took any amount of hares, and had the odd Roe; this was long, LONG, before the ban, by the way ! LOL !; Cheers.

    I wonder if it was brainy enough to know it was going to land in that bush, or mad enough not to care !! LOL !! Cheers.

    That looks more like a Mouflon, a type of wild sheep, than a deer. Cheers.

    At the moment, I have one of each; a Lurcher, (Beddy/Grey x Deer/Grey-Whippet/Grey), and a Longdog, 1st x Deer/Grey.It's impossible to say what type is best, as they are for different jobs, but both will have a decent go at each others job ! It's all a matter of personal choice and what you use the dog for. Cheers.

    Did the vet not give any medication ? I'd be looking for a second opinion if I was you ! Best of luck, hope he's ok !! Cheers.

    Interesting reply. How should a handler be the focus for a dogs drive ? Cheers.

    Greyhound/Bedlington/Collie/Saluki/Deerhound/Whippet or any mixture of the afore mentioned !! There is no "best cross". Cheers.

    "it was one time a year..." that may be so if you only went to the Waterloo Cup I must of been lucky to of been out 3-4-5days a week and that statement would apply to any coursing meeting not just the Waterloo Cup Y.I.S Leeview I was talking about the Waterloo in particular, as thats what the thread is about; but I must agree, at the Coquet & Border in the 60s & 70s the flanking lines were made up of miners from the Ashington area and a lot of shipyard workers from the Tyneside area.

    aye and the clubs and the rich landowners are still coursing within the law, Its us the majority that bears the brunt of the ban and pays the price in our pockets when we get caught. This law is like the old forest laws of old keeping us of the land... Hare Coursing was, before the ban, and still is, ilegal to me, as I never had permission anywhere. I enjoyed going to my local coursing club, The Border & Coquetdale, and enjoyed the Wateloo, but there was never any chance of me running a dog at either meets ! I simply wasn't in any of the cliques. But that never stopped the enjoymen

    In the "old days", it was standard practice to give a "dropper" to a racing Whippet, Greyhound, or coursing dog; just to let it have an easy kill, let it taste some warm fur and give it a bit of confidence ! It is, of course totaly illegal to do that now ! Cheers.

    Getting back on topic.... I miss the Waterloo Cup, 'cause it was the one time of year when Lords and layabouts, accountants and coal miners, pillars of society and scallys, could all get together with one thing in common .....RUNNING DOGS !!!! Social standing, rich and poor, didn't matter a shit, all got excited when the Hare came thru' and the Slipper started running !!! There was cheers when the Hare made her escape and cheers when the Greyhound made a good kill ! It's a part of life that old blokes like me will not see again, and young lads in the game can only dream about ....... Cheer

    On each of the three days of the last Waterloo Cup, I asked for an extra card; the guy asked why ? I said I wanted one to fill in and one to keep in mint condition for framing as it would probably be the last one ever. He said no problem, I have them put away safe, but will frame them sometime. Cheers.

    I used to attend the Border & Coquetdale Coursing Club, in Northumberland; and I can assure you there were no "netted hares" run there !! Cheers.

    I was there for the full three days of the last Waterloo Cup. Had a great time, laughing when the police car went into the ditch, baiting the anti's and generally having a good time. Had to laugh when a scally pinched a load of collars from a stand and the owner asked "did anyone see what he looked like ?", and one wag said "I think he was wearing a Barbour jacket !" LOL !!! Saw some terrific Greyhounds run, and also one or two that I wouldn't give kennel room !! I particularly liked the little American bitch, Cashels Evening, I think it was called. I videod most of it, including the final, an
