I don’t know enough about vaccines to debate the pro’s and con’s, but I am old enough to remember going to school with poor buggers wearing leg irons because of polio, a disease all but eradicated in the UK because of the vaccine. Cheers.

I had a dog shot by a keeper, early 70’s. There’s lads been done already for going equipped they had running dogs in the motor and were driving around the lanes at the fens, I think they were from Manchester. Cheers.

How many of us are aware of the two new laws that came into effect in 2022 concerning hunting hares ? Colloquially known as “ the going equipped laws”. This means if you are pulled in an area known for hare coursing or lamping, walking your dog on a lead or even if you are driving in your motor, and have a running dog, a slip lead, binoculars, a lamp, a thermal imager or anything that the police deem as “equipment for catching hares”, you’re nicked ! Ive been lucky, in almost 60 years I’ve been to court for poaching only twice and won one, lost one. Take care, use com

I’m not sure if it makes a difference, I think it might, but Sweden has free universal health care, Japan has mandatory health insurance, America has neither. Cheers.

Watching them now…. Great ! Cheers.

Gypsy ? If he comes up here he will wonder how the f**k he ended up going home with a knackered trotting horse, a whippet , a fighting cock and an empty wallet ! PMSL ! Cheers.

I don’t believe my ears as it is ! LOL ! Cheers.

Maybe so but it’s nothing to do with hares, he wants to race a non- ped, I’ll sort that out for him, if I asked them to race him on a hare they’d think I was stupid. THEY ARE RACE DOGS , NOT COURSING DOGS. I don’t see what’s so difficult to understand. If he wants a match on hares, Max will match him with his lurcher. Cheers.

You wouldn’t last a week with me, I’d need the air ambulance on speed dial, I couldn’t carry someone your weight at my age ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Because it’s nothing to do with hares ! Cheers.
-
The breeding is terrific! The non- ped side has two of the fastest ever dogs, Sky Warrior and Lord Snooty. The greyhound side has Westmead Hawk and England Expects. The coursing side has Splodge and Fettle. Top class breeding, if it all “clicks” they’ll be some dogs. I haven’t anything in mind, I could end up with a whippet or another deer x, who knows ? Cheers.
-
Nothing planned mate, but the lads put up a lot of videos of pups and dogs on my WhatsApp group, and who knows, one might take my eye when I’m over . Weve had a few sent over, the greyhound dam to my bitch, a beddy/ greyhound, a whippet. Cheers.
-
The only thing guaranteed is that I’ll be over to see you lads providing nothing catastrophic happens. I’ve even been looking at airlines that let you bring a pup back as hand luggage! Cheers.
-
It’s not my rules .There’s not a non- ped owner I know who runs hares, they are racers , mc is throwing out the challenge, he says his dog is faster than a non/ped, why on earth would they want to run a hare ? Cheers.
-
I’ll have a look at the race calendar and see what’s on in about 8 weeks time. It will probably be at Horden in Durham or Westerhope or Wallsend in Newcastle. The three I mentioned are six year old, so about the same as your dog. Also, Max has just told me he will match you with his lurcher bitch ; a race on the track over 150; 175 or 200yards and match you on a hare . This is nothing to do with you racing a non- ped, that’s separate. Cheers.
-
You said surely 200 yards is too short. Now you’re saying it should be lure coursing. Why ? Non-Ped whippets run over 150-200 yards.they don’t run over long distance and they don’t lure course. mC says his dog is faster than a non-ped. I didn’t challenge him; every time I mention non-peds he jumps straight in telling us his dog is faster, so it’s simple, come and race one ! Or we could give his dog a timed trial , every race is timed by a handicapper. Either way, I’m happy , I’ll even try to get a dog the same age as his to race him. Ive never said a non-ped is better

The excuses are starting ! LOL ! Cheers.

It’s my thankless task of trying to educate my protege’, mate ! Im a stubborn old f****r, I’ll not give up ! LOL ! Cheers.

None of the dogs will be 26 1/2” mate. The bitch that won is about 23” , the dog is at the upper limit, about 25”, but there are dogs and bitches around 20” 32lb that will beat any coursing bred over 150-200 yards. The dogs I went to see yesterday are the scratch dogs , the fastest there is, the record holders. Ive seen the racing lurchers over the years that thought they could beat them…they couldn’t ! A lad who claimed he had the fastest lurcher in the UK and Ireland came to our track and go nowhere near the track record holder and a 24lb racing champion bitch did a better

I’ve got a load of moody 20’s, should be ok ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Or they could say it’s the bailiff come to move Charts on ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
There’s two whippet tracks near me and both welcome lurchers. Cheers.
-
I used to be very argumentative, but as I’ve got older I’m getting more like my late son who was a diplomat in the British Consulate in Saudi Arabia, so see , you CAN teach an old dog new tricks ! LOL ! Cheers.

Doubtful. Cheers.

So are my grannies…. Cheers.
