Been and gone now mate most the places have been built on down our way not all of em but all changed

I think personally one night he knocked 3 fallow 64 rabbits 3 hares with one dog but along time ago and the places they ran where full go gear soo yeah

One of them Reindeer jumpers in 3XL would be just the ticket for mC HULL for his trips over the bridge that one was probably 3xl knowing Archie

Wasn’t just good for coursing the bottom dogs the man holding is jj and merlin that Frank and Eric from crowland

First dog chris smiths sally regular 6/6 dog second dog chris smiths tess beat most dogs in the country sadly lost a match in her old age to one nuttals dogs the rest are saluki greyhounds x back to lampings dogs

Sadly mate a lot of em passing away now I’m quite lucky to still have couple around me no matter how many times I hear the same stories you just sit there and listen and respect the fact they have been there and done it

I’ll dig some out

I had one ages ago first lurcher actual dose anyone know if they guy from up Birmingham way is still breeding Neil he name was

Definitely different era now good honest dogs

That’s not Tess I think I’ll see if I can get some photos off her

Just spoke to Archie and he said the tess chris ran was bred by Frank and Eric up crowland or could be Matt McCulloch breeding

Funny enough was talking to a man who said she was only small bitch swoop but she could bust em but Chrissy matched swoop with he’s bitch tess three times and beat swoop

Over 30 years ago now mate

I think Archie h got asked to contribute to a book on coursing and as he said who remember me I just wanted to run my dogs not be famous

Sad really cause I think the bitch Chrissy ran beat most dogs in the country at one point long time ago now tho
