Blacktabs, you mentioned that old stuff you still keep a line too, Bodger's stuff, you said, would that be Bodger Quimby as that sounds like a name I remember from the past, though I might be wrong or confused?

 

Either way, it would be interesting to know more about 'em if poss.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Plummer's old stuff came down from J.Arigho's original stuff, all gypsy bred, would that be off Bodger?

 

 

Yes mate it was bodger quimby plummer had a few running dogs on the yard from him Grip and burke were two of them.

If i can remember right Bodger bred Grip and he in turn sired some class hare killers pre saluki era burke being one of them i owned the half brother to him real wanting type Like Whin rightly says game as anything.

Heard a tale about Burke when i was last down that way Brian had a go at treating a wound on his inner thigh using maggots only they ate into the leg and he had to be PTS Burke is the dog jumping the gate with a hare in his mouth in one of his books.
