martinabley 4 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 i have a pal who races at askern , he brings his dogs to mine for a bit of lamping to keen them up. they have all caught rabbits on the first slip. the hardest bit is to get them to come back if they miss a rabbit. they are only let off the lead to race round the track.

countryman5 5 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dose any body use a pure breed greyhound for lamping?..if so are they any good?.. had one years ago got it to line to a imported bull,never seen a dog put so many turns on a hare,but broke toes badley but was game and took charlie and bill no probs Quote Link to post

mcass123 6 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 my uncle had an ex track dog, big fcuker, 27tts, he was really fast but on the turn he had a lot of ground to make up, like a lot though, he caught his fair share and he could jump too, a bit too well though, he cleared his run and got killed by a car. thats a crackin lookin strong dog you have though mate, hope he is doin you proud atb mcass Quote Link to post
