gonzalez 24 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Now it ain't usually my thing to post in these coursing threds, i'd rather leave it to those qualified to do so, those who have really walked the walk, so to speak. Though my hats off to you boys, I read 'em with great interest, as i've always been an admirer of these special hounds and hope to own another Saluki blooded dog sometime soon. Anyways, about a month back, a none hunting friend asked me if I wanted some old copies of Shooting News, as her late Grandfather was a shooter and had kept all that he had, in immaculate condition. She's brought me about twelve, so far (I've asked for 'em all) and they make for some nostalgic and interesting reading. The classified sections especially, so I thought I'd put up some ad's to see if anyone knows of 'em, and if some of these pups would have made any impact on a then 'infant' match coursing scene...? First from January 1989.. (A big box ad) Hare Killers Saluki type bitch, 26ins, 12months old. Red and featherd, has killed 14 hares so far. Plenty of speed, strike and stamina. Very well bred three quarter Saluki quarter Greyhound three quarter Saluki quarter Lurcher. red dog, 26ins, smooth 18months. By Merlin to a very well bred bitch. This dog will kill and retrieve back to car, 2 out of possible 3 hares per day. Dog pup, 16 weeks, by Merlin and Dee. Parents and grandparents all top class 3 out of 3 match dogs. Sold only to perminant home to be used as stud later on, £150. 4 dog pups, 12 weeks old, by Rooster, just sold for £1000. Grandsire: Merlin, granddame Eve. Blue, Dawn, Fly, Merlin, Rebel, Hawkeye, Fly2, Blade, Gypsy, Ringo, Swan, Snitch. Some of the very best and all in the pedigree of these puppies, £125. Tel G****. On***** Two standard ads from December 1988. Coursing Men. Three cracking bitch pups out of Merlin and my own bitch. Hare single handed and excellent lamper. £100 each. Tel***** And... Saluki Greyhound first cross pups. Sire: Arguably 'the' best coursing dog in the North, 29". Dam: 27", open-class Greyhound. Bred for hares, excellent potential in the right hands. All wormed. £ each. Tel******** Lancs. the first advert is gary from leicster, who "made" the merlin x eve line of dog's !!! heard people slag gary calling him a puppy peddaler, but the coursing world owe's him, a big hand of gratitude, for having the foresight to buy these dogs in when their running careers were over and breed from them and to keep breeding them !!!! R.I.P. GAZ Just out of interest mate was the "other advert for three cracking bitch pup's a Tamworth phone number 0827........? It was mate, yes russ bred the first merlin x eve litter which produced a smooth cream bitch called ghost, the best dog i saw out of all the merlin x eve stuff bar none, sold to j.g. for top dollar. the dee bitch was bred out of a fly x hoover bitch and ivors white dog, and did 3 out 3 often ive got a pic of her 24 at the shoulder a tight running bitch with gears same style as pippa martins rebel x eve bitch qaulity animals did u see a pippa run gonzales which one have you got a picture of ?

It was mate, yes that was my mate's litter out of merlin put to his rough coated bitch bea, i didnt buy one straight away as my mate's bitch was just a rough coated greyhound !!! fast as f**k but no stamina, but a another mate took one on and she was "dynamite" he split up with his mrs later and i bought her for £ best money i ever paid for a dog ! took her up the fen's and she destroyed them she was nigh on as fast as her mother but had a good 5 min's in the tank if needed, not many took her 5 min's either piped or died, reuben doe loved her and offered me strong money £3000 but i never sold her even though at that time i never had a pot to piss in !!! a few of my mate's really rated her up there with the best, i never, she never had a good enough "strike" in my opinion, but a very good bitch all the same R.I.P.Cassie.

Bosun11 537 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Good stuff Carp, a good tale I'm glad the old ad's jogged a few memorys, they did for me. I would have had 'em all first time out, as I remember some of the articles but god knows what happened to mine. Like I said, some interesting stuff in them old mags and i'll post on different type threds as things come up. Oh yer, there's an article on Don Southerd in one of the mags, which should make for interesting reading, next time i'm laid up with flu or sommat i'll write it up on here word for word.
