I think we're all missing the point of my post here.

 

I've seen several of Dons dogs run in the flesh.....I'm in no way trying to demean the man or his dogs, just stating the fact that when he issued his challenge to anyone in the country who wanted to match him, Turk beat whichever dog Don thought was his best on the day.

 

I saw Turk run in the flesh too, indeed on the day Tony gave her to me she killed 2 from 2 on Oggie and Gary's permission at the age of 7 years old.

 

I also have the video which represents most of what Tony had on tape including missed hares.

 

My point was not to make out that Turk was the best bitch in the land, but she was a high class bitch of her era and had competed with the likes of Joe Murphy's Salty etc.

 

The point is that I chose to spread the pups around my friends rather than try to cash in on the reputation of the dogs.....as so often fen runners get accused of.

Neither am I in anyway, trying to demean Tony Howley,whom I regard as a top bloke, likewise his bitch Turk.

I just made the point that the hares were killed early in the year, August I believe and the reason was ,the farmer wanted them thinned out.I think I am right about the month ,it is a while since I watched the footage.

I bought it from Tony years ago.

 

There was no attempt to suggest they were February hares

I have run against Don a couple of times and run in a club with him for about 10 years.Pre Ban of course.

I also had a pup from him [beau x Lady]So I am familiar with his dogs.

I was responding to Mr Clever[Desert Hunter], who felt it called for a wanker emoticon as a reply.

It seems you can't make an honest comment without abuse in reply, either ,silly wanker signs ,or being accused of being an anti. I wonder there are still some good posters left on this forum.

I take your point about spreading the pups around your friends,and commend you for it.

I never knock dogs on the internet, neither do I form an opinion of them on the basis of a couple of minutes of possibly edited footage.

Turk was a real dog ,and one I would have been glad to,find space for.

Have a good season.

I had a dog pup from Beau and Lady too inan.....but it had poor feet.

Have you heard how Don is keeping after that episode with the low life scum who beat him up and robbed him?

I spoke to Gary D ,just after it happened ,he went to visit Don ,and said he was doing ok.A few of us who were in the club sent a signed get well card I believe he was "out" last year, fair play to the old fella.

My pup had good feet , but turned out to have cataracts which may have been congenital ,so he was not used ,even for breeding. Mac had the brother or sister ,I can't recall which now, getting senile.ATB.

Decent cricketer, the young lad!
