There was a racing whippet near me, I think he was non pedigree, they said he was a top racer his name was Indian Joe, anyone heard of him?

also I am surprised no one has any info on what Carl Williams of south Wales is now doing,

he was always being mentioned in the old Shooting news, he had the whippet Bow, and two brood greyhounds bitches, don't know if he still has dogs, never hear of him now.

 

 

what i can do,,,as ive noticed on here there,s quite a few good lurchers here that have indian joe in there breeding,,,ill dig out what i can on him,, :thumbs:

 

and country music,,,i thing i have in one off my mag,s a big write up about him,,,,as so many have his breeding i,e ( lurcher,s / ped whip,s & non peds ),,,,might take a wee while,,, :thumbs: ,,,ill do it over next couple off days,,,( unless somone wants to do it for me lol,,,,that way i dont have to pull all mags out,,and wife moaning with mags every where lol)
