yes that is true I have seen a lot of running dogs in my day, NO doubt she was a bit special, that type of dog only comes once in a life time, Border Lad,

Seen my mates 3/4grey,1/8beardie,1/8 border kill some good well run hares aged 11yrs,took them over 3 fields,that dog was bought off hancocks older stuff,it was kept as a pet for the first 8 yrs of its life never seeing anything till his uncle died and was looking for a good home,he took it on and the dog was a good allrounder,stood 26"TTS with a broken coat,an old boy told me 30 odd years ago that " what you don't get at the beginning you get back on the other end of its life " it seemed so in this case,maybe something for the young lads to think about running their dogs at 6 months,interesting thread,WM

a friend of ours has an old dog think hes 11 or 12 now, he still catches them but with another dog, he hangs back in the middle of the field waiting fo the young dog to turn it in then takes over and nails them , i now its not fair etc but the old lad enjoys it still.
