honestly i couldn't say. i was only little when we had him, we used to take him with us to coursing events, but dad never ran him there, and dad was always a bit of a solo hunter, if he took anyone out with him it was his best friend, never me! all i really have to go on is the steady stream of people through our garden at 3am, poking about our kennels trying to steal him ! that dog had quite a reputation by all accounts!

dad was pissed as a b*ll*ck when he brought Jacko home, he was so drunk he didn't bother to check if he was a dog or a bitch (we only had bitches at the time ). dad was given him to give to me to keep me company after my brother was born. he was bred by my dads best friend, a saluki dog over a greyhound bitch. don't know anything about the parents, and i doubt dad does either, he was that pissed! turned out to be a good'un though. we still have his grandaughter & great grandson.

we put Jack over a big brindle greyhound bitch, she produced 16 puppies , lost 2 (still, feeding 14 nearly bankrupted us! ). we kept back a dog & a bitch, put a collie x grey over the bitch. that's how the grandaughter is bred. she's 26", black with brindle front legs. she's getting on a bit now, but i know she's taken deer (with help from the other dogs) & hare, and gave dad a rather pleasant surprise a couple of weeks before she turned 8 - she was out for a bit of exercise on dads permission, vanished & returned with a hare!

the sister of that bitch was bred back to the collie x grey, producing the grandson, big black shaggy thing with white socks on his front legs. he's about 26" too. not seen much action, but takes rabbits. he's become more of a pet really. last of the line, i'd love to have that dog & work him seriously, but dad won't part with him.

like i've said before, i was a tiddler when we had Jack, so my recollections of his hunting prowess are sketchy to say the least. i do remember dad rolling home one day with a jack and another dog, and a deer in the back of the car, and grandad giving him a bollocking for going out without a knife to finish it off with!

 

love the one of him looking down at the lad

that's my little bro, i think he was about 3 in that pic. can you tell mum liked making clothes for us?
