poacher3161 1,766 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Used to hear a lot of tales about eddie jones dog celt never saw it run, anybody seen it work and was it any good. Think Chalks might know a bit, might have written about the dog too. That would be intresting saw its litter brother run hares a few times in the 80s Quote Link to post

A typical Three Quarter bred Greyhound/Collie,...good pace, a phenomenal jumper,...well written about in various early lurcher books... Not much else to say really... . Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,327 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm just assuming, but I think the OP had coursing dogs in mind, when he started the thread ? But as we're talking about all types now; I would probably go for a couple I knew in the 60's & 70's. They were what we called "four trick dogs", hunt, jump, kill & carry ! A dog up here in the N.E., Brin, looked like a Deer/Grey, but could have been any cross; he did it all, day and night. I had a bitch, Tic, in the early 70's when we first got into lamping seriously, and she worked without a slip, carried back, alive, to hand, and was a handy dog in the day time ! A Non-Ped Whippet I had, Blue Prince, was a REAL "all rounder" Raced two or three times a week, with some success, and ran hares, deer and rabbits when he wasn't on the track ! Looking back thru' "rose tinted spectacles" ? Maybe, ... but in years to come, I may look back at one of the dogs I have now, Delta, as the one I'd like to have back !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

That would be intresting saw its litter brother run hares a few times in the 80s A mate in the 's had a dog out of WoolyBear, can't remember the bitch. Sonny, the dog was named, an out an out nasty fecker, except with him, would put most bull crosses to shame, that fecker would kill anything with hair on it. Made a name for itself local, it ran and killed the lot, though not always in the best of ways, getting out one day and killing a Doberman in the middle of a busy shopping centre! Sonny was put to an import Saluki bitch and I took a pup. My dog was too much of a desert dog for me and my game so went to a lad to kill hares but when a mate, who had the litter sister, put that back to a damn good Deerhoundy type lurcher, I got one of those and it was some animal.

HALTY LAD 92 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ive seen one dog in the flesh that has been mentioned on this post, Bud. Proper dog. Did his owner proud that day on some very unforgiving land. A pleasure to watch. Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,327 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Bosun, Delta is now 6 1/2 year old, and I'm toying with the idea of having her mated next time she's in. I've never bred a litter in over 45 years of having running dogs, simply 'cause I thought I could bring better in ! People go on about the Stud Dog.. but what abut the bitch ? It would have to be some dog, that I'd let across Delta, but I think I'd regret never having a pup out of her ! Decisions, decisions !! Cheers. Quote Link to post
