came across this old picture this morning , 1990 i think, as i was just starting an extention on my house ,they were all full time lampers ,they never done anything else ,the rough dog on the left was never bettered in this area,not a fast dog but a good engine ,a second gear ,and a great strike, the bitch i'am stroking was class to , i had two matchs with her ,two lads came down from wales with a couple of dogs, they told me to pick witch one i wanted to run against ,i said any , but it didn't matter cuz she pissed the pair of them ,they blamed the land , weather ,but there was no rematch,the other was a lad from Derby ,his dog done well ,but he still had to put his hand in his pocket, the third dog was bigger than the other two and probably better but i was starting to earn a lot of money so i had to be in bed at nights ,dont no what the final tally would be for the three of them ,more than a few i think.
