who was the best,out of theses two men both at the top of there game,who bred the best and won the most matches out of theses men,

[BOLIO1 1,078]

They were/are both top men but to try to place one above the other is not relevant. Both men will have had other strings to their bow. I've known Alan since first visiting with him in the 80's and he impressed me with his dedication to whatever he applied himself to even then. No television for him.....work, dinner, dogwork, bed......! I'm sure Craig was the same. Both these men have enough sense to respect each other. I remember the 1998 Forley when some of the hangers on were trying to take bets that Foxy would win on the strength of her match record. But these yearly comps were not matches. A designated slipper was employed to ensure fair law and in the end Alans Dancer killed the most hares.....a week after she had won the doubled up comp....which may well have favoured speedy dogs against "fen plodders". Dancer won it both ways......and the Temple Bruer on hard stoney going the previous season!

I think Craig has bred more pups....but whatever....both these men stand atop the pinnacle of U.K. lurcher coursing history, i.m.h.o.

both these men are legends of the coursing world

Respect to you Bolio.....

 

Both men are legends in the coursing world. That's all we need to know. :victory:

 

They were champions at a time when winning meant running against some top dogs. :thumbs:

And hares were given fair law, not slipped on as soon as they left their forms, or were kicked up with the dog slipped before they were even into their stride.
