Tay was 5/8 greyhound 3/8 whippet weighed 49/50lbs & stood 24 1/2", I bred a litter 6 months ago & kept back a smaller version of Tay, she's about 20" tts & weighs 29lb a very stocky bitch.

should of caught there hare anyhow doubled up

You must have led a sheltered life craig, I've seen hundreds of saluki type dogs doubled up over the years and didn't catch the hare that they was slipped on.

Fair play Geoff - in regards to all 3 clips and that Zak had amazing speed!

 

One thing though. I don't know if you can or not but I'd try and change the title of the uncut field fare challenge clip to say that it's uncut otherwise they both have exactly the same name on youtube and people that haven't read this thread won't know if there's a difference or not. That's just me being picky an slightly OCD though

She's a nice solid young bitch,what age do they have to be before they can run on the track

Good clips..

 

Cheers for firing them up fella

 

I am sure my dog would of been lying in the ditch,after two on the bounce. Mind mine are just curs

 

What other delights do you have on VHS

black dog got blown away and chucked the towel in while the red dog was still on the hare thats how it looks from here? good to see some old footage though

Tay ,the black dog had explosive early pace, but lacked the stamina of the other dog ,[think it was Gary Lee's saluki x Sargeant].

Tay put everything he had into the original course , you can see he is" rocking horsing", at the end of it, but still trying to chase.

 

.When the fresh hare jumps, he tries to continue but has absolutely nothing left, no shame in that.

I saw Tay run on the fens when he was older , and a little past his best because of injuries , he ran a brother to a dog of mine.

He was a genuine dog, and owned by a genuine fella.

my opinion mate. They had the hare in circles an look like they could of

Had it a few times.not knockin the dogs at all.

[bendrover 556]

whos to say the red dog would have got to that first hare . black dog did fantastic on that ground considering its breeding .

[Desmond 480]

 

Was just wondering geoff did you continue to run Tay on hares,and do you still keep the same line of dogs

 

That little dog couldn't half run

This is one of mine in 2003 breaking the track record, he's in the black jacket, he knocked rabbits over for fun, he went back 4 generations to Country Music

[Desmond 480]

I agree

Thanks Sam, I'll do it now, if it will let me

[sowhat 1,572]

It's surprising how many people think that if you race your dogs, that you don't work them when the miners strike was on, we had meat on the plate 5 days a week, and I mean meat I've even been to jail for poaching in the 70s.

 

ps I jumped for joy today when it came on the radio that the witch Maggie Thatcher had died , unfortunately it was peacefully

[bendrover 556]

was 15 during the strke mate . same as you . poaching the land got us bye and another mining family that didnt hunt . hope shes feeling the heat where she is now .atb
