I can remember various rough coated lurcher running around my estate in Faversham in the late 70s early 80s getting shagged by the vaious other mutts that got booted out to run the estate.Us kids used to nick food for them cause we thought they looked starving.It was 10 or so years later when I got into working dogs that I found out from older mates that they were sons and daughters of the legend Toby AKA The hoover.

It's funny I was beating for Charlie W last week it's quite amusing to see all these older fellas being all respectable knowing what a bunch of Herberts they were years ago.

Nice pics marshman, reminds me of my dad who lived & breathed coursing throughout the 70s, mostly with traveling men.....also my earliest memories are of riding in the back of vans with lurchers & hares, no child safety seats for us.....lol

i was a kid in the late seventies and everywere was sniding with hares ,we used to have little contests , was nothing for 4 to 7 people to walk the stubbles and course hare the age group was 14 to mid twenties we had some laughs and got chased by the farmer on some land but hares there was plenty,great days and care free , never thought they would treat you as a criminal for chaseing a hare with a dog,glad ive had plenty ,83 we got norfolk types they could catch a hare good alround dogs,better than what we had before ,we used greyhounds ,mongrels, any thing that ran , great days good read about the hoover
