 dont ever remember seeing jeff fletcher on tv, but he ran a nice little whippetx grey on the field fare challenge video in the 90s,the dog was called tay and certainly didnt disgrace it self or jeff, as it ran against some good dogs, as jeff stated the dog was bred by him just for abit of racing and general rabbiting, came over as a real gentleman and a good dogman.

Grompz... Don't know were your from but I think the telly programme that Geoff was on was just a Midlands based show called Heart of the Country if I remember right. Mainly about him racing the said dog "Tay" at Chatsworth game fair... Must of been late 80's mid 90's with a guess

heart of the country was on central telly. Tony Francis hosted it, some good bits and bobs on it. all the rabbiting bits was the same old fat chap who did a bit of cooking as well

Fred... That's the programme mate, didn't that old fat chap take after you.? Not by build   but by name, Fred Taylor wasn't it.?

Fred j Taylor. ..Yeh he wrote in the shooting times....ferreting and fishing..

Used to like his articles. ..I remember he like bags for ferrets not boxes...his reasoning was the ferrets made less noise scratching

He was a true gentleman saw a couple of his dogs run in the mid 90,s at a coursing meet put up a good show, liked his stamp of dog big strong powerful types there’s one of his dogs he bred near me it’s a fine example of it’s cross , if I was going to get one I’d go for the 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Whippet bit more substance about them.

Would have a grew in a heart beat... but no seems to bred them.. or advertise them..

3/4 whippet,1/4 grey on both sides.My stag/whippet looks a lot faster but this one covers the ground like a grey more.She has a bomb proof temp and a better striker than my other bitch.The stag cross is moody but better hunter and more bush sense,they work well together though.

Is there many men with them and would like to put some photos  up? If I can source a  reyt one I’ll put over my little Saluki x bitch in time, thanks
