Aye we know that but he didn’t! And the Russ are not the Russians. Russ was the Viking slang for people that talked like Russians. Quote Link to post

They will jump between 2 & 3 meters into the air, whilst on the sprint. No other gazelle can do that! So why should deer be all the same? You think a CWD is the same as a Fallow? Jog on great at "pronking" but fences are not their thing. Quote Link to post
jukel123 7,957 Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I've watched those videos above. They don't have our belief in a fair course. They have massive numbers of greyhounds matched against a single prey species. Not very British chaps. Not for me at all. 7 Quote Link to post

Maybe they only can do it in short bursts Whippets catch roos, no problems if you are good at stapling, lol. 1 Quote Link to post
