My first proper lurcher bought out of the exchange and mart as a seven week old pup in the 70s from a place called Castle Bytham in Lincolnshire. He was a mix of collie/greyhound/Bedlington/Greyhound some of the older lad's I knocked about with said the cross would never catch hares he proved a few wrong.

My first saluki greyhound out of Ginger French's Luke bought as a pup early 90s from a couple in Bacup nr Rochdale no world beater but he made me happy on more than one occasion this day especially as a ten month old sapling nailed the first muntjac he ever set eyes on and coursed.

Talking to an old terrier man/poacher years ago in the Royal Oak in chapeltown and he swore there use to be muntjacs on tankersley golf course
