Fine mate everywhere were really accommodating, 1st time we done it we camped our way along it, 2nd time we walked from point to point and got our gear transported, dogs were always welcome in accommodation

great to see the bond you had with shadow, can see by the pics, you and the dog were  a good team over a good few years, always really sad when you lose old faithfuls, you could always rely on, know how you feel mate, after losing my old deerx grey, only a few weeks ago,like i say the good ones always break our hearts when they go, chin up mate you gave the dog a good life.

Thanks lads yeah they say you only get 1 really special 1 in your life plenty have came and gone but she was the 1... 17 years went strong until the end had her out over the christmas believe it or not she actually caught 1. Guess I shouldn't complain

 

Anybody know of her father by any chance? he was supposedly a famous coursing dog from Scotland I think 29" black dog. My dads buddy is serious breeder he went for a trial with the dog he was 11yo at the time he got some ridiculous amount like 40 odd rabbits few hares and 4 deer so he decided he wanted to cross him for his stamina and size with a full Wicklow collie for brains and what an outcome. 

1 upside my friend has a pup out of her so can still keep the line going

They can Davie, my old bitch I had lurcherx lurcher most whippetx grey, with bit of collie, she still knock few over in the lamp at 12, OK not long hard runs, but she good strike on her, nice size 24 1/2in 50lb good pace caught few daytime hares when young lived till 14. Big old Buck ageing quicker than her, but he lot big dog, and I think big dogs age quicker, sad but true.
