Only asking, as I owned a big fawn 28 1/2" greyhound bitch in 1991, that my ex Mrs accidentally let out, and despite me looking for her, had no luck in getting her back.

For a few days I was half expecting a couple of the local farmers to ring me, telling me she'd killed some of their sheep, but no, nothing.

I've heard Moscow was a good dog. There was a Carlisle Minshaw dog called Tartan? I think which I've heard was a veritable hoover for rabbits and other game.

Of course you never know how much exaggeration, sometimes bourne out of enthusiasm and  sometimes out of bull shittery comes into play when mentioning dogs of the past.

My best dog was a 3/4 greyhound/ collie bitch in the 70s. I always look back and think she was the bees' knees, but I forget about the times she hunted up after the lamp was switched off, or the time I was chased by a farmer in a Land rover and she refused to be caught up and ran around looking for game with her eyes flashing like Blackpool illuminations. She did have the knack though. Like most good uns she died young, 6 years old from Cushings.

MR’s tartan 

supposed to have been a very good dog from some credible people

The bitch pup I got is a good character a real good build very racey but sturdy type, one of the dog pups is a cannibal and killed and ate a 5 month old terrier it was kennelled with, the rest seem half normal happy types by all accounts they’re 4 months old now

Was hardly a lad then, mate.

My eldest son was born a few month beforew I acquired that bitch, he's 33 now.

Anyway, we did try a couple of pure greyhounds when I was actually still a lad lol.

They weren't too bad, to be honest.  Not as good as a lurcher or purpose bred dog, but OK.

Ah right, round my way greyhounds were more common than they are now. 

We had bedwellty track, been permanently closed for years now, and ystrad Mynach track, closed for refurbishment for a few years, now called the valley stadium, also swansea greyhound track, also closed.

Yeah, a good purpose bred pup would be my choice

Yeah, not too far, mate.

Only live about a stonesthrow really, from the 'old dog track' on cardiff Road, now.

Used to love going to bedwelly as a youngster.  Seen more than a few dogs take a tumble coming down that sloping part of the track at the far end!!  Lol
