I can remember watching videos mate in the late 80s of the Lancashire lad's a few names spring to mind John Lennon and remember some one called boozer and bolio on them and they had competitions between themselves. I would say back then most of their dogs were mostly just greyhound saluki hybrids with not much else in them and I believe it's when other hybrids got crossed into the saluki hybrids that better hare killing dogs were produced. Another chap i remember on them old videos was i believe an ex Liverpool player and had a pub around Manchester way.

Something must be wrong if the dogs were better then, that would mean the modern breeders don't have a clue what they're doing?
