Were they as good as they say or did they just seem that way because they were far superior to the traditional deerhound x collie x ect that made them seem so good. 
 

kinda like football the older guys will always say the players and teams were better back in the day than they are now. 
 

@mC HULL I know you said they ran them more back in the day but how much more twice a week is enough for any daytime dog giving quality runs and sometimes 3 times a week there's still plenty of boys doing that just now add that in with all the knowledge people can get of the internet with conditioning dogs properly and feeding them ect ect ....surely the standard and wellbeing of dogs have improved a bit or we are going backwards 

i mean they were out daily not always the same dog a well looked after dog is just that mate plenty looked after them same as loads now dont flees worms etc rife still aint it 

mid say the dogs are more stylish now

No better feeling than bringing a dog on from a pup...giving them a spin at 10/11 month old and  watching it take it's first rabbit/fox/deer etc...no drug comes close Neck😔

A pic of a few dogs owned by London lads in the past. The white bitch was the litter sister to the great grand dam to lucky the dark destroyer i believe. The brindle bitch was a fx saluki greyhound. 

Mate my Wheaton x bitch is 27 tts and 80/90 lb fighting weight...had her out ferreting from first jabs with longnets etc,around the harris/gos hawks, she's done everything you would use a whippet/smal

thankfully the north east lads knew dogs and bred some world beaters from the blood and still some with it thats killing today generations of hare killers 

Funny that soo did we was breeding from pures years ago two famous pure dogs down here called warrior and alloe 

both dogs oddly enough used to run at rye house and stay with the greyhounds

 

then you had the guy from Croydon who years and years ago had and run pure salukis
