shotup 9 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 once went to look at some pups a real live romany living in a bow top that had pulled into the lane one summer evening. he showed me the pups first about eight all seven week old living under the bowtop in a kennel with the bitch chained to the wheel.she still had a bit of milk on her as the pups looked a bit keen, anyhow i asked him if the bitch was any good on hares and he uncoupled her and started to walk into the field with all the little mites following.i told him he might ruin the bitch if she had a serius run in that condition but he just smiled. 30 yards away up jumps a hare and the race was on bitch binding up and turning it all over the field just as it was going to get away she turned it from the gate and the hare ran straight back at us, i just stared in disbelief as if rolled and killed it at my feet, the romany smiled and walked over to where i was stood and looking at my face said if you think that was good look over your shoulder, as i looked each one of the pups was carrying a baby levert... true story honest Quote Link to post
