He is now, but is from Bedlington I remember visiting John almost thirty year ago when he had Becky and Lewis they were a great couple of deerhounds

That one above was a single shot break barrel i only bought it because it looked like a cannon lol

Lifting with hare and roe. Cheers.

There used to be a comp up Scotland where pure Salukis and deerhounds had field classes in the coursing I think they forgot that a lot of folk still coursed pure Salukis

Oooowwwww

I'd park me self were the most game is I liked to run and retire with a smile stiff lol

Yes mate he said the ban f****d the working deerhound as most owners that went to there competitions ect packed it in. real shame for the breed

One of them was he

Bigger legs than you

Mate of mine got the little pump action ones mate, it’s only time I’d even be tempted to own one mate

I reckon ill settle somewhere along that way when I leave in a few years

Ashington or Bedlington, I get mixed up between him and Alan who lives where, but near enough no difference, I lived in a little pit village, East Cramlington in the same area, back in the early 70’s, a great area for lurchers and whippets . The Charltons brother, Sankeys dad and Doherty’s dad all had whippets, as did I. Cheers.

Ashington lad wasn’t he ?

Lovely that , nice touch eh ?

He asked me if he could use pics of my dogs in the second edition of his book and I sent him a cd of pics but the publisher said the pics had been compressed and they couldn’t use them. I used to run whippets on the same tracks as his dad many years ago. Cheers.

There’s a family up next to me that had her stock think they’ve got one male left (doesn’t work ) They used to do a lot of Deerhound coursing competitions with Anastasia. the man had a chord at her funeral

Got my name on one

Out of likes but that’s a cracking pic mate

I used to own this 12g years ago, with the correct cartridge it was no louder than a springer air rifle.

Excellent kev. I hope they sell well for you mate .

Sent me a lovely letter when I ordered his book as a youngster many years ago , advising me that it was a rough old game the dogs and to stick to what was right and not be influenced by what other people thought

You having any litters out of her
