  1. not sure why this was a surprise to anyone, if you look at any recent hunter gatherer types, none of them are white
  2. what alot of purebreds and lurchers there's been similar to "Fin" down off Cruise etc
  3. others prob read it, it says on previous page she's on pain killers and vet said bandage her up etc. hope she recovers
  4. mind someone saying all these fancy colours weren't in the breeding untill recently, nudge nudge wink wink....lol
  5. they were trying to sell that chocolate dam not long ago?? neither sire or dam to them pups look to be bred like they are saying?
  6. was reading about him a good while back, found some old articles whilst looking for something, seem useful little dogs
  7. is that SLT called Joe or similar?
  8. looks a canny spot for a wander
  9. haven't read fell terrier, there was a few of his books at home, the others I read came off a mobile library, don't know how many I got through can't of been many, mind telling the nice fella I didn't want to read any more Plummer books
  10. yep, think Canaan was bred at Hancock's (his greyhound was) he had it as a pup then gave it to someone else to run, seems he just put his name on the projects
  11. don't remember the 3/3 thing but mind a pic of Cannaan in a book with something like "a top winning courser" then he writes she's only caught rabbits as there's no hares at Caithness and he's sending her to a friend at Norfolk? mind he was going to breed a top coursing greyhound that worked as a lurcher as well, Emerald Joe green possibly? Had a load helping him but was quickly forgotten about. seemed to go out of his way to slag salukis, but even as a kid it was obvious he had little if any experience of them, years later when he went out with a proper saluki man and his young bitch
  12. living in doesn't stop thousands of years of instinct, "some" feel the cold more but they've generally got crap coats anyway, think you get a better bond imo
  13. yep that's it, shame everyone is like that now though
  14. unless you have some nice pics its just "dog caught a few rabbits, missed a few, the end" for most people. since the recent update anyone can see your pics also
  15. this coat mixed with saluki coat imo
  16. iirc lord Orford died on the field after watching his dog win
  17. Imo they became more popular when a few men started peddling bulldogs off their imports, more bulldogs = more chance of using one. over here in the 90's mind seeing a good few "strong terrier x greyhounds" advertised
  18. lord Orford 1700's.......lol mind bull lurchers being mentioned in old books I read as a kid, written long before 80's
