    A lad I know and hunted with a few times owned Fettle as a pup but got rid as he didn’t like the coat ! Cheers.

    That’s correct, my mistake . Max owned both of them . Cheers.

    Right, I’m assured this is the definitive breeding of Maxs bitch ! The coursing bred dog Splodge ; was put over the coursing bred bitch Fettle; This mating produced a broken coated bitch that Max kept; This was then mated to Maxs greyhound, England Expects; Max kept a broken coated bitch; That he then mated to Sky Warrior, a non-ped Whippet scratch dog; This litter then produced the broken coated bitch I saw run today. Fettles genes must be strong in the line to keep the coat going ! Cheers.

    I wasn’t sure if it was Splodge or Captain, I knew Max had connections with both of them . So I wasn’t very far out . Cheers.

    I may not have this quite right, but I know the sire is Sky Warrior who was one of the fastest non-ped whippets ever, and the dam, I think , was bred from one of Maxs greyhounds and a bitch from the coursing dogs Captain and Fettle. Fettle had a “woolly “ coat, possible from Bedlington in its line. I don’t think there was any deerhound in the line. If I’m wrong , I’m sure Max will correct me. Cheers.

    Yeah, there’s a big scar, but no obvious after effects in its running. A very nice bitch, not as big as I thought but very good conformation. Cheers.

    I can put you in touch with some top non-peds if you want to inject a bit of speed into the litter . Cheers.

    Well, we had the “Minshaws”, then the “Whinshaws”, now the “Hullshaws”, all legends in their owners minds ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Because Maxs bitch is bred from coursing stock and sired by a non-ped whippet. It’s you who keep insisting that your coursing bred dogs are faster than the non-peds. Cheers.

    Just do what Max has just done, go to a whippet club and run your dog , run it solo in a time trial or run it against a non/ped off a level break. Please don’t come back with the wet farmland nonsense, we are talking about race dogs , and , in my mind , the top non- peds are the fastest dogs in the world over 150 yards, but, hey ho, we’ve been over this many times before, and the thread is about lurchers at the whippet track…. Hence the title. Cheers.

    “ “Where’s that bloody dog got to now ?” Two days later ; “ where the f**k have you been ? “ Cheers.

    “Get the tent up lads, the dogs will be back in a day or two……..maybe”. Cheers.

    “ Gamer than a bull x, better coat than a deerhound x, faster than a non-ped whippet, is a plane , is it a rocket ? No, it’s a Hullshaw !” LOL ! Cheers.

    Max and I talked about speed, I like as much speed as possible in a lurcher , if it can’t catch up to its quarry, it can’t kill it. Plodders that wear the quarry down are a liability these day, I much prefer a “whizz banger” , on the field and off quickly. My bitch has surprisingly decent speed for her size. Max added non-ped whippet/grey to his coursing bred bitch and if this bitch he ran today is anything to go by , it’s worked, definitely a fast bitch ! Cheers.

    I’ve never run my bitch on the track, she has one job…..and it isn’t racing ! Besides, at over 28” she wouldn’t fit in the traps ! LOL ! Cheers.

    Met up with Max Hardcore at my local whippet club to give his lurcher bitch a couple of trials. Gave it a solo run out of the traps and with a muzzle. It ran well and did a very respectable time. Later on gave it another trial of a level break with a good non-ped racing whippet, again, out of traps with muzzles. A very good race over 150 yards with the lurcher coming from behind to be beaten by just half a length, again in a good time. I enjoyed the morning and the craic, Max certainly knows his running dogs ! Cheers.

    They’ve had all types. They used to run the Yorkshire Game Fair and the EDRD show. They don’t do much now. Cheers.
  18. chartpolski
    Yeah, they have a lot of permission around there and Selby , I’ve done a bit of coursing and lamping with them. Cheers.

    She’s just had a week with her pals in Yorkshire . Mega bus to Leeds then a bus to Pontefract, then met and drove to Helmsley. Not as exotic as her usual trips ! LOL ! Met up with Maxhardcore at the local whippet track to give his lurcher bitch a couple of trials. Cheers.

    Well , you’ve outlasted me , lads, I’m off to bed, the missus is back from her travels tomorrow and I’d better make sure the house is habitable and her house cur is still alive! Im going to the whippets tomorrow and hopefully meet up with an old THL favourite before I pick the wife up. Cheers.

    I love Trippier, but he’s a right back , not a left winger ! Gordon is an out and out left winger so why won’t Southgate pick him ? Cheers.
  22. chartpolski
    That was PSG, funnily enough I couldn’t get a ticket for Dortmund but went “over the Toon” for a drink and a craic with the lads and had a great time in The Clock and The Garter with the German supporters. I posted some pics on here of us and them drinking Brown Ale. Its a funny old life ! Cheers.

    Last time I was at the match , a while ago, I ended up in Tiger Tiger at the Gate with my nephew and his “ultra “ pals. Some prick accused me of jumping the queue at the bar and I took exception. It didn’t end well. Not a good look for a man in his 70’s, so I’ll politely decline your invitation. Cheers.
