    lets not forget anastasia noble,ardkinglass deerhounds, alan wilkinson who used to field some excellent deerhounds and deerhound xs, and john nuttal from holmes chapel,whou used to have an ad regular in old exchange and mart used to breed fom the enterkine strain of deerhounds, had a couple of him years ago price 15 pounds in late 70s.proper coursing strains of deerhound, sadly becoming a thing of the past,but i still rate them for what they are.

    Fred,just my opinion but i would definetly say that dogs and ferrets from a good few years were bred from proper working stock, that were bred by genuine working dog men that used the dogs on all sorts whether it was day light, lamping or coursing and wouldnt tolerate stock that couldnt do the job they wanted them to do, they bred good honest worker to worker including terriers and ferrets, and were not money orientated and pumping litter and litter out of non working stock , and charging telephone numbers for them. the genuine dog men would cull hard . and would gift there dogs to mates and

    i bet it will be somebody that knows your movements knows your kennel set up, or who has come to view any dogs or pups youve had up for sale,or somebody that knows how good a workers your dogs are, cast your mind back and look close to home ,somebody somewhere will know something just bide your time mate, bstards need there hands chopped off, hope you get them back soon atb .

    hope you find a good pup , with decent working bedlington in it, sadly very hard to find these days. i wuld have another tommorrrow if it was bred right, brilliant ferreting, lamping. and general mooching dogs atb in your search mate.

    Dont hear much of trevor cook these days, didnt he get most of bill dohertys doxhope deerhounds when he packed up a few yrs ago, used to go under cookland deerhounds, believe he bred some good stock, any body know if he still going or just breeds the occasional litter atb.

    tats that would have been john nuttall a brother to brian nuttall holmes chapel, always had ad every week in exchange and mart he used to charge 15 pound a pup, bought one of him in the early 70s it was the enterkine strain of working deerhounds, job to find quality stuff these days, last 3 dxgs ive had came from dave platts, current one 12th generation reasonable dog 2yr old, suits me now at my age, will be my last i reckon the way lurcher work is going these days, we were lucky to have walked the walk with the dogs in better times.

    Right lads im no stranger to hunting with dogs, but a mate of mine reckons he shot a hare that was showing the signs of this disease, thought it was only rabbits that caught it , because hares liveabove ground and are mainly solitary creatures, did hear one time that hares can catch something called forest eye which causes them to go blind not certain though.
