    Superb, honest statement, proves that you MUST keep the lines tight and not use any old bitch to a top sire. ?

    Saw the dog at a show in Wales with his owner DB, dog is a monster, tall, heavy set, more like a bull x ?. Has been well tested, won matches etc, few pictures of him on FB, Calender Coursing Club page

    The " Blackwater" stuff was Chance to Tiny, and Chance to Belle the Tumbler, i had a pup off both litters, and Chance went to only one other bitch i think. Make no mistake, this breeding was extremely well tested, Tiny and Chance especially, these lads were a close knit bunch all bang at it, there was also a big red dog on the crew called Cue, i had a pup off him too, very game dog sadly killed in the field in his second season.

    It sounds as though you lads up there know him ?, he guaranteed all his bullxs on all quarry, and in the case of Tiny and Chance he was spot on ?

    Honestly don't know pal, the lad told me that he was an old guy in Burnley, but I think it was the same guy who used to advertise in Earth Dog Running Dog, most of the pups and dogs he had were from the Wigan, Manchester, Liverpool area, i actually spoke to him on the phone once myself.

    I knew the lad from Nuneaton who owned Tiny and Chance, I had a bitch out of the Chance /Tiny litter who was killed on deer in the New Forest and i had a dog out of the Bell litter, made 32tts but was very nervey, couldn't trust him with dogs or people, Tiny and Chance came from an old boy who peddled a few dogs from Burnley as pups, Chance was the runt but they were deadly on all quarry.

    Spot on pal, Ive lost two and there's no worse feeling than coming back without your dog, saying that, every time you slip him there's a risk so you have to have a bit of luck on your side sometimes.

    And add some bone meal to his food, makes a big difference, cheap too.

    Yes mate I went last night and I backed two dogs a few weeks ago, one went out in the semis other one was Thorn Falcon at 25s.... Atmosphere was fantastic especially when the whole place sang Sweet Caroline as the finalists came out.. Fair to say the Indian restaurant did well out of us on the way back ??????

    The pheasant..... The most overrated bird that lives...... Reared to be shot by folks who pay well to take a brace home..... I know a lad who is paid to take his JCB and bury hundreds of them each season on a shoot near me as no one wants them...... Pointless, might as well shoot a few clays.

    FAC????....... Is that a F...... A......hole Certificate? ??

    Shooting....... The sport of people who can't condition a running dog ???
  13. zigzag dan
    Exactly pal, at least with the dogs you know if the job has been done or not ?.

    Even more annoying is the shooters who ride round in the summer, shooting at and missing foxes then by September every fox in the area is lamp shy.

    Fully deserved after that entrance..... Left alot quicker than he arrived ??

    I saw Naz in his third pro fight on the Sugar Boy Malinga undercard in Birmingham, he fought a lad using only his one hand in the first round, did summersaults during the break then stopped him in the second when he wanted too..... Never seen anything like it before or after ever ??

    Both in fine condition

    Do you think a greyhound still needs putting back in the line every so often or are the coursing dog lines that established now that you would just keep breeding courser x courser?
  19. zigzag dan
    Cheers pal... You can tell I'm a bull cross man ? but I definitely think Bob added an immense input to the coursing dog world, his name can be found somewhere in plenty of the big names. I have never bought into the "any old greyhound" will do, I have been involved with greyhounds fourty years and the class animals are a different thing to the average ones.

    Swoops sire was Beanie though wasn't it?, making him a grandson of Bob, apologies, yes I made it sound like Beanie sired Joe ?
  21. zigzag dan
    Lol.... To say he could run is a bit like saying Tesco own a corner shop.... To say he didn't produce when he sired Beanie, who then sired Caulfields Jo, then Jack etc makes Bob probably the most influential greyhound ever in coursing lines and i am sure the top coursing men can all find him in their lines..... But opinions are like arseholes we all have one. ??
  22. zigzag dan
    I think Bobs owner was mates with the coursing lads and let them use him... And what a dog to use as Bob has really left his mark in the coursing world.... I know of several well known trainers back then who let some top class greyhounds have a run behind a hare for a bit of sport.... Unknown to their owners ?

    As someone who travelled all over the country to watch him run, Scurlogue is the last one I would use as a sire, he was a thinker, pulled up a couple of times, no doubt he'd have passed some of that onto his pups. Bob broke his heart that night at Wembley, and history has shown that he passed his ability and determination onto his coursing pups

    After reading some of the comments on here I can see how easy it is for Antis, CA, along with the short sightedness of lurcher owners to finally signal the death of the genuine working lurcher. All this " rather sell to non working pet homes" is completely wrong and eventually like alot of working dogs it will be bred out of them. Simple answer, don't breed off shite, only breed when needed, sort your mates out if required, personally I would rather PTS than deny a well bred dog the chance to do what it's bred to do. There's a reason why the same men continually have class livesto
