    Saluki crosses excel on big land, but can take hares anywhere .I know several that are not only top drawer on big land ,but first class lampers.

    We used to bump into some guys over Blagdon in the early morning for hares, one of them was called Kevin..might not be the same guy..When Sankey was a younging, he was looking after the assassin when Ron was on his holidays, and Ron had stopped Thorn from killing hares at that point, Sankey took him out and killed 5 in one morning and was frightened to tell Ron, ha, ha,,,

    Always liked that last image charti, for anyone aspiring to one day be a judge, and you here the term, angulation, compare the last two images, great examples of poor and good rear angulation..could be just the way the second last is standing though..

    Got to agree, lofti that dog is in fine fettle and extremely well put together..the way a dog looks is one thing, but the way it looks can also be part of function, that dog looks as if it can run..

    Lurcher x lurcher, the best all rounder Ive seen

    All round lurchers are my passion, Alan like all the coursing lads from here travelled to the Fens to get the work suited to their dogs, the assassin was a one off, a dog of a lifetime in all round ability and Alan will be the first to tell you that, he was suited to the smaller paddock type fields of mid to north Northumberland and the borders..he was an all rounder, not a specialist hare courser..Alan got into the match scene, if I had, I would also have added a saluki cross to my kennels and kept what I had for up here..No one can question what the likes of Sankey, Harrigan, Common, Harry B

    And I can also remember the "Assasin", "Widdrington Train", and a few other dogs back in them old days ! They wern't racers, but boy, could they do a hare !! And there was a lad up your way who had "Johns Rocket" and my old mate "Big Sixer" who had "Tiger Bay" ! Two tremendous Scratch Dogs ! Cheers. Now we are talking dogs...The assassin was a lurcher, half brother to my old bitch Bes owned by Ron Murray, he was half deerhound/greyhound out of Dukes big Blue dog in Bedlington, and Watsons (from the paper shop in Bedlington) lurcher, thought to be a collie cross..the assassin was the

    Alan was just a youngin when I moved to Ashington from Bedlington, he had lurchers then..It might have been his dad Dicky that had whippets, or even his granddad.. chartpolski did you ever run whippets at Newsham..my dad ran them in the early 50`s, Bedlington, Netherton and Ashington on Green Lane Bill, Alan had a dog called Buechephalus, a non ped whippet, and a very handy one it was !! I ran at North Seaton, Ashington, Bedlington, but my main tracks were Coxslodge and Wallsend Rising Sun, where I was Handicapper ! I also helped start Killingworth track, but in thehayday of Whippe
