    NO TOMMY RILEY HAD A COUPLE OF GREYHOUNDS TIED UP. TRACK CAST OFF`S. REMEMBER HE USED TO ADVERTISE 3/4 GREY, 1/4 DEERHOUNDS THAT HE`D GUARANTEE WOULD TAKE 2 FROM 3 HARES AT £200 EACH OR YOUR MONEY BACK. this was during the Plummer Saluki greyhound debate bout 1990 WHEN COURSING & SALUKI TYPES CAME MORE IN TO FASHION

    dont think there was anything said about coursing competition why have a dog that will lamp another dog for ferreting coursing and charlie one dog for everything atb I WAS MAKING A GENERAL COMPARISON ON LAMPING & COURSING. MIND YOU I " dont think there was anything said about" EITHER "ferreting" OR "charlie" NOW YOU MENTION IT???????????

    Never a truer word spoken.atb dell :laugh: so a greyhound has none of them??? "good feet" IS CERTAINLY ONE IT WONT HAVE would you say these are not good feet then Hard to say stewie, any photos without the trainers? I WOULD SAY LOVELY FEET, & A LOVELY HOUND COAT WITHOUT A RIP TEAR OR ANY SORT OF DAMAGE A DOG THAT SEES SOME HARD WORK WOULD HAVE. MAYBE THE DOGS BEEN LUCKY SO FAR????WHY DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE A TROUGH OR TAP AT A TRACK TO WASH THE DOGS FEET AFTER A RACE????

    optimus your either reading from a book or your as old as me couldn't agree more i raced against some of these dogs more than 20 yrs ago, undoubted quality. thanks for making me feel old still great memories IT`S FROM A HARDBLOOD PEDIGREE OF MY BROOD BITCH MATE. I,D CHOOSE A DECENT SIZED HARDBLOOD OVER A PURE GREYHOUND ANYDAY, BUT I WILL STICK MY KNECK OUT HERE FOR 1 MAN & THAT IS BOB PATERSSON,aka/Whippet/Greyhound, HE IS A VERY DECENT GENUINE GUY & HAS AN EXCELLENT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF HARDBLOODS. THE GAME NEEDS MORE LIKE HIM

    IF YOU KEEP BREEDING LURCHER TO LURCHER YOU GET REGRESSION & LOSE SHARPNESS & PACE. COL TED WALSH STATED THIS YEARS AGO THAT YOU NEEDED TO BREED IN PURE SIGHTHOUND EVERY FEW GENERATIONS. YOU WILL SEE MORE OF THIS AS THE LURCHER GENE POOL DIMINISHES UNDER CURRENT LEGISLATION OPT-Dam straight as long as the breedings taking place are utilizing the right dogs, especialy the Greyhound side. I BRED AN OPEN CLASS BITCH, & I ONLY GOT HER BECAUSE SHE WAS TO GO TO IRELAND TO BE MATED & COULDNT BECAUSE OF FOOT & MOUTH. I CALLED IN A HUGE FAVOUR & GOT HER,BIG STRONG WELL B

WHEN ANN WAS MATED TO WHIPPET BLOOD SHE PRODUCED HARDBLOOD NATIONAL CHAMPIONS SUCH AS N/CHAMP MADIEROS.N/C CASTLEMAINE XXXX, N/CHAMP///RACING CHAMP DOUBLEXX...N/CH CHEYANNE TO NAME BUT A FEW & HER OFFSPRING CONTINUED TO PRODUCE QUALITY ANIMALS, MANY YOU WILL FIND IN LURCHER TODAYS STRAINS

    HARDBLOOD IS A NON PED WHIPPET (WHIPPET/GREYHOUND) RAN UNDER NWRF OR BWRA RULES. RAN AGAINST DOGS IN SAME WEIGHT CATEGORY IN EITHER STRAIGHTS OR BENDS RACES

    Maybe i am making assumtions, you're right, i shouldn't do, but like i said i'm new to this and can only go on what i've read. I was asking mainl i nreference to his breeding Sorry fo being a tit! Whin you sound like an arsehole. Like the lad said."he's new to it" so why be a c**t? The lad only asked for knowledge on a certain line And the question he asked was relative to the toppic. Anyway, carry on lads good reading on this thread... Thanks mate - i really enjoy reading what you lot have to say, facinating stuff - don't want to piss anyone off... Batter in Hamish

    AS I SEE IT, WITHOUT THE TRIALS ETC SEIZER DOGS BEGAN TO DWINDLE. THE EMERGENCE OF THE APBT CHANGED MANY THINGS FOR OUR NATIVE BREEDS. ANYWAY WHY HAVE A DOG TO DRAW AT A DIG WHEN A STRONG LURCHER CAN DO THAT & BE A RUNNING DOG ALSO???

    Nice well put together animal optimus that wheaten/grey at the top did it make anything workwise ?? WELL HE WAS OVER IN IRELAND, & SPECIFICS ARE NOT FOR A PUBLIC FORUM, YES HE DONE A JOB. HE WOULDNT LINE A GREYHOUND BITCH IN SEASON SO SHE WAS PUT IN WITH THE DOG AS A LAST RESORT. COME MORNING THE BITCH WAS DEAD. I WAITED YEARS FOR A 3/4 BRED FROM HIM, IT NEVER HAPPENED. DECIDED THAT GAME WASNT FOR ME, BUT I STILL ALWAYS FANCIED A 3/4 BRED. WHEATENS CAME BACK IN FASHION MIDDLE 90,s BUT MANY SOLD WERENT GENUINE. I VISITED THIS BREEDER WHEN ON HOLIDAY IN DUBLIN, SO I KNEW HIS BREEDING WAS

    the dog would do those few miles while going out and looking for the runs it needs to be fit. Also the guys who live around my area who ran and still run the big land have it good. Its moorland, and there is nothing better than to work a dog on rough big uplands to get it fit. Much more demanding on muscles than the flat land(till they get behind something). Also remember that each and every dog is different, and some salukis have weight problems were they cant hold any. And it drops off them with in 5 mins.. TRUE WORDS TO A POINT MATE. TOO MUCH RUNNING UPHILL USES THE DOGS MUS

    YEARS AGO WE WERE SPOONFED HYPE THAT HALF X`s WERE THE ULTIMATE HARE DOGS WITH STAMINA TO SPARE. FACT IS THAT MANY HALF CROSSES ARE PACY ANIMALS & DONT HAVE THE STAMINA TO RUN ALL DAY. PEOPLE BEGAN TO REALISE THIS WHEN THE COURSING SCENE BECAME PUBLIC IN THE 90`s WITH VIDEOS & MORE ACCURATE WRITERS ON THE SUBJECT IN EARTH DOG RUNNING DOG ETC. HERE IS THE FIRST HALF X SALUKI/GREYHOUND I EVER REALLY EXPERIENCED & HANDLED IN 1991. PLUMMERS CANNAN

    LOL! 8 MONTH(approx) LOOK AT THE KNUCKLE, & I LIKE A GROWING DOG WITH SOME BEEF ON IT...THATS HIS BROTHER IN THE SLIPS AT THE ALC FINAL Aye, some knuckle for 8 months I also like a growing dog to be constantly chubby, you know they are getting all the goodness that way HE MADE 28 inch, HIS BROTHER ABEL WAS 29inch ...... fucksake, must admit, I like a big dog myself. Not as much call for it now right enough.... DECEPTIVE, THEY COULD STRIKE A HARE. BIGGER STUFF WAS EASY. THE 29inch DOG WOULD KILL A DOG IF IT STARTED ON HIM, HE WOULD FINISH
