  2. Caroline Gentry won the uk show final in 84 or 85 judged by Col Welsh held at Towcester, don't remember Grebe, but remember Mr & Mrs Kitcher, I think he repaired lawn mowers, and I have the vision of her judging in a pair of wellies, on a steaming hot day lol

  6. This photo was taken at our lurcher club in the 80s, it was one of the biggest lurcher clubs in the country, the Bolsover Working Lurcher Club. My racing victories got me the nick name the 'Beast of Bolsover' after the MP 'Dennis Skinner' one of the Clay Cross rebels who refused to pay their poll tax or was it their council rates
  7. Another from the past, me old mate Pat Mathews, he also knew how to get a dog fit for racing and the high jump top left

This show ground was at Maltby South Yorkshire, not far from where Maltby whippet club is now. The picture on the right was taken at Crickhowell Powys South Wales. This was the venue for the UK show championships in 1986, on the left is David Gaydon with his bitch Queen who took reserve show champion of champions. Me on the right with our Sally, taking Supreme show champion of champions Phil Lloyd was judging that day. This show & racing went on to become Chatsworth run by the NLRC.

  12. Do you have, or can you get a FB size please
  13. Put your bitch on Norethisterone 5mg daily, if you keep a record of her last season ie what date she broke, start giving her the pill a month before she's due to break again, then take her off it after the hunting season. I find it has no side effects with my bitches.
  14. Good luck with the sale of your pups
  15. George Drake, one of the best, is in that area
  16. Whippet x Greyhounds, like any other cross vary in size, some throw back to the whippet, and vice versa. My biggest grew stands about 24" and my smallest , 20", both out of the same litter. Mine have always been used for general mooching and they do ok Little & Large lol
