They were great shows in Wigan back then, a who's who of both the hunting world and bull world.
Some serious dogs and serious owners in the bull ring...
As i said in my earlier post, there were plenty of decent single handed bull blooded lurchers before Pye and in his lifetime BUT the Pye dog had made a name for himself by his actions, in the field... Nothing else, just by graft.
And as i also said in my last post, i had/have little idea about any other named bull bloods in other parts of the country BUT in the North West, at that time, there was NOTHING that came close..!!
