like i said to you south yorkshire flapping tracks nd greyhound tracks are full of these dogs so why use coursing stock?to breed lurchers?when i said this you answered me in block caps nd wall bash,now your praising said places,nd lurchers all lovely pic's most info i have enjoyed,i used to love to read old sammy stuff,nd grews as a baseline for lurchers works just as good as coursing bloodlines :o sorry to point this out as you do know your stuff :angel:

Hi mate, I made lots of copies and handed them out to people who were around at the time,(1972 I think). I still see some of the people who were on that film, and the lad that had Sally is now into horses and still keeps a Beddy/Whippet around his stables. Sally was only around 26lb and had pleanty Collie in her and could catch a hare, and as he says on the film, she did 8.70's for 150yds, not a bad time for what was essentialy a Lurcher, back then !! I've been to Westerhope Whippets this morning, and will be at the Rising Sun tomorrow, but it's nothing like back then !!

 

Cheers.

:clapper: Well done chartpolski for sourcing that lovely piece of film,..and Whippet x Grey for making it accessible.. :clapper:

 

Brought back so many memories...

 

I was never a racing man,..but, several of my rabbiting pals turned to the game,..whilst I took another route,,...but,.I can certainly see the attraction that caused them to go,.'whippet mad'... :D

 

Super thread lads,...great times,.great days,.long may they continue...

 

All the best,..CHALKWARREN... :thumbs:
