Years ago a Greyhound Coursing enthusiast Lord Orford put apbt into his Coursing Greyhound Strain and gradually put them back to Pure Coursing Greyhounds till they were only a tad PBT.

He was very successful and his lines still manifest in todays lines.

A bloke i helped with his Greyhounds in the early ninetys had a Dog named Miller.

The first time i saw it i thought it was a 3/4 grey 1/4 pit ( a stunning greyhound and pure )

Definatley a throwback to Orfords Strain.

 

 

Would this Miller dog have been called "Mick the Miller"?

Mick the Miller 1926-1939.

Mate you are wrong in the 1700's Lord Orford set out to inproving the Greyhound Lord Orford crossed Bulldog to Greyhound not Pit Bull the bulldog in that time looked like todays pit bulls as with Whippets have a outcross of Staffordshire Bull Terrier

So i was right ? The Bulldoges of the day looked liked todays Pitbulls that was my point because most bulllbreeds of today are fecked especially Bulldogges.

Anyways Orford did what i said he put Bull blood into his strain of coursing Greyhounds, Yes or No ?

Yes mate he did
