mine was 32 years ago ,a beddy x whippetx grey , it was pure crap , what ever a lurcher should do this fooker didn't ,t was very hard mouth, very deaf unless it was its called in for dinner, and anything on 4 legs be it sheep, dogs, cows , it would go for them. in fact I nearly packed it up there+then, but it had hard pad and it feet kept bad feet splitting open , so after 10 months +treatment put it down, and had since then colliex greys, bullx greys , and got Alsatian x grey now .! I was 30 back then, but looking back , I never enjoyed lurchers as much as our bull breeds we had then , staffs, pits, bullmastiffs , maybe choose the wrong type of dog , but only kept them to do a job, not as pets . but will prob always have one now knocking about as pet or working dog , finally got used to them lol

About 1988 got my first supposed dog for my birthday although I was 9 at the time so my old man did most of the work with her until I was old enough. She was a terrier Russell x fell type, peg was her name she was a cracking dog, only allowed in the kitchen at night I still remember I used to sit in the seat closest to the kitchen and she would creep into the front room when we all watching TV and hide at the side if me out of sight whilst I gave her a rub. If anybody got up she would sneak off back into the kitchen lol we had a mutual agreement and if either if us got caught we were in trouble, we never did. Great dog great memories, she started fitted when about 10 year old I never forget the first time she did it in front of me, broke my heart when she had to be Pts

My first dog was a short legged Russell with serious mental issues back in 88 also called topper! I was 14 at the time and if I remember rightly he cost £75. Hell of a good terrier and boy did he get me into a lot of trouble!
