Hi all when I was growing up I heard stories off my dad and his friends bout George Kelly bout his dogs etc

Has anyone ever met him got pics or stories of him and his dogs

I heard of him through somebody else back in the late 80's , I nearly bought a blue whippet from him.

Yeah you're right there fdr. Some real good fellas around back then, but not that many. Now you can hardly go for a walk without seeing at least half a dozen lurchers or running dog of some type. And I've got to say it, in those days, even though I'm a tad nervous as to whether I should write this, for fear of nasty reprisals, .............. but not a bull x to be seen! lol .

Just kidding lads, I don't actually mind them as much as I make out lol
