I had and did exactly the same thing, mine was a little black and tan bitch, on a fen just by my house, so I think someone picked mine up, loads of lads coursing driving round here back then, crap do mate.

yeh it pissed me off the not knowing....I hoped a nice family picked her up in the local village.....because she was very good pet dog as well....she had a very relaxed attitude ...

even if I had found her dead in a ditch at least I would have known.....but not a bloody thing.....

I have no idea who bred either dog....it would be nice to know a bit more about my own.....spent 20 mins talking to the fella at the cattle market....then paid my ££ dough and walked away with her.....he told me her breeding was deer/grey x whipp/grey....the guy was from down in heartfordshire ....don't even know his name....

Don't matter what's in them as long as they doing the job,

lurchers we had around wagons,trailers was always lurcher x lurcher and go back to greyhound every now again ,they didn't care as long as they worked .
