Bit lighter note I was at Bedlington High school as a lad, had and worked a Bedlington named ranger and half Greyhound/Bedlington in my lamping days.  Any way the town has few these up now i pers

If I remember correctly, North Seaton used to run one bend. I had a dog back then, Blue Prince used to love running the bends. 21", 35 pound. Cheers.

Some of the tracks, like Wallsend Rising Sun, had a strict 21" limit; others like Seaton Burn had no limit. I still love to see the no limit scratch racing !

Cheers.

It was the 60's & 70's when I had racing whippets. I remember one of the Charlton brothers had whippets, Tommy, I think it was, at that time.

Cheers.

Fair comment as there are exceptions in all even the odd kc doing a bit , but there’s so few useing them now which is a shame coz get the right type and they stick better than any other terrier

Odd few still do but getting scarce now, might go down the white dog route like others in wales have done , but not sure they take what what a beddy will . Atb
