Maximus Ferret 2,051 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Sorry about the quality lads. I've got an old computer that I can't get into ATM. I'll get round to sorting it sometime and it's got some better pics than these. It's nice to have a few memories when you're getting on a bit. The photo with the hares is 3 taken on one run with a first cross collie grey. Quote Link to post

As a puppy ,looking cute and cheeky.And with my daughter ,looking a bit smug after a show .Though l can't remember what those prizes were for . Certainly not the show ring . A well known lurcher person once said that it was a pity that he didn't grow into his ears because he'd be five MPH faster without all that wind resistance Edited January 18 by comanche 4 1 1 Quote Link to post
