Yes,. .Anastasia produced a better class of Deerhound for the original job, and some, were even passable at organised hare coursing,.. (although it was never their proper vocation).. Back in the

Didn't one or two of them soldiers stay out 30 year or something....like one of mchull dogs reeling a hare in...lol

I was the judge and gave it “Champion Lurcher” , based solely on looks, condition, conformation and temperament. Its impossible to judge on working ability unless you have personally seen the dog

I wished I'd kept a game and fish book. I remember Vic Minshaw showing me his ....complete with photos about 40 years back. Geez those lads killed some gear. They didn't work so they were at it every night all over the country. It would have been good evidence for the police lol.

As far as sheep are concerned I've always bollocked my dogs if they even look at sheep, no matter what age they are. Some dogs seem to know instinctively that they are not permitted  prey animals and some have to be constantly reminded. I had a big whippet that avoided sheep but always took a sneaky interest. She rioted one morning and pulled down  a sheep at 6 years old! I never trust a lurcher with sheep.

Vic showed me and his photo albums . Plenty of stuff put to bed. I had a grandson out of blue
