Al be deed by the time full coursing blood is required Love that a line can be traced back so far, and almost always it's because of a dedicated few that tested them to the max. All lines of working dogs will bite the dust if the animals aren't good enough, lurchers or terriers. I'm sure there was a thread about Floyd on here a few years back. Was Romeo of the same blood that Frank added, and if not, what made him your choice? Thanks Quote Link to post

Was Romeo of the same blood that Frank added, and if not, what made him your choice? Thanks No frank brought a bitch up from Blackpool ( sally) he put her to murdo . Murdo was out of rhona ( joe mckenna) x Blacky ( john irvine) . Rhona was bought off terrier men and only made an average hare dog having been introduced at 5 . Blacky was out of old blacky who was out of even older blacky . Mostly hare roe and fallow . Rhona certainly threw pups . Such a hard bitch that made foxes etc look real easy . Edited to say I added romeo for a fast stayer . Get a little more thinking than plain wanting them dead killers wrecking themselves. And of course his breeding is phenomenal. Romeo himself, I've seen and owned better . But his attributes were what I was looking for . To answer your question. Now I'm just an old rat catcher lol Edited May 30 by The drover 3 1 Quote Link to post

Thanks 60 years good going is that and I bet Romeo's breeding isn't far off either thinking about it some good workers all the way through there good to know what's in your dogs going that far back Quote Link to post
