Back in the day they sure was a popular type of Lurcher or should I say a fashionable one to have. Every one liked the hairy womble look.
It sure was a different world back then. No social media, id never heard of the internet. Never even owned a mobile phone back then.
All the lads who i knew use to meet at the country shows all over the country during the summer months.
We use to take great pride in showing our workers. Having a drink and socialising on an evening, swapping stories and inviting one another on ground where neither of us had permission.
I'd love to see any pictures you have Will of your Kelly dog or your whippetx collie.
Smelly your quite right about presenting any dog with its first pursuit. Its definitely a fine line that's easily broken.
All you need to remember is there's a big difference between introducing a young immature dog to a kill.
Or letting an immature low in development dog to chase to make a kill.
Any decent dog man will have already starting basic training with any pup around the its food bowl before its even finished its innoculations.
My moto is start them young..
