It's the Annaghmore working terrier club and yes the uspca and police did turn up last year due to what appears to have been a malicious hoax call. Of course everything was above board as you would expect with these lads and the show went ahead as planned.

Well folks I've used various treadmills for many years, free running slatmills, adjustable dragmills with a rubber belt, and electric mills. I can tell you I've neither heard of nor seen any dog "sent mad" by such devices. Of course free running, especially after live quarry, is the best and...

A friend of mine in Cheshire has bred a litter and there's a black and white dog pup still available. We brought two dogs and a bitch to Ireland last week from the litter, another friend from the north east got one and the breeder kept two bitches so this pup is the only one thats available to...

Those pix bring back memories BornToHunt, I spent many a happy day roaming with the dogs across Blackmountain, Divis mountain, Wolfhill, Squires hill, Cavehill and beyond. You can forget all your worries up there and it's a great workout for dog and man. :D

You're welcome Murphy, I must say I did'nt find the blue hares much sport as my young bitch had only seen around a dozen hares in total when she had the day on the tops and I remember thinking how easy they were falling to a total novice. However for a young dog or bitch there's nothing like...

Lepus capensis.........brown hare Lepus timidus...........blue hare Lepus timidus hibernicus..........Irish hare You got it Nigelmcfc. A lot of people think the Irish and the blue hare are the same animal. Willow killed 11 out of 11 blue (white) hares in less than 4 hours on the hill, and...

This is Blondie who won the most hotly contested Forley cup in millenium year with 6 hares from 6 runs, making Dancer the only Forley cup winner to produce a Forley cup winner.......both owned, bred and trained by Alan Sankey. Lucky was a very good dog too, I have the tapes and was lucky...

Alec01 the bitch you mentioned was called Sankeys Dancer and she had several good years, winning the Temple Bruer trophy on stoney land as well as the A.L.C. doubled up championship and the Forley cup (single handed) at the age of five, along with other less well publicised events. This is...

Yes I've seen loads of pix on the net of the type of coursing to which you refer tlewis, the dogs wear coloured jackets and there is often a lot of scrub around for the jacks to lose the dogs in. I can imagine that it would take three dogs to be able to keep an eye on the quary darting in and...

Well guys since the ban came in there can obviously be no more Forely competitions and since the videos were made in the PAL format you would need one of those converters to watch them in the states. Here's a pic taken on a mobile phone camera of my home bred bitch Willow after taking 11 out of...

No Mark, I've never been to the Waterloo cup as I live in Northern Ireland and if I'm gonna travel over there I'd rather bring my own dogs and go coursing on the fens ;) . I did attend local greyhound coursing events for many years though. Stark you could contact Alan Tyers of the...

Hi folks, to get back to the original topic of the Forley cup, there seems to be a misconception of the set up judging by the comments such as "unsporting" and "shooting fish in a barrel" etc.. I attend the Forley every year and have run a dog in two finals so far, so perhaps a few facts will...
