billy you seem so genuine to me and i wish some others on here would be like you ,ive just got in from lamping and i know mr palmer has seen this thread and decided to ignore it ,but now the truth is out and i suppose he can tell all the lurcher shows how he runs a virtuall greyhound at there events ,this will be interesting??????i think a lot of you on here are to far up each others arses to face the facts and you know me and my number to come to me direct and not bother with bitching behind my back.There is nobody on this forum who could call me a liar as ive told the truthbillyboy45 said:Not a problem.Get out of that one you say.OK where do we start.Firstly,i have never denied to anyone in my life that my dog's n bitches where anything other than what they were,so when i entered them in races,i was at the time racing against mostly other Whippetxgreyhounds,that i might add were brought from here there and just about everywhere to try and beat me,All failed.The only way they could beat me was to get rid of me ,and i wont go into that just yet.When i raced there was a lot of competition,not like the past few years when there been nothing much other than a few collie x to race against.until recently.See i wasnt racing my WhippetxGreyhounds against youre average lurchers,back then,so it was similar to None Peds.Might i add that none of the stuff that was brought across from England to beat me ever beat my own breeding.IN 7 All Ireland under 23,i was unbeaten,with a father and daughter team of my own breeding.When i retired i retired unbeaten,having never lost an under 23 final.If they hadnt got rid of me,i would still be unbeaten.Ithink wee MEGAN proved that at 6 1/2 years of age .And as for giving back my trophies,no problem,titles no problem,so long as everyone else who holds the same titles,only all with 7/8 whippetxgreyhounds,as to my 1/2 breds and 3/4 breds do the same.What i won i won with my own breeding,that i started from scratch,20 years ago.Now,how many of the rest of you's can say that.Miss Ellie came from England,never beat me,Molly Stag came from England,never beat me,Dellboy beat me once,after Silver was Cripled in England,and couldnt run anymore.Many others came and went way back then,and still couldnt beat me .In fact the only person to beat me was Geoff Fletcher,and that was in his back garden n not mine.And over a distance that only Whippets should be running,as my dogs were used to and trained for 500 yrd ers.And Tarn was lamping rabbits the night before ,on the way down,as i forgot the dogs grub.and i have proof of this.She caught 13 rabbits out of about 25 and the white bitch caught the other 5.How many racing men would have done this and would still have dogs to race the next morning.As for taking my pups to lurcher shows,i think most cater for Whippetx now,and if im ever asked by an organizer not to race or show my pups ,then again i will have no problem.I would also like to add ,that i hope you are not refering to myself as moaning and complaining at lurcher shows,as i think ive only ever met you at a few,where i dont think i was taking part in any showing or racing,OH sorry,i did meet you at one show where i was taking part in the racing ,and guess what,i beat youre 7/8,4 times,All Ireland and CHATSWORTH Champion,in the final,with a bitch that couldnt even in my oppinion ,run as she was only 50%fit,and had only ever in my ownership raced 3 times,and i have her from she was 11 months of age.OK I didnt breed her,in fact i only bought her because she was going to a home where dogs had been starved to death,and i wasnt prepared to let this happen.I never raced her till she was 3 years old,as i didnt want to take someone elses glory,and anyway i didnt think she was good enough,as she wouldnt have got near my own breeding.But guess what,she met and beat,what was supposed to be the fastest bitch to ever race over here.Met her once,beat her once.OH and by the way,she is also a 7/8 bitch,before anyone says anything,and i will probibly be breeding her to a Greyhound called Mineola Farloe,next season,so i am taking orders now for my 15/16,pups.Ha Ha,only joking.She will probibly be bred to a coursing Whippet,or 1/2 bred,Maybe even Hellbound,if wee MEGAN'S pups to him make the grade.OOOPPPPSSS,letting out secrets.Darren,you challenged me to get out of that one.(Shouldnt have done that)Things like this, bring the old me back.Sorry mate ,but im not perfect,and never will be. ...Billy...dazgail said:The craic is good. Billy, if you believe that greyhound x whippet crosses are not lurchers i guess you won't be at any lurcher events with your up and coming pups? Ha ha get out of that one and i guess that all the lurcher races and trophies you have won with a greyhound x whippet cross in the past should be handed back and your name removed from the titles.Markbrick, i havn't back tracked on anything....for me a greyhound x whippet will always be a lurcher. If some recognised doggy persons want to segregate different types of lurchers from others that's up to them.
Interesting enough it makes me wonder that those involved in a bit of contoversy and doting i's and t's are the ones who are forever complaining and moaning at the lurcher events. :cheers:
By the way lets all not get too serious and get off our high chairs, its all a bit of banter. :huggles:
