moutain hares are easy caught iv seen boys carrying there dogs off the hills the heather pulls the legs out off them and iv been out with the travellers on many occasions very silly as i was only a young boy and they could have thrown me out the van at anytime and keep my dogs i sold the 2 white dogs in the field to them they also offered 2 grand for kess but no way was she going aywhere could have done with the cash back then but dogs like that dont come along too often i was too skint to put money on her or i could have made tens of thousands travellers are big money men when it comes to coursing i only got 160 quid for the 2 whites but they were sub standard compared to the other 2

[blaz]

hears 2 of my old lurchers glen in foreground pepper at the back.glen was unbeaten on day time hares against all comers over the years.pepper got sold to boys from fife that long ago i can,t mind their names. glen was also midlothian and district champion and lauderdale and district res champion in show ring. he also took on some top dogs at racing up hill after a lure and won 4 out 4 races that day. bearded collie x greyhound dam stag greyhound sire glen 27 and a half in to shoulder pepper 26in to shoulder.also won lauderdale pairs with them in show.both where kept very fit when all fields frozen solid by chasing the hare at wallyford dog track.think only photo i have of them

nice dogs and i taken a 1st at lauderdale show with the red mearle and i know all about travellers they stole price and our wee terrier the ones that used go kirkcaldy but we got a couple boys we knew marched on to there camp and taken our dogs back i wasnt there but my dad and a few his m8ts were and we got our dogs back no problem story can be confirmed if you think im full off it

[blaz]

i went out with travelers/gypsies hunting with the dogs years back i had glen with me. we where at a place called drem.we got in the the fields and slipped the dogs . the travelers dogs where hunting the ground about 40 /50 yards in front of us as glen normally did.this day he disappeared from site. the biggest guy their started ranting and going of his nut because glen was out of site for a fair bit. i thought then i was going to get done in.so walked a bit a head of them and to be truthful was ready for the off well 1 of me and 4 of them f{@@@' that. i got to the corner of field and looked up in to the other field theirs glen toiling to drag back a roe deer.i was quick back to the 4 of them and said the only time Glen is gone this long is if he brings down a deer . well that sent the biggest of them in to a rage .i kept well out his way.as we got to the corner of field i let 1 of them point out glen and the roe deer. after that i was safe and top notch and glen was a top class dog and even the biggest of them was now wanting to be my new best friend.
