Hello to all.
I have come onto this site as I am a great running dog enthusiast.
I have kept lurchers,pure sight hounds and various terriers, I wrote a book back in 1990 (The Working Bedlington).Obviously I have therefore worked this breed but also Staffords,Glen of Imaal,Manchester Terrier,Lakeland and Jack Russell. My running dogs have been predominatly Bedlington blooded Lurchers, but I have worked pure Greyhounds and Whippets, the current dog is a Whippet pup.I also keep and work ferrets, shoot and fished in the past.
I visited Australia 2 years ago with my girlfriend Caroline who has relatives on both the west and east coasts of Oz, I was only too aware of the hunting pig culture you guys have out there.Maybe one day I will get back there to try it myself.
I have judged both working terriers and running dogs in England and regularly write in countrysports publications.Feel free to ask questions and if I can answer them I will be happy to do so.
Friends of mine keep Lurchers with Bull breeding in them, I am sure you Australian dog men would approve.

I look forward to replies.
