Best hunt up lurcher I had had beardie and border in it. Brilliant thick skin, got tangled in a roll of barbed wire once and came off very well considering. Never had any problems with his feet and he cost nothing in vet bills, very robust dog. He loved to hunt, nose down eyes up, great to watch. Most laid back dog at home you could wish for at home. By no means a pre ban hare dog , but a 1st class dog for mooching and lamping. I never bothered with foxes, but by christ he could find them.
