Thats the story Frank......bout 20 years ago, used to see a bloke walking a beautiful fawn dog on my way to work, early shift, frequently he'd be carryin a hare or two, stopped him for a chat (well ya just gotta ain't ya!). The dog was off Mick Douglas an he confirmed the way he lived.
As far as 'Norfolk' lurcher goes, yep, his dog was from Norfolk but it's a 'type', referring to looks rather than a 'breed', though by the game this bloke caught, seemed like a very handy type, i'm sure.
