stereotyping is everywhere in society. same if you see a fella walking a pitbull u assume hes a thug. or if hes walking a pink poodle youd think he was gay . i think the branding is most noticable with lurchers, it always has been its a mouching dog, originally bred by gypsys and poachers, unfortunately it isnt going to change anytime soon, so chuck on your rigger boots and flat cap have done with it
