langouroux 14 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Hello boys and girls, Just thought I would start a thread for those people out there that have had running dogs for years, you can show off your dogs that maybe gone but not forgotten . Doesn’t matter if your dogs were used for rabbits or roe lets see them. But please state all pre ban pics are what you say they are! I am interested if old dogs look much different to "modern" day lurchers etc i would love to see any pics of people / grand parents working their dogs pre world war 2 Happy Hunting langouroux Edited January 2, 2011 by langouroux Quote Link to post
