mackem 23,853 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I enjoyed plummers tales There hasnt been a lurcher writer since who could match him for word-craft,granted his tales stretched the truth elastically but were very readable,he probably got more guys interested in the lurcher game than any other since.

You know what Mackem, your probably right.. Which wasn't always a good thing..!! Yep, fav books; Nathan, Plummer - Not a lurcher book but a damn good tale. Fell Terrier, Plummer - As above. Rougues & Running Dogs, Plummer - The first I read. World of the Working Terrier, Harcombe - Informative & honest. Christ, of all the books out there, only one lurcher book for me...!
