Tomo hit the nail squarely on the head,coal-mines and heavy industry,working-class districts always have more working dogs than middle class or upper class,when I was a kid there were loads of pigeon duckets,lurchers,terriers,ferrets around,plebian sports for the average guy that didnt cost a fortune,I live in a very nice area now,I maybe see one or two lurchers a year being walked if that?

Also a lot of my old mates who still live up-north have gotten their children into the sports,my mate in p/well shaun(a few of you know him)now keeps BOP's but his lads are into lurchers,Clucky also now has BOP's but his son has a dog,its sometimes a generational thing with the interests passed down.

Where I grew up in Lancashire, there was terriers and lurchers in every backyard. Or it seeemed like it anyway. No wonder there was a shortage of game around and we pretty much always used to have to travel for sport.
