A guy named Jeff Burrell used to advertise these,as been in the family for generations etc,a fellow I know bought one it was less than satisfactory,and looked like a Husky cross,curiously I was told Burrells mate breeds Huskies,thats all I have to say on this subject.

Yep Inan, thats what I heard, seen these advertised in the Countrymans a number of years back an wondered what they were, 'Tumbler'....like a lurcher......Interestin?? But unlike...'Norfolk' type which still has the word 'lurcher' stuck with it these things were just 'Tumblers' ......????

Did a bit of fishin, spoke to the man, far from the mythical beasts as advertised, they seemed to have all an sundry in 'em, take a fox I asked...oh yer, specially the ones with 'Huskie' in 'em.......

I'm sure some are damn good workers, just ain't what it said on the tin!!

Where are the pictures of yours?

 

 

What is a 'Tumbler'?... I have read different descriptions/claims and I'm a little confused! ..Burrell wrote on his web site, "Ben(right) is a specialist rabbit dog with superior agility and acceleration (for short dashes in small spaces). Sam (left) is 'up on the leg' with ground covering stride, more suited to hares in open spaces". Both the descritions refere to litter mates!...So according to "Lurcher expert Jeff" my Meg's must be a Tumbler...

 

 

She's certainly agile enough....

 

 

Determined....

 

 

With plenty of speed...for long dash's in open spaces..

Didn't have space for more pic's above..

 

Round my way it's a bit dodgy for me to run the Hare, the area is all game estates and I've worked all the big ones and some small estates, so I keep to the humble coney....

 

 

If there are any invites to run my 'tumbler' this season to see what she can do.. I'd love the opportunity to get some more pictures of other peoples lurchers or whatever you want to call them..
