The Yellow Earl.

A good read of a period in english history when hunting and dogs were the norm.

5th Earl of Lonsdale, reputed to have his own strain of working terrier.

A man who lived life to the full.

FF,

 

The story of this mans life you really could not make up.

 

His older brother was schooled to inherit and become the wealthiest man in Britain.

Hugh Lonsdale never remembers a time when he was not in the saddle, he dodged school and went out on his fathers estate, riding, shooting, hunting and living a will life.

A mans life. he loved fighting (Boxing), the Lonsdale belt was named after him.

His father totally ignored him and he grew to love the 70,000 acres around his home. He loved horses, working dogs of every type.

Sold his title and went to America.

 

His brother died and he returned to take over the fortune at a very young age.

Spent the rest of his life blowing all of the money on what he loved.

 

If a terrierman had a dream and won the biggest lottery, you could live the life like this man.

What a life :laugh:
