Appearances one must consider these seventies Norfolk types they were popular all over east midlands south staffs some travelled further north ,deerhounds cur lines mixed bedlington etc mick Douglass types Defo had some saluki introduced met him spoke ta hi at lambourn some with classic deerhound grey jackets on em to right shaggy coated types that had other breeds in troduced,sheepdogs English types beardie bedlington they in all probability had em all introduced in em and European herders possibly laekanoies etc. They were a jukel bred fa the pot hunter out xed ta greyhounds deerhounds and some Salukis  thy became much more I seen probably about six seven work only two off recent times fab out maybey ten yrs plus ago the others in the seventies  the best was a dog called beanie  owned by an old friend sadly now gone rip bing. These modern types fa me are would be a good base ta breed a type suitable fa ones own personal needs any hound compliments them  which in fact would be about right ,cleaning the blood through ,allways has worked tested breeding tequniques.atb bill

Thanks everyone for opinions and information only reason I asked is I have a pup bred down 4/5 generations starting from mick Douglas Norfolk lurcher lines and was just wondering what their all about as looking forward to seeing how this pup turns out he’s only 6/7 months old atm and hasn’t seen a thing will he waiting till next season before he does much,will he used mainly for ferreting and lamping rabbits but what I’ve read on here he should have potential the 4/5 generations on his dams side we’re all A1 workers so he should be alright

it will be ok mate like any other, carful proper entering be fine, if you put a greyhound to the 70's/80's Norfolk type the saluki/coursing type shows through imho

And I still stand by what I said about that dog and I'll bet you money if you test your rabbit dog a bit more you will soon see it is infact 'Shit shit'

TC's there was a cracking thread a few years back on Merlin & Eve lines, i'm sure that would tell you all you need yo know. Some very knowlagable posters on it that aint here now.

Dig it out, its very good reading.
