Interesting photograph. The dog has a very saluki look to it but an old picture. Not the canny collie types that we tend to associate with traveller people from the past.

I thought the same about the saluki.

I have a feeling i've seen it in a book many years ago and they were Norfolk warreners and if so chances are they are from the Breckland area of Norfolk as that was where most of the massive managed warrens were,there's still a few rabbit castles/keeps about up there where they used to keep the rabbits they had killed as they were worth a lot of money...

It's in a book called the "rabbit" and it's definitely Norfolk and like fireman says its probably breckland, they was Warren's all over the UK not just Norfolk, I was at the estate house looking at old maps and one had drawings of rabbits running around the edge of the map and they was several Warren's marked down ,the main one being Triangaler lodge and other one was weekly rabbit warren ,

Triangaler lodge is still standing and still as coney on its grounds ,the rabbit wasn't a pest back then but a valuable food source and also the pelts

The tash came out quite comical as it turns out they are really hard to do. But here's my effort, the clothing should be accurate. 

Happy to stop posting them here if people are tired of it
