We had terriers and ferrets but this bitch was a game changer for mooching. Lurcher to lurcher cross, she was a dream to work although in part I put that down to the time one can devote at 17 when the world is yet to discover current electronic distraction. She was insanely committed to catching game, near miss accidents were frequent and sadly a tree collision was her undoing. Despite the look of her white beard she didn't make 3 years. Ever since i am not a fan of do or die dogs, better to miss the odd one but die with old bones IMO

These pictures will have been taken on a Kodak instamatic, so frankly a miracle when prints turned out in focus and properly exposed. Ive got a couple more only, with a hare, jumping a gate but that's it. Who else has got pre mobile phone era photos?
