Stuck in the memory that it was an unusual cross. Foxhound not EBT, my mistake. Nice looking thing though.

It was mate though in all honesty I don't think it was a first x probably a lurcher to lurcher bred dog as we're most lurchers of that era.

Before the books came out and people started to believe what they read , became amateur geneticists and started to try and re-invent the wheel. Not knocking the modern dogs, but the lurcher x lurcher type did/does catch stuff even if being of pedigree unknown. Not a lurcher man though so just my relatively uneducated opinion.

After reading up on the heroics of Merle, no other cross will do.
