if you read his ramblings you will see the man is obviously a trumpet,also crediting himself with putting the travelers onto saluki greyhounds years ago,when they were all running deerhound xs,he also mentions outcrossing a saluki greyound into his strain as it killed 50 hares by 16 months,well norfolks etc dont have this blood,

he also mentions ,that what the modern match lads have recreated is the same as what lord orford did in the 1700's to the greyhound,well orford introduced old type bulldog blood into the grey not saluki,i think the old strains like norfolk have died out years ago,some people may say they have norfolk etc,but i think they just of norfolk type ,ie long rough coat,and not the real old stuff.that guy also charges 300 quid a pup,hes just trying to make money of the romantic images of the past
