I once visited a breeder of Norfolk/Smithfield type lurchers,....his dogs were truly beautiful... He gave me the full story of his dogs ancient linage,..their breeding dating back hundreds of years,..right back to the days of the Cattle Drovers....I kept my lip well buttoned,..I knew,.and he knew,.that I KNEW,.that he was a total bullshitter,.and my hunch was soon confirmed when I saw,...hidden away ,.the fabulous stud dog,... Good old Dougal, the Dulux Dog....great coat them Old English Sheepdogs have.... All the best,.CHALKWARREN... yes this is what ive read from the book regards smithfield norfolk etc and yes thats right the old dulux old english i must admit they look amazing maybe thats as far as it went good looks i was suprised to see them but what hasnt been tried and failed a thing of the past maybe but really nice Quote Link to post
