Sniper, was that a rangey wheaten coloured dog, a real beauty and if so how long ago? The reason I ask is that a Douglas bred dog was in the Ormskirk area about 20 odd years back, used to see a bloke with it regular on my way to work, walking down Holborn hill, he was always trying to hide (unsuccessfully!) a hare or two. Never did stop to talk dogs, he always looked like he'd bolt if a car pulled up and I was always late! But I did find out the dogs breeding from a mate in the town.
