there was a few dogs advertised every week in the exchange and mart, but I firmly believe that 95% of them were of working parents, were as today they are breeding only for cash, you only need to go round the local dog pounds and you will always see a couple of lurchers there, in the 60s and 70s
there were very few lurchers to be found in the dog pound,
A few.I must have been reading a diffrent one to you I think.
