redpat1 225 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The terrier one is informative if a little long winded. I have one for sale for £10, only a couple of months old and well worth a punt.lol Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I was disappointed in the The World of the Lurcher: it contained numerous photos that have already been seen in previous lurcher books, and really just re-hashed most of what has been said before. I suppose if you haven't read all the other lurcher books ever published then it is worth a read, and fairly informative in that case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sarcastic ME !!! no not at all mate , as I said its not your exciting tales from the field kind of book , its more for anyone who has an interest in the history and make up of the running dog , it would be knowledgable man who didn,t learn something from this book , an excellent read by a man who knows his dogs .
