Another time i drove up for a few days ,this is my lurcher Barley which was about 3 yrs old great calm hunting bitch ,good feet, endless stamina ,many years later about 25 yrs old then.

She would work with my ferrets, catch foxes ,hares and pull down some bigger game too .I used her like a gundog too, and 

my all the years i spent hunting by now ,had trained her on stop whistles and all important commands

This is there lurcher on right is her  mum ,and as you see there on nicks hunting grounds the marshs

My New norfolk lurcher puppy bitch from nicks lines 

Had to wait 2 years for her ,worth every bit

14 weeks i guess in her new home in ipswich

So easy to train ,had all the right breeding and my pest control work on rabbits ,in local farms where the happy days.

Didn't start her until 14 months on a few easy myxie rabbits ,carry back to hand alive ,carry back feathers game too 

Took his advice over the years about training and few other good gamekeeper s and it all paid off
