Brian Plummer Lurcher

[Gin 498]

There is a debate on another forum regarding the type of cross that Brian Plummers Lurcher "Fathom"

was.

I remember Brian saying it was a Alsation X, and its in one of his books,- would anyone have the book showing Fathom and its type of cross. Take care as i hear he had two called Fathom but one is in the book as Alsation X.

What book is it in

Thanks for any info on this.

Got the books in the loft,too late to go up there,besides,its dark and theres spiders and "stuff" but wasnt Fathom just a line-bred lurcher?Never recall any mention of Alsation in the lineage

Yes i thought it was just collie x, having said that them last few he had looked a bit alsasiony with their black masks. Phaedra and merab was it? always in the countrymans many moons back. cheers wex

I am only going off what Brian said, but a friend who knew him very well, says its in one of the books,- just don't know which book.

Didnt his best mate Hancock breed a few experimental alsation litters?I wonder how they turned out?

The guy was a messer, some of his dogs were bred differently depending on what book its in.

The original Fathom was probably one of the best lurchers plummer ever had on his yard she was bred out of penguin i believe to Grip [f1 Arkinglas deerhound x greyhound]i dont think either parent was bred by him Grip was bred by Bodger but class dogs in the field Grip sired a load of bitches and some real good types.

I owned a couple down from Grip if they was on it was over great mouths and stamina to burn i saw Grip kill his last hare with Terry Aherne he was thirteen then old battered and with half a tail .
