Brian Plummer Lurcher

Yes, I thought she was out of Penguin who was 3/4 greyhound 1/4 bull.

[Gin 498]

If anyone has the book of her in it can they take a look and let me know what it says of her. He ( Brian ) has her as Alsation X, and it seems to be in the book.

Thank You by the way Juckler for all the info,- very interesting.

Page 77 in "Merle" says she is a daughter of Penguin. She looks very slight in the pics.

There is no mention in any of his books of any GSD blood in his lurchers, all collie based.

In the book ''Merle'' one of Brian's freind's had an Alsationx that was the same age as Merle, i'm fairly sure he never actually owned or bred Alsationx's, even though he had some top bred Alsation,s on his premises.

I THINK ITS IN ROUGES AND RUNNING DOGS

That was Terry Aherns Rusty, a collie x.

plummer discribed penguin, fathoms dam as a mongrelly type of beast in the book diary of a hunter and goes on to say he contemplated disposing of fathams blood-line and keep a pure breeding collie/greyhound bloodline but did not want to part with fathoms family as they were true lurchers,sagacious,cunning and great providers ,also saying in merle the start of a dynasty she was a kannechor~a chicken thief, hope this helps

I wonder if anyone still keeps dogs from this line?Even diluted with other blood?

I'm not sure which book it is, either modern ferreting or rogues and running dogs, but he says that Penguin was a 3/4 bull grey. Then in another he says she was a mongrel, see what I mean about them being bred different depending which book you read. In Merle he says he was an indifferent rabbiter and bloody useless on hares so why start a line from him unless it was a colour or ego thing like his terriers.

[gnipper 6,485]

Does anyone off here know any of the characters mentioned in his books, surely some were made up like his protege Michael Shaw who saw Plumber as his friend and mentor for some 18 years when he wrote his terrier book

[Boojet 0]

think the book was rogues and running dogs or merle , fathom was very inbred collie line so i believe

all the best

[mackem 26,767]

Wasnt he trying to breed a plummer-lurcher type line,and farming the pups out to friends?
