Recommended Posts


Hi folks, just came across this old thread, I can clarify it if anyone still cares :)

 

The 'Exmoor Lurcher' are a type as suggested. Bred on Exmoor originally by Tom Farthing (a man who's life it would take a lifetime to tell you about), now bred by his daugther Jane Farthing. Jane also produces and sell the collars found on ExmoorLurcher.co.uk.

 

The dogs are generally a cross between Deerhound for size, Greyhound/Whippet for speed and Bedlington Terrier for robustness.

 

Jane breeds them in small and large size :) Mines the latter.

The dogs were were often portrayed in the late Mick Cawstons work -Micks Pic's

 

 

If anyone has a queries give Jane a shout through her website, she'll talk for hours on the subject :)

So's your range of vocabulary by the look of it... :yes:
