Will Bowden 0 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) 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. Some photos: Mine, Dougal. Family group at a local show last year, we won. 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 Will Edited September 30, 2010 by Will Bowden Quote Link to post
