MRD 3 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 You can find examples of Smithfield type lurchers in Ted Walsh's book" Lurchers and Longdogs." I emphasise type because that is what it was. A another type of lurcher is the famous Norfolk , one I remember from years back was John Bromiley's Isaac which won many shows, a big wheaten coloured rough coated dog If I recall. MRD you seem to have difficulty appreciating my sense of humour.In the interests of harmony ,I'll play it straight from now on. "Ted Walsh's book" Like I say, you like reading. As far as difficulty appreciating your sense of humour goes, I think most on this site have. "Play straight from now on"? Do you mean the things you wrote so far are complete bullshit?!
