Always used Russel types me, best dog i had was 3/4 Russell 1/4 Fox terrior name of Tod. Nose like an hound, retired him to my mates kennels for the females

My current worker is a Russell type, she looks an image of Plumbers old Beltane, she has loads of brains and personality. I also got a Sprocker and a Staff x ???, which are pets.

I did have a Gould line Black bitch, she wanted to do other things, so i had to part with her

And thats where the andvantage of a Lurcher comes in, they don't go to ground like the Terriors.
