These photos come from the walk with my Aunt on her morning walks with the dogs and friends around Godalming Surrey, the dog in the picture is Lucy the Lurcher, a totally loony dog of a breed I've never seen before. The Lurchers are a gypsy breed, not recognised by the kennel clubs, and consisting of EITHER a greyhound or whippet mixed with some kind of terrier. The mixture creates a jack-in-the-box sprinbok of a dog, the likes of which I've never seen before. Lucy's owner Linda was a devoted lurcher fan, and keen for them to remain the characteristic 'wild cards' of the dog breeds.
