The World of the Lurcher (Hancock)

The book (Colonel Hancocks eighth) is about Lurchers, the hunting dog of the humbler hunters. It covers not just the origins, uses, structure, breeding advice, blend of breeds and foreign counterparts, but the wide patronage of these talented hounds.

Lavishly illustrated, it covers many aspects of the Lurcher scene for the first time. It is not a manual dealing with feeding, training and health concerns. It is a book for the hunter, the person more interested in what the Lurcher does.
