Same reason there's polydactyly in Norfolk. Generation after generation of inbreeding deformities as desirable characteristics. Reply to this message | Report message

>> "there's polydactyly in Norfolk." Do you mean water spaniels with eight webbed toes on each front paw Lygonos, or old twelve-fingered Jack from over by smurururur way, or even Jake the Peg from the Essex border? Reply to this message | Report message

You'll realize from my question that I know sod all about dogs, but do the ones that go down holes after their quarry have more use for whiskers? Reply to this message | Report message

Well, I thought that but the Springer and the Cocker are variations on the same specialized theme. Bit like a saloon and a coupe... Reply to this message | Report message

My dog is white. well, at least he is supposed to be. About three times a week I manage to get him back to something like his natural colour at the moment. I was chatting today to one of the old boys who lives on one of the narrowboats tied up on the canal behind us. His dog "Caspar" is white too. I do of course see why he called him that but before I knew the chap I thought he had tourette's when he was calling his dog back to the boat... Reply to this message | Report message

It probably normally is busier Duncan but I expect it was just one of those days when everyone but the Englishman had been told that Dai the Farm had just had some new ewes delivered or maybe that there was a local sacrifice to attend. Reply to this message | Report message
