Lucas Terrier Scrapbook

Sir Jocelyn would not keep a dog with an uncertain temperament because, he said, they were too busy looking for a fight to keep their mind on the job and given the way he transported his dogs mayhem would ensue if a fight broke out.

Photograph taken on 18th March 1957 during a rabbit clearance at Nomansland Common, Near St. Albans, Hertfordshire. In the photograph are Sealyham terriers, Lucas terriers, beagles, a 'speagle' (spaniel/beagle) and one or two of indeterminate breeding.
