Oh dear. This is embarrassing.
I hadn't thought of checking the words. As this song is linked in my
mind, rightly or wrongly, with Yorkshire, I'd taken for granted Old
Towler pursued foxes.

I've missed the beginning of this thread, I think, so this may have
already
been refuted, but the song implies that Old Towler was a stag hound.

Old Towler was indeed a fox hound. Hence the wintry connection.
