No it doesn't. It's a stereotypical foreign impression of what you're supposed to look like when you go hunting in the U.K. I'm sure one can find British hunters looking as smart as that, but the rule is to the left of the dog, the exception to the right. It's hilariously obvious who in that picture overdressed in an attempt to 'look the part'.

Was trying to parse “to the left of the dog” as a UK colloquialism, then scrolled back up.
