    But IMO those who are good at working their terriers nowadays are better than those who were top of the tree back in the day. I genuinely believe there's not a single thing that any of the so called legends of yesteryear could teach a good terrierman of today. That doesn't mean I haven't got respect for them ,I do but there's better today, both man and terrier. You think guys about nowadays could teach Buck and Breay and thing or two? Or Nuttal? He was digging in the 50's and 60's it'd be interesting getting his opinion on it. I think from the 60's for sure and maybe further back

    could be slightly out with the dates neil, perhaps it was early 80s, my point was that,due to a small minority making home vids, of cruelty that has no place in terrier work or hunting, all were tarnished, as we both no, these types were not the true terrier men of old, mindless idiots, at best ,but I would agree there are some very good younger men out there,that will take some beating , atb.

    TOO OLD TO HUNT lol ,don't be fooled foxbolter theres a lot of young lads into the rifles, it is very affective, but some of the numbers shot in some areas are sick. some young lads don't last two mins, following hounds on foot, some of us that are too old, are there at the end ,at our own pace, but always there till every hound is boxed up atb.

    Amen to that although i think his job is going to get harder every year , every so often some wanker makes a remark on face book page (maybe a anti) about how no one working there dogs right, and the next thing there is whole pile of photos which should never of been taken never mind posted all over the place , with these muppets there bullx, terriers and quarry all covered in blood ... they will be hack it a season or two f***ing up the sport their battle cry being f**k the ban .............FU(KING MUPPETS that's a classic glyn battle cry f..k the ban .

    in what way? genuine question, not havein a dig, sorry worded it a bit blunt. In what way what? requires field craft, I don't shoot ,don't know one end of gun from other, but my son took me out with night vision ,it seemed v easy, not much field craft, I might add only shooting rabbits on this occasion, As in you still have to use field craft to get the right direction of the wind with out it scenting you! Last year when snow was on I saw I fox every night for 5 nights with thermal couldn't get near it for a shot tracked it for 7 days on hands and knees thru forestry blocks

    Was the fell terriers original job to account for foxs in places that could not be dug or was this just more shit to fill pages in books. Was the fell terriers original job to account for foxs in places that could not be dug or was this just more shit to fill pages in books. fell terriers were bred to kill foxes pal Fell terriers were bred to serve the owners purpose,in the Dales and Fells were the breed flourished,then furnished kennels further afield,many of these owners needed a terrier that could shift the fox from its underground haunts,a dead fox below served little purpose,mu

    with pups fair enough, some times too much going on and too much input from other folk, the pups don't get a fair chance ,patience is the key,and nobody takin piss when things don't go too well

    I was brought up on the grey box, and befor that no box at times lol,but watching my lads with the bellman which I am not allowed to mess with,they are the bees knees, no terrier should be without one these days.

    very few lines are what they seem lads,terrier lads r not renowned for keeping accurate records,some do,but a lot get mixed up,added to as time passes,its a shame but true,very few no whats what,steve did keep a nice type of black ,same as DW bull looking,years ago he showed me a photo of the bull that was added ,at that time steves were bad for fighting ,but not seen any his terriers for a good while,
