  1. These were the first books that I was given as Xmas presents way back in the 1990s, I've read & re-read them many times over. They got me re-interested in hunting terriers & hunting in general. I now own both of his books (1st editions), which sit "pride of place" in my "favourite books" bookcase at the end of my hall.
  2. If you want more rabbits on your permission, the best policy is to not kill everything you catch. Release some, especially the female does. They will produce more offspring for the next season. This policy isn't one I'd employ myself but IMHO it is better than being caught releasing a pet rabbit onto the land & losing your permission. Also lets face it, the chances of a pet rabbit surviving the winter & breeding next year are also slim.
  3. Bushing with terriers is a lot of fun, good luck with you & your terrier!!!
  4. Yes watching them pack is a sight to behold, good luck with your OC!!!

  6. I found this a few years ago & thought it may throw some light on this thread: The first white Lakeland Seamus say was back in the late 1970's, at his friend, Gary Middleton's home. It had been bred from two black-&-tan Lakeland terriers & was obviously a 'throw-back' to many years before when white terrier blood was introduced to the Lake District. Very possibly this happened in the village of Patterdale, most likely through a white Fox Terrier dog that had mated with Lakeland terriers. White terriers would start to appear in various litters then, even though the parents were
  7. To the best of my knowledge Kenterfox Flint & possibly his litter sister (and/or the cross that made them) were represented in the foundation stud book as a KC recognised "Parson". Their dam was off Middleton stuff. 20 years ago this was a big deal for some people involved in the breed within the UK. If you get Sheila Atter's book “Jack Russell Terriers Today”! You can read it for yourselves, she wrote a chapter about it.
  8. One of the dogs used in the original Alaunt project looks a lot like the brindles shown here. He was a good dog!!!!
  9. I walk mine off the lead, up & down glen. Seems to work for me.
  10. Sorry Grant but I just got a text from a pal. Apparently there's a small gang of undesirables going about Glenrothes & Kelty stealing dogs. I just hope yours isn't one of them pal! Can you please text me if you get her back? Doohan
  11. Grant I've let all of the boys I know what happened over that end of the country, hopefully I'll get some good news for you. I's sorry that you've lost her & hope you get her back soon.
