alan lived in the red rose county, i have never seen any of his dogs he kept, used for ratting or rabbiting.
he kept terriers only for earth work and did all the fox control in our area.
i remember digging with some of his terriers, some on here may also remember them, "rocky" and "fettler."
if you remember them you will realise how long ago that was, he also had some good fox killing lurchers , "billy" a merle greyhound collie was a good dog.
he kindly gave me one of his black fell terrier pups and he was a keen worker on fox but sadly suffocated digging on to a big un in his third seas
