  1. Never even thought about owt like that them little narrow things wouldnt last round here theyd be charged out everytime like typey dogs but never owned one that would work some do though obviously
  2. Dogs for jobs dont think any slur intended. keep spaniels myself but dont tip em in and break thro hrs later both work hard in their field
  3. Well thas reight cheered me up fields same , dogs same keep the faith as my old mate Taffy Mitchell used to say
  4. Agreed EC. my point was he wasnt working the pretty ones , they came later. His hunt and digging dogs didnt conform to type
  5. 100%…… and sold alot of books
  6. I tried to get a russell a few yr back. tried all hunt terriermen I knew or mates of mates. mainly down south because they ‘seemed’ more popular. Couldnt buy one. Im a Yorkshireman btw. ended up gifted a crossbred bitch which is family I have now. hens teeth good russels. I know they exist but I wasnt worthy ATB T
  7. EC’ s later dogs were registered to sell pups his digging dogs were all shapes n sizes and Im told at one time they were very good. thats from someone in South wales who dug with him. that is not to say a registered dog cant work of course it can and should. ATB T
  8. 100% and that includes vets
  9. Runs hot and cold does Bud. alot would have put a cartridge through him by now , but I like him. had some half decent days with him to be fair. bit of a pal a mine is big Bud
  10. Good days to be had on the moor. you can dig all you want up there should you be that way inclined. so they say anyway round some parts. ATB T
  11. Blimey never heard of owt like that before. get them to find a fox in a pile and they might be onto something. ATB Tony
  12. Alot of big names did might have been 20, 30 yr ago but its there i reckon youve to be a serious breeder knocking litters out to get back to a level. AC did it ( some say ) and look at his legacy
  13. Ill not bother then shame that
  14. merseyside lads normally put a decent do on not seen leggsy in a while
  15. agreed Bosun… are there terriers at the Cheshire this year?
  16. Agreed… youre diluting all the hard work of past workers
  17. To all terriermen who are wrong side of 50, youll know the feeling when someone half your age jumps in to do abit. Fact of life I suppose. Some dogs must be same. It seems like last year i bred a litter trying to get a border/ lakey type. failed and got mongrels but wastage was low to be fair to em. took em out today and thought the bitch looks old and shes only 5 at christmas. Time flies but hell of a bitch that Ive spoilt abit on tough days.
  18. Very well bred but complete runt compared to siblings.. I wish Id half a dozen like her phenomenal bitch in cover and also very good on birds during shoot days control is easy…. She makes me look like ive trained her
