This is only my opinion, but based on my experiences. When the plummers were first around, they were bred to hopefully be digging dogs. Hence the shape/size they were. When the hunting ban came in certain breeders (not all) have changed the look of the terrier, after first promoting the dog as an earth dog they changed tact as they believed at first digging was banned, then realised that the general public would find the thought of a dog killing fox less appealing than a dog killing horrible nasty vermin, so the current plummers you see are skinny long legged, now promoted as ratting dogs...wh

WELCOME BLACK AND TAN YOU ARE A RARETY,IN TO TERRIERS,SENSE OF HUMOR,EXTREMELY DEDICATED AND A WOMAN.THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF SINGLE,SEPARATED,DIVORCED OR JUST MISUNDERSTOOD TERRIERMEN ON HERE ONLY DREAMING OF SUCH A GEM.GLAD I HAVENT EMBARASSED YOU

I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE TIDY LADY OWNER OF AN OUTSTANDING LAKELAND DOG I SAW AT SHUGBOROUGH GAME FAIR YESTERDAY.THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD QUELL ITS URGE TO KILL EVERYTHING IN THE RING WAS TO MASSAGE ITS CROWN JEWELS WILST WEARING PATENT LEATHER GLOVES.HOW I WISHED I WAS THAT LAKELAND DOG :yes:

i totally agree with this post. the plummer terrier will be the next terrier KC. regd if the majority of owners have their way. there are very few plummers bred with work only in mind. this is a real pity as they have a lot to offer. not as earthdogs but as al round pesters that can and do deal with the odd fox. as in all breeds not everyone is in it for the fame and fortune. some owners just ike the type and enjoy working them in some shape or form. I SECOND THE ABOVE COMMENTS.NICE TO READ SOME COMMONSENSE,WELLDONE DEE MAC AND SHINEY

TOTALY AGREE, IVE SEEN A COUPLE OF DOGS COME AWAY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASONS, SO AT THE TIME I THOUGHT THAY WERE JACKERS. BUT TRIED THEM AGAIN A WEEK OR SO LATER AND DUG TO THEM IDE STILL CALL THEM WORKERS, THINK EVERY TERRIER HAS THER OF DAYS SOME TIME IN THERE LIFES.

SORT OF WORK WILL IT BE DOING WITH YOU AND ARE YOU AFTER A DOG OR BITCH.

I HAVE TWO BITCHES FROM THERE AND THEY WORK SO LETS NOT START SLAGGING THE BREED OFF AGAIN JUST BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH THE BREEDER.HOW ABOUT SOME CONSTRUCTIVE DEBATE ABOUT WHAT A FAIR PRICE FOR A PUP WITH WORKING POTENTIAL IS AND HOW IT VARIES ACROSS THE BREEDS.
