LMAO at this topic. By the way you can come and see my dogs but i don't sell to show folks any longer due to their many 'guarentees needed' LOL. And i only sell to people via recommendation from others that you do indeed work your dogs. Have one going to Denmark soon, he is going to be a right little firecracker when older, but not a 'show pony' IMO. Seems most the names listed in one list are all JRTCGB people, must say when i went to one of their shows last year to view non of the dogs looked like they had ever worked or even had the brain to.

They all look like white lakies with a dash of colour on to me!LOL certainly don't look anything like those KC reg Parsons i see at shows (whippety looking).

Thanks, shes a cracking bitch, shows her slight lakie ancestry in the head though.

I have a photo taken in 1896 with my gt grandfather holding a white terrier from our line, the picture was taken just after a hunt, also has some black dogs in it, was taken at Coniston i believe. People back then used to breed worker to worker so in all honesty you could get anything cropping up in time, remember the blues Frank Buck had crop up out of his blacks.

Your telling me these are all KC registered parsons? or just have the name?

Opinions are like A**eholes everyone has one :11: Nice pair of terriers northsider. I think the EBT should be entered in a christmas calendar competition with that wooly coat, just needs some tinsel for the finishing touch.

thers always been black terriers no there hasent mate go on give me the year of the earliest ones you know of Black fells/patterdales/lakies (all the same dog) have been around for hundreds of years 1750 the earliest documented one seen in cumbria, i'd bet money on them being the oldest strain of terrier in this country. Joe Bowman had blacks & that was in the early 1900's. They certainly were around long before the money grabbers got hold of them. If you look at the breed its the only one that hasn't really been exaggerated in its type, they are pretty consistent in ability a

Carlisle, & yes he does ratch, constantly works the hedgerows when out. Hasn't been spoiled as i say he's just at the right age to get started.

Dog sold.

I was going to go to this, decided to go to the Warwickshire Game Fair instead, alot of good dogs turned out there. I managed to get a couple of video clips for You've Been Framed as well!!!LOL Missed the best one of the household cavalry guard falling off his horse in the middle of the display ring though

It didn't rain that bad last night, i'm in carlisle & its brilliant sunshine this morning, had 5 dogs entered for something to do, got the call at 7am saying the show had been cancelled as their insurance won't cover for accidents when the fields a quagmire. Funny though the carriage driving is supposedly still on....................must have a different insurance Wonder if those of us who paid pre entries for the terriers will get our money back. The lurcher show didn't take pre entries but they had all the tophies engraved with the date & show etc. Bit of a let down really, shou

Parkins judging lowther this weekend, thats all working dogs out the window before we even go then! I don't like parsons too lanky & brainless, just keep the smaller old fashioned type myself.

Are some of those pups black/white or tris?

Very strange. What did the blood tests come back as? Sounds more like some sort of Ataxia, which is hereditary, if it was infection they wouldn't recover so quick & poisoning would kill one of them after a while. Have you been to another vet yet?

LOL, you wouldn't get your hands on one of my JRT pups for £250! so these are cheap, maybe you need to advertise elsewhere with people who have money bolty- there is working folk out there that do even if it is like getting blood out of a stone, if its what they want they'll come back to you with the readies. It's a shame that some working lads want JRT's for next to nothing yet are more than willing to fork out a small fortune for bull terrier percentage bred patterdales.
