Known Ian for years there not just show dogs he is well known in west of scotland and yorkshire for his dogs working ability but he does like the showing scene, Take a good look at the dogs and you'll see they are used Quote Link to post
hector 1 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 think max was the tuning point in his hunting career as max was definetly a looker and the popularity he gave ian at the shows was unbeleiveable seen it with my own eyes guys more interested than the look than the working ability told several guys max was only half decent and not very good at finding but they still bred to him ian himself knows i did not rate max highly as i told him as my little ugly nuttall bitch showed max up a couple of times and he did say he was impressed with the bitch for finding and bolting in an earth that was undiggable and a hard dog should not be entered Quote Link to post

CorkyJohn 808 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Had a Russell pup from him 6yrs ago although he was off Mal Thomas' stuff. At the time I met him he had about 6 terriers in a trailer & although a bit small for my liking they all were marked up. He went out of his way & I found him a decent bloke. The pup I took - sire & g'sire were Jack & Jake going back to Pieman. he started off very hard but settled into a steady worker. Quote Link to post

CorkyJohn 808 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Cheers Iain, it was a spur of the moment thing when I had the chance to buy Jock, money well spent though. You were heading up to scotland & said you'd be coming back down next day & myself & Andy met you not far from Carlisle. Andy had a bitch on loan from you to run on Edited August 5, 2009 by CorkyJohn Quote Link to post
