Guest dee mac Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 bobby 2 is right here lads brian has done a lot over the years for the black dog but this last few years things have went down hill in terms of size and type of dog and most importantly the buying of litters of black dogs then passing them off as his own breeding but in general i still think he has done more good than harm Quote Link to post

I was one of Brian's very closest friends and went digging with him from when I was 16 until about 46(53 now)-in fact Brian and Maureen refer to me as there 'second son'. I kept Miner at my house for about 5 month and he could kill a fox but he was not what you would call a hard dog,tho' he was always nose to nose with his quarry and not baying 3 feet away-Brian did have some of the hardest dogs you will ever see-Duke, Rocky and of course the famous bitch Penny from The Fell Terrier Book who was as hard as any dog and a dog called Briton which was actually a pup I bred and gave him-Miner was definitely NOT half border-I did have the bloodlines and knew his sire and dam but cant remember there names now-he weighed about 14lb so was not tiny. 6 Quote Link to post

I cant think who you are but I hope you read this and thanks very much for the compliment-if this lets you write e mail addressess then please get in touch at planettomo69@gmail.com 7 Quote Link to post

I know people all around the country that have kennels full just of his line,keeping it pure-his son Craig up Darlington has a full pack of them,& loads of his mates in the area keep kennels full as well-Craig has his own pack of Fell hounds and the permission they have up Scotland is thousands of acres & they are hunting/digging 3/4 days a week Anyone who slags off Brian or his terriers hasn't done much digging and are just all mouth and have been no where and done nowt-saying Brian is a rubbish terrierman is just like saying that Mohamid Ali can't box-regards Dave Tomo. 8 Quote Link to post
