CarraghsGem 92 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 hi, sorry to show my ignorance so blatently, what is a plummer terrier? i keep seeing them around but nearly afraid to ask are they russelxbeagle? are they vocal hunters? are they stubborn or easy to train, what makes a good one? gem Hi Gem. it may be a good idea to google, plummer terrier association, european plummer and plummer terrier club of great britain, as it is a large subject to discuss and may promote alot more debates on here Cheers thanks just checked out plummer terrier club of GB, saw one bitch thats really nicer there, if i had room i would love to have one!

dillan 19 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) hi dillan how far back did you outcross i saw some first cross pups on the internet they looked solid Few months ago, kept a full red/tan bitch back, more like a fell. Will put her back to a plummer when she`s a proven worker. I thought I was first to do this but found out many people have done this with JR`s, Patterdales and red fells. A lot of thought went into this as well as speaking to a few well respected terrier men. Had contemplated Beagle, but would take a few generations for size to come down and ears to come up. Bull cross been done, not without its problems as I understand, but have seen some nice stamps, contemplated JR`s but would throw a lot of white. So decided Fell, after all its the nearest and Brian regularly dropped it in judging by his books, especially if he was having problems. Not saying this is the answer to improve the terrier or the way forward to widen gene pool, just did it for myself to see if I can improve my kennels Edited January 26, 2010 by dillan Quote Link to post
