dean 11 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Spoke to him seems genuine he charges £850-00 pure bred or 1st x with waiting list 1 Quote Link to post
Bryan 1,362 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 You need to get in touch via his webpage,as I think he maybe the only genuine one in the game still,but they are not cheap.But from what I've been told he talks the talk and more importantly walks the walk.I saw his pack (or some off them)at Ragley 2009 Looking on the working sealyham site, it looks like they only hunt rats and rabbits with a "pack"? WTF has that got to do with working terriers? A terrier is meant to be a digging dog? For £850 a pup i bet he comes across as genuine. I think there are people looking for two different things on these sealyham threads, some are looking for Sealyham type single handed digging dogs and others, for KC dogs they can call "working terriers" but.................

Rey27 83 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 £850 a pup for a very big boned sealyham is a bit steep, if people REALLY want to revive the breed or improve it, then they should be trying to get the dogs out there to working homes at a FARE price, so people can work them again, because no doubt the "original" sealyham dogs at the moment wont be worth the £850 Rey 1 Quote Link to post

Doohan 46 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Mr Parson's is a good friend & I can assure everyone on here his terriers (pure Sealyhams & Ilmer terriers) work ALL legal quarry, including earth work. Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 At £850 a pup they wound want to carry spade and shovel and do all the diging as well.I seen people on here saying nuttal was over charging at £250,i paid less for gud well bred ghounds. 2 Quote Link to post
foxdigger13 114 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Spoke to him seems genuine he charges £850-00 pure bred or 1st x with waiting list IMO there never gonna become a serious digging breed if he charges that per pup, there's just not enough digging lads willing to pay that much for a pup when they can get a well bred pup of there mates for free or cheap, atb fd.

lurchers 2,835 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 i think you would pay the money for the right bred pup.i think a lot of people just want things for nothing when people pay good money to start the bred from and put the time and effort into working them to get the right stuff.
