top terrierman 90 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 dealers use big names to try sell pups.i am lucky enough to have dug with one or two well known terrier men but they didnt go looking for the limelight like some do they were well known throw their dogs and the standard they kept them over the years.and when they breed a litter of pups they wont be for sale to anyone with a big bank account.and thats why they have what they have today because they kept it right and money didnt come into it the love of terrier work did.you need to know the histroy behind what you have to keep it right. 1 Quote Link to post

oohmydog 82 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 worker to worker is the best name i agree mate. And for me finally getting to a point with a little help from some of the older big names producing some steady away old fashioned terriers. Not the show types. Not that there is anything wrong with that, i just cant seem to get that mix right. Not that im worried about looks 20 odd years ago you went to look at a litter of terrier pups checked the teeth and feet and bought one because of the parents and what you had seen them do or been told .the breeding in some dogs these days is gross (interbred to the extent that deformities in the litters are regular some of which are not visible .i think thats when the dreaded pound as taken over i dont and im sure that a lot of lads dont rely understand the genes in mammals Quote Link to post

madgerboy 11 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 That post is the biggest load of crap I ve ever read."interbred to the extent that deformities are common"then the punch line,"some of which aren t visible"?the greatest deformity in an "earthdog"is the inability to work to ground.it's the lack of family or line breeding of dogs of a high standard that is the main reason for the lack of "good dogs".worker to worker within a family is the way to maintain terriers,in the truest sense of the word.If the good genes contained within the good dogs where saturated by family breeding we would nt be gambling and hoping for 1 worker out of every litter.what made the apbt what it is or was?a good understanding of genes and family traits and breeding from "producers".the big names?say what you want are big names because they had/have the know how to PRODUCE workers in high percentages.saturation of good blood and an understanding of genetics and working terriers is the way forward.if some want to make big money that's their choice,as long as they re puttingworkers on the ground. Makes me wonder whether some are concerned about "big names"or are they jealous that some are more well known than them and know how to make a few pound while doing it?Lol Quote Link to post
