rob84 112 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Keeping the bloodline close is the best way of consistently throwing workers simple as that, when outcrossing to other blood you would make sure that that was 1/4 / 1/2 related. You have just got to make sure that when your breeding so close your original dogs have no major faults. Other wise your doubling up on the bad points. With the bad mouth losing teeth quicker and one with a tidy mouth. Doest make a blind bit of differnece it its a hard type of dog and mixes a fair bit it will lose teeth. Quote Link to post

NAMES DONT MEAN f**k ALL THERE JUST A MARK OR PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE $$$$$ [ Just because a dog is from a famous name does not make it better (or worse), one thing though, we have big names to thank for most lines of terrier way back, but lines are now kept by lads out of the spotlight. I think big names are to thank in some cases, however the ones that have puppy peddaled add nowt to the game Quote Link to post

wilko tango 50 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 in my own opinion i think its right in some cases to look for terriers off well known breeders. but i can see why people think big names are money spinners. we ll take brian nuttall for example and before people start jumping down my throat this is from experienc. i bought pups from him one time after reading all the books and stuff like that i cud nt wait to go over and pay him for the pups. flew over to pay him even though we could nt bring the pups home and we would have to wait another two weeks for the pups to come over on the boat. any way to cut a long story short we got into his yard sen the dogs and were nt happy with the type of them at all i asked him were his workers were as we taught all the dogs running around us were pups we got some shock when he told us they were his workers and started to name them off. we decided to take a chance after making the trip to england. and plus if the man had the name he had it could nt be all bad. two weeks later the pups came over at six weeks of age even though we asked him if he could hang on to them til 8 weeks old and he declined. anyway the following day after they came over they were in the vets all 3 of them had parvo two of them died and the one that suvived is nt even worth the mention. now we were very green at the time and i leared a very valueable lesson from that experience. now am probably being unfair to the man mayby i just got unlucky but iv heard from a few people that they would not go near his stuff because of the way its gone workwise and sizewise. and iv being told that the stuff that he bread years ago was second to none i think its a pity the way he changed his breeding. any way i got lucky the folowing year when i got the oppertunity to get pups from another big name but completely different than the other big name in so many ways work comes first with this man. and to be honest he very rarely sells a pup there mostly giving out to the boys he digs with. i was also lucky to be getting out digging with them as they taught me everyting i know about it thats probably not saying alot cause i know f**k all lol. but out of seven terriers tha i got from him (and the last few for nothing)iv got 4 working one is travelling and another is only six months old. one never worked. i dont think you would get the same amount of terriers going from breeding thats not from a certain strain. jimo.

" Not really. Training is a method of installing something into a dog that is already there. Labradors to retrieve to hand (part of instinct), lurchers to hunt up etc. With terriers its there or its not, You cant put in what was left out and no amount of training will help this.
