CorkyJohn 808 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I know they say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead but I reckon Plummer being a controversial recluse/loner he'd probably get a tickle from knowing people are still talking about him even now, be it in a good or bad light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dog fox 16 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 i heard once that he helped D.harcombe out on a couple of occasions .once when he splitt up with his wife and was very down and once when david had a fire in his home and brian lent him money to get back on his feet and rebuild his house ,this is what i heard so dont qoute me on it pls ,but if its true, why all the hate as he was a descent guy to do this in my eyes. putting the dog world to one side , Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 You know what is funny......... It's mostley in the lurcher section on here or with lurcher owners in general that Plummer gets the most criticism, but HE first and formost considered himself a Terrierman........

Tesco 28 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 He was never a true terrierman, whats more the man was a known grass, thats just 1 of the reasons he's so disliked, no way to defend a grass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Maybe that was his downfall branching out into the world of lurcher's and its people.I can say [bANNED TEXT] he was teaching in rotherham he was never known for his lurchers but the rough haired terriers he had made quite an immpression on the digging game after other lads had them [bANNED TEXT] he left the area.

He never pulled any trees up with those dogs himself though did he Dell? Genuine lads got hold of them and worked/bred them to produce very good terriers,ironic that when he left Wales and came here he had the best terriers he ever owned and then spent 35 yrs making a bollocks of breeding "superior terriers" [his words] complete bullshitter but entertaining books.
