Gary Middleton Lakey

[BORDERSCOT 3,816]

Its just a name. It wont make it look or work any better - if it's what you want then go for it but you could end up paying through the arse for a hyped up show pony... Just my opinion and I respect anyone who doesnt agree!

FTB

 

I totally agree that buying a pup from a 'name' is no guarantee of future working success but you will have some guarantees on its breeding and make up.

gary middleton has done more for the working lakeland than anyone else in this country has or ever will -- of late a lot of his gear is show stuff so be it but overall in 40 year or more of putting the effort into the breed i dont think you can knock the man ... his like may never be seen again ..

your right in what you say,he has done more for the working lakeland than anyone,but he hasnt done much for the fell terrier which was allways more suited to work than a lakeland.

Didn't jack Russell folks use his dogs to strengthen their lines? My understanding is that he had a lot of bull blood in his terriers.
