J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Theres only a handful of articles, the real meat of the book is the old pedigrees and photos of the dogs and the trials. Should be posting the first of them out monday/tuesday.Its actually quite an interesting little book.... Quote Link to post

I have tried a few experiments with the books in the past few years and digested all feedback, both good and bad. Hopefully they will see a marked improvement. Good Hunting JD Quote Link to post
Gunner123 103 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 everyones gona be an expert on the trials after this comes out Not only that , the strong dog peddlers of today will have a field day with the pedigrees and new names in this book. Todays staffBull pedigrees will suddenly have new old time names appear on them, sell sell sell !! Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Gunner your probably right. 10 years ago there probably wasn't 100 working type wheatens left and less staffs (I talk of Ireland) but they were in the hands of proper dog men and were in no danger of dieing out. Nowadays there are any amount of wheatens and staffs of Irish lines. But there were probably better strong dogs 10 years ago. I haven't seen the book yet but I personally know a few of the names behind it and the truth will be told from experience and fact. Also these men have no profit to be made from telling it like it was about these dogs. Also these dogs deserve their place in working dog history. As for a band wagon to jump on??? I think the band wagon started about 8 or 9 years ago. Quote Link to post
Gunner123 103 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I bet the colombo dog on the cover will end up in the peddlers blue irish staff pedigrees in the next few litters ! SELL SELL SELL !! Quote Link to post

Good Hunting JD i really like dig deep and little dogs with big hearts,i often think it would be interesting for someone to do a modern version of the book..fell terrier,an up to date and in depth book on blood lines, men and terrain..the nearest thing to that i have seen would be the broadhurst book..terriers and terriermen Quote Link to post
AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Theres only a handful of articles, the real meat of the book is the old pedigrees and photos of the dogs and the trials. D.Harrison published books/mags full of peds of old Irish Staffords years back...will this book offer anything new?...(genuine question not a dig) Quote Link to post
Gunner123 103 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Harrisons was absolute rubbish with misinformed ped's. Im sure this effort will be alot more concise. Quote Link to post
