JR Yipp 111 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) who needs loads and loads of lines and studs apparently all working like most of the wanky black stuff you see today. theres planty of good russels out there if you know where to look. i can think of atleast 6 stud dogs of very good standard (proper digging dogs and good stamp.), thats just with what i know and without trying to find any. these start in the deep south all the way up to the scots border. there maybe alot more coloured stuff but in ratio terms just as many usable studs if you want to breed for quality working ability.

smasher 1,055 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Are the russells you've got from over the water or did you take them with you Smasher ? the type of russels i use, and have used were local,its what was used here before the black stuff became fashionable,its what i started of with and stuck to it,old habits die hard,i have also kept blacks and still do,i have no personal preferance of size,shape or colour as long as it does an honest days graft,and have been lucky enough to have seen some good terriers doing there thing over the years,and some of the better ones were never much to look at,but would have a place in my yard any day, Quote Link to post
smasher 1,055 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Now are there any good russell type bitches out there?and i'm not talking about short bow legged,snipey nosed prick eared cr*p but well put together nice strong headed/muzzeled bitches that can do a proper days graft and before anyone asks for a pic of my russell bitch i only have russell dogs(good stamps of russells though ). I have been working that bow legged type of russell [CRAP] since i began digging,maybe you can show us the type of PROPER GRAFT yours do,a few pics would be nice so maybe i can see where i have been going wrong, and some cracking rissells you work aswell pal.Is your old dog still grafting pal how do scent,the old dog will still graft if need be,and has done very recently Quote Link to post
