seany 54 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Good day to you all,can any body recommend any good terrier books for a good read for someone with a general interest in terrier work,maybe with all the techniques used and different quarry species plus working terrier breeds/crosses historically and present day and terminology of the sport. Thanks in advance Seany. Quote Link to post

Rey27 83 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Anything by Harcombe/Chapman and Darcy, forget Frain.......... my misses bought me "the patterdale terrier by sean frain" thought it was an ok read (never read harcombe/chapman or darcy though) just a question, but what did use all not like about the frain books?

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 working terrier by plummer is ok, plenty of history about the breeds if you like that. the working bedlington is shit, a rat hunt in a garden and talking to a guy on a boat, its just wank. harcombes newest one is a good read as is his badger digging book Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I don't really rate Chapman's books, 'Work them hard...' by Harcombe is the best book you'll read on working terriers IMO, 'Dig Deep...' by Darcy is also a quality book as are the two little terrier volumes he has. Avoid Frain books...SHITE. Quote Link to post
loulove1 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Whats up with evryone on the Frain situation, im reading "The Middleton Strain of Working Terrier" by Sean Frain at the moment and so far so good, only a short way through but a good read so far. Quote Link to post
