Guest busterdog Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've known Gordon for a fair few years, i've never been out with his dogs but he strikes me as a honest and decent person and if he's happy with what he's been digging to for the last decade or so then who are we to knock em ( a terrierman is only as good as his dogs ) .

TRUE SAXON 108 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 a very very close friend of mine bought a terrier pup off gordon mason around a decade ago. now no offence to the man, as i know he is a decent lad. when i say the terrier was USELESS i mean USELESS. you wouldn't off needed a terrier box to put it in when going hunting, as you could have put this THING into your pocket never mind a box....to be honest you would have thought brian nuttall had breed it never mind gordon mason..........there you go.......MUDD...... i must be one of the lucky one,s then as i have a bitch bred out of a nuttall bitch and a mason dog that does what is asked of her Quote Link to post

burnie69 376 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 an old picture of a dog i have thats said to be out of mason dogs,hes been a good dog for me i wished i had a kennell full like him cant comment on the man or his dogs as i dont know him. have just spoken to gordon on the phone as he has no access to the net and even less interest. He has he has never bred a rough coated dog or bitch out of any of his bitches. But he did sayit could possibly be out of one of his dogs and some one elses bitch hope that helps. Quote Link to post
Guest eastmids Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) hello burnie thanks for the reply,i got that dog from a mate of yours who kept some mason gear and apparently dug a bit with him, as far as im aware he bred the dog out of some mason stuff he kept. in what percentages i could never be sure on so more than likely its as you say,..it just come to me as being out of mason stuff,, i,ll not refur to it as such again if mr mason wants to know where the dog and info come from i,ll gladly pass on my number.
