Wilky 0 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 i've just bought a new camera so i thought i'd take a couple of pics of some my rollers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A blacksmith up the road from me keeps them and it tickles me watching them fall from the sky, but what's the difference between rollers and tumblers? or is it just the same thing.

lucky 578 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 tumblers like westies just flick over once or twice but rollers should roll fast and tight with a bit of depth i was told years ago there was some good tumblers about but like most things the show breeders bred the roll out of them because to them type and colour came first.
