iworkwhippets 12,688 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) I worked one of these in my youth, as fast as any of my whippets, take all quarry, and the bugger had brains, not like the snivelling little tykes churned out today, reared on shivering tits Edited April 26, 2011 by iworkwhippets Quote Link to post
Mosby 355 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 My dad had one in the 50's that worked to ground. I had one. Wasn't hard but caught alot of game. Never got it to ground. It was before I got into working bred dogs.It was my first terrier. Great ratter, would still be good for brush in warm months but I wouldn't ever get one for working to ground. It didn't have the sand for the job. Quote Link to post
