Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 had a very pretty but useless half middleton half patterdale. she was a nightmare to kennel as she was a yappy b*****d, tried to take a bite out of me on more than 1 occasion. was my own fault for buying her in the first place, didnt think anyone would be stupid enough to steal that dog. ah well the jokes on him.

lurcher330 2,301 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Middelton bred lakeland dog with over 100 digs under his belt and a lot of very hard digs ,has never let me down good on yu [bANNED TEXT] and best off luck , BUT middelton was and IS a show man , so no matter how good yours or anybody elses dog (or bitch) out off this line was would you or anyone else be happy to breed to NONE workers ? when i say none workers i dont mean the odd one now and again that might have been dug to a few times over a season but terriers and there previous generations that have been dug to regularly , not once twice or 20 times a season but regular consistent graft which is what i doubt NONE off these types can take .there to fiery and look good at the start but then quit like the bullys they are? say im out offr order if you want but i speak as i find and none off this line now or then were proper digging dogs that can take continuous graft which makes a proper WORKING terrier which these days are few and VERY far between , this is only my opinion so please dont jump on me im just a nobody in the terrier world but im still entilted to an opinion that dog is only going into his 3rd season of work his 1st 2 season ye could nearly dig him every day but i have found this season he has become alot harder and needs longer lay up's ,he is the only Middelton dog i have been around working and to be honest i was told he was Middelton when i got him but i am not 100% on that ,a friend of mine got him and his litter mate together when they where about 8 or 9 weeks from a man in co Carlow who bred them and had them advertised as Middelton bred,the sister of him was a fcuk in the pen and there was killing's constantly between the 2 of them so he gave him to me and kept the bitch but she never made the grade,you could be right about them but this dog has never let me down and he has often been dug to 2 or 3 days in a row 1 Quote Link to post
