Prospect ready to begin.

[grafter-man 43]

Just thought I would post a few pics of my fell type, prospect that I am just getting started on. He is really game driver and shows a strong dislike for vermin. So far he has shown well but again I'm just getting started with him, after a full season I will know more about him, so only time will tell. all the best mates. Grafter-Man

Thanks STUNTMAN, His true working weight should be about 15 or 16 pounds, and that may be giving him some. He has some fat right now but I plan to trim him down a bit and weigh him. I will let you know. He is not quite 12 inches tall but he is solid mate, a little wad of muscle he is, so he weighs a bit more than he looks. Not that it makes a feck, but I can span him with my hands and still have a bit of finger overlapping. I've seen some that was not hand spannable, but, they didn't know it, and Pure Hunt Drive got them there, stuffed themselves places some small dogs wouldn't dare go.

 

I do not know what happened to the thread and I have given every word you lads said, attempting to be open-minded, but, I will still argue the point that it is impossible for a 13 month old bitch, and a stud that has never been entered to earth, to be worthy of breeding to protect an investment or money. Working Terriers should be bred to work, and only bred because they have proven themselves worthy of breeding by displaying outstanding working traits in the bush. TRUE WORKING TRAITS SHOULD BE WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT PRESERVING OR PROTECTING NOT A CASH INVESTMENT OR FECKING MONEY!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!

Thanks for the replys lads, he is roughly 18 months old, I wanted to make sure he was mentally mature as well as physically before I even started him. He has seen only a limited amount of vermin as of now because I just got started with him, but, as I said, "He is showing a very strong dislike for Vermin, and, is showing well so far. all the best.

Sire and dam was and is workers, whom in turn bred from workers for generations, and he goes back to the Old True Working Nuttall lines. (Punch, Penny, etc.) I know I have read a lot of slander about Nuttall, but, I think there is good and bad in every line, it is up to us as individuals to work our stock to ensure the proper traits are in tact with EVERY INDIVIDUAL TERRIER, and only breed the terriers that prove themselves by displaying these traits... all the best lads.

Sounds like he was a real grafter, it always makes it hard on the heart when a good one is lost. cheers

I believe he stated that he had a hard dig in which he had three foxes dead when they broke through to him. Or that would be my guess. Evidently the little terrier did his part 110% and left a tad bit too much of himself in the field that day and couldn't recover from the stick he took accomplishing his feat. There is a bright side to this though, the wee dog could have walked away from the quarry, point blank!! It is a shame that he didn't pull through, but, he is damn sure worth being proud of knowing he stayed when about % of the terriers today couldn't and wouldn't accomplish what he did and it speaks volumes as to what working type the sire and dam is producing. My question to you wipeout is= Can the breeding that produced him be repeated?, or, does he have any living siblings that display similiar traits that he did? Terriers such as him don't come very often. For him to show that much worth in the field it would be hard to believe that a breeding that produced him wouldn't produce something close through a sibling or repeat breeding. all the best

[rabbit slayer 22]

looks a little bow legged in that pic mate. could be just the angle of the camera. You got any other terriers that are working mate? and is it only the nuttel line you working at the minute?
