Mr Burrell has kept this strain pure for many generations and it is jealously guarded.The original dogs were as follows.

 

 

Dam / Sire

Rip Off Rita X Load of Cobblers

 

These two dogs produced a big litter which included,"Having a Laugh"",Taking The Piss","Tell Me Another One","I Wanna Tell You A Story",and the most famous one," Once Upon A Time",which became a great brood bitch in it's retirement ,and perpetuated the line with such animals as "Making It Up", "I Even Convince Myself",who are legends even to this day.

N .B.

There are many rough coated "bitsas "out there,who ,at first glance look indistinguishable from Mr Burrell's strain, do not be fooled, pick them up and inspect them, if they haven't got Mr Burrell's name tattooed on their arse they are NOT TUMBLERS,and therefore ,not worth a tenth of the price of Mr Burrell's pups.

 

I heard he had a dog called "one way Conversation" it had stamina to burn it went on and on and on and on and on and on....

No-being a bull x would make it a donkey! A tumbler is obviously an even clumsier dog that falls arse over tit when catching a rabbit.

Even supposing these claims to be accurate, why would a dog that rugby tackles its prey everytime to bring it down , be considered an asset to one's kennels?

 

A dog that knowing it has its last chance of a catch , makes a desperate do or die final effort is acceptable, even desirable ,imo ,but one that utilises this method every time to catch would not be an animal that would expect to survive long without injury to ribs , shoulders, or neck ,if run on rough terrain.

And it would not be one I'd want to be on the other end of the lead with.

i dont know what makes them but i did see one work and it was very good i cant say about all of them but the one i seen very good lamper clever good temperment and it was used for everything r/h/f/d before ban of course and work well with terriers i would have it in my kennells anytime

 

clearly the breed has a lot to do with it but i think with any dog you get out what you put in i was impressed with what i saw

Ive seen a couple of litters they were so variable in appearance I don't see how they can be called a strain, unless that refers to one's credibility.You've seen a good one? Well Iv'e seen a bad one that was a pain in the arse constanly growling at other dogs yet when run on big game it lacked any heart at all ,refusing to go in ,and just running alongside it was too slow for rabbits ,and had no nuts for anything else, one swallow does not make a summer in either case, but as far as I am concerned the term tumbler is a marketing gimmick.

Excellent Inan! The problem is that like so many fanatics, the man believes what he is saying, and to those people who are new to the game, comes across as that old romantic, rambling type lurcher man. It really is a case of waffle blinding the over eager and gullible.

what IS A lURCHER!

 

 

a LURCHER is a sight hound blood bases dog that is used for hunting.............

 

 

 

what exactly is a TUMBLER, seems ye trying yer hardest to not answer the question GRAVEL, whats the matter did ye have doubts or just not full understand its meaning yerself

Let me just get the Keepnet out.

 

 

not exactly the full shilling are ye fella

 

sounds as tho its you thats been caught by the norfolk tumbler brigade, i just wanna know why the name is cos it they are bred in norfolk, or do they actually tumble

 

my guesses are tho that no c**t will come to explain it, cos no c**t beleives in them, yaself included, have ye got a litter planned mate??? is that why ye are promoting these dogs

 

Gravel doesn't like answering questions (Plummer pup thread???)he just blusters and bullshits and then gets personal???
