I am really considering a plummer. but wanted some opinions. some pics would be grate. thank you from what i have seen plumbers seem to do the job ok they also seem to work well as a pack not too much scrapping etc,but to be honest i think that most strains of terrier will rat. our pack consists of beddy x whip,2 lakelands,1 border,cocker x lakeland,3 whippets and my little lurcher beddy whip x collie grey....my kennels are nearly full,only joking lol...the cocker x lakie and the lurch are mine Quote Link to post
