rymney boy 0 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi Anyone can inform me about Brightmoor strain?Did it exist this days??Anyone has experience with them? Heard that they was very good & hard?? Thanks the brightmoor strain is still going strong some of the best lines are kept in wales and Scotland these dogs are the dogs you have your 12&14 hour digs with and at the end get your fox not a dog stuck to a root but like all good strains they have there bad stuff but they are still there i know of one man who has absolutely pure brightmoor lines he has not worked them for few years now but they are the real McCoy this old dog and bitch are half brother & sister but they have thrown some of the best digging dogs in recent history there prodigy have begun to make their own mark as far as i know this fellow has just resumed his breeding program to help out some struggling dog boys who cant seem to get the bitches he recons it is all down to breding for smaller dogs the downsizing is producing all right dogs but for some reason the bitches aren't working his strain of brightmoor dogs throw some big dogs but the dogs and the bitches work equally as well i have Seen his old dog getting to a fox a puny little bitch could not or would dig on to. you could not i hate to say this span this old dog with three hands the moral of this a big brightmoor will get its quarry because he wants it not because running so fast through the earth he bumps into it and scares it out Quote Link to post
DeanD 3 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Rymie... if this is all in the UK why are they trying to breed smaller. btw... your post if a very broad statement. Me thinks you're going to have to prove what you say with some of the people on here. :11: Quote Link to post

Me thinks you're going to have to prove what you say with some of the people on here. :11: Dean D you seem like a knowledgeable fella,but what i think Rymie meant was that the guy was trying to restart his Brightmoor breeding program again to breed for smaller males,i don't think he meant he was trying to breed a smaller type of terrier overall,if i'm wrong i'll hold my hands up,all the best everyone, Higgins.

Me thinks you're going to have to prove what you say with some of the people on here. :11: i was not saying he is trying to breed from smaller dogs what i was saying is he recons the best thing for any lines is breed from the big strong dogs to keep your lines working as breeding from small dogs you tend to start loosing some thing in the bright moor lines i am referring to what seams to be hard to find is good strong working bitches the dogs down size OK but the bitches end looking the part but don't do the business like i said the bitches look good but lift them up there is no weight to them i cant explain what is going wrong but breeding from good strong dogs even the ones some people find to big for fox work seems to keep a good balance in the lines you whant a smaller dog pick the small pups but breed out of the strongest dog and the lines tend to keep them selves wright Quote Link to post

CumbrianJack 2 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok well all the brightmore dogs & brightmore bred dogs i have came across in Cumbria have all been relatively small, about 13-14" with very spannable chests, good decent heads for the size of the dog, hard jackets & majority black, all in all real workmanlike terriers that get the job done. I haven't seen one that was big? what would you call big? any pictures of these dogs. Bills son still has some dosen't he? Quote Link to post
