foy 15 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Exactly my point, how can a true terrier man breed from returned failures! No matter what the animal you don't breed from quitters or terriers not tried and tested! By way i am no expert but no idiot neither! Have a mate who dealt with nuttal and being young and new to game was taken in, lost few quid and years trying to get gold from lead, By they way show me some speed we don't work your native quarry , different ball game altogether and that's why in USA terriermen over there have respect for nuttal but true working terrier men here have no respect or a kennel of so called true workers due to piss poor breeding coupled with no or lack of testing! Odd workers may still be found but it is questionable about their blood! But people still use nuttal as a name phrase to explain the blood line or for them to look good or appear to look good by stating breed history bit like Middleton and the rest of the phoney brigade like the Russell firm with their pedigree names! Yeh yeh! 2 Quote Link to post

spindolero 1,110 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i suppose the other way of looking at people selling/studding is that it puts a lot of decent blood out where it would never have got. if smithy or spartacus had been kept within a tight circle would it of been to the detriment of the working terrier in the UK overall??.....discuss 1 Quote Link to post

Moorside 642 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have to agree with gone to earth 100%, people love to bash the famous names on here. Its like anything in life if you make a few quid there's always someone who wont like it. And ultimately if they sold total shite they would have been found out and many many years ago and we wouldnt even mention em now. 2 Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) That's definitely one of Brian's new breeds (pugs), seen a few up around here that he's sent up. The one's up here have been tiny, half hearted fox dogs at best. Edited September 12, 2012 by Rabbit Hunter Quote Link to post
