BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Never seen a plumber terrier me what terriers are they made from and why do they have fits and die early as someone said in this thread? ,, some nice terriers on here Beagle, bull, fell and russell blood was used in their creation 1 Quote Link to post
hedz31 1,308 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 yet to have owt worth writing about, that one old dog , but last off he would get knocked about and i only used him in easy spots, hand on heart i didnt want the old dog to quit after 9 yrs or so. Had a nice bitch that was also a looker, she had a few fits and then was pts. i wouldnt have bred from her if i had known about the fits. my hearts out of plummers, fingers crossed the" black slugs" make it Nice to see a bloke that has given them a bash and is genuine and honest about what he did with them earthwork wise 1 Quote Link to post
Britishbull24 131 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 They are made up of beagle, fell, bull and Russell. There is a fair few lads out there that are commited to working there Plummers. The problem is there is more people in the breed that are committed to the show scene and nothing else. There dogs catch a few rats every now and again and they think that means there workers. People are also still trying to breed to type first and foremost instead of worker to worker. This alone will hold the breed back. 2 Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 did the bitch that was put to him recently take at all? Sadly she did not take and that will be Rip's last chance..his tri colour grand son is a decent dog though..and i'm sure it won't be firing blank's.. 2 Quote Link to post

This alone will hold the breed back. The father of my first bitch stayed 28 hours in a very deep place-couldnt be registered as he was tricoloured-i.m.o thats the problem with the breed-other plummer marked dogs (basenjis,king charles spaniels,beagles)also come in tricolour-it may not be worthwhile trying to breed out.If people breed for colour and show points then other qualities are bound to suffer. 5 Quote Link to post

There are ''authorities' on the type that would disagree tinytiger.......There are also a huge number of once useful breeds that are now second rate working dogs at best,that prove it to be true..........
