Any man who is still out twice a week at his age, deserves a bit of respect IMHO I hope im still half as keen as him at his age

The bloke is doing what he loves and shares it with all and sundry via the odd book and article. No doubt he has to be careful what exact words get written, but seems to be a que of other lads in the

slate jasons line asmuch as you like but no other line in the country works and throws workers as consistantly as his at this moment in time, FACT!!! now thats a bold statement.. pinch of salt is re

Any man that is still out hunting at his age deserves some credit, but like has been said before its not wise to believe everything you read in a book, i've yet to see a book written about failed digs and jacking dogs but i bet if all the "big names" did a chapter each it would be thicker than the Encylopedia Britanica.... ;)

none of that happens in Wales mate, 100% success rate here.......................................... :tongue2:

I hardly have had much to do with the man, but have found him a gentleman. & I wish him well.

Thats as fair a comnet as i've heard on the subject. Lot of boys out there who work dogs but dont tell anyone about it. Good comment on your part lucky.

Harcombe and Powell arent saying they have good dogs and everybody elses dogs are shit. Its everyone here getting in a tissy about it and having a pop at them when really theyve done nothing wrong and its nothing to do with them.

It's not a Snub too any god lads with there own lines , type ect , as I've said before these terriers are in the Limelight because the bloke who works alongside these type runs the Best/most popular a mag concerning this type off terrier work and he can only write/comment on what he see's and Know's , which is read by like Minded Terrier Men , so the Type becomes well known through reading an Honest Dedicated opinion on what The Authour Witnesses Time and Time Again , should be taken as its meant just an Educated Man out Walking The Walk So Should Be Respected When Talking The Talk !

well, where do I start! firstly within these posts a term is used midnight, this is a rhyme word used for midnight mass rhymes with grass!! Anyone want to clear the air regarding the story between him and his son!!

 

Secondly many of the stories regarding days out are fabricated as I know people who have been present! They to are embarrassed!! Yes I respect any person of his age who gets out and continues to support their sport, however, double standards and lies in any sport or walk of life I cant accept! Its not needed, truth is truth, breeding off none workers, showing, keeping failures and breeding off them is a no no, IMO!

 

For example, and here is a cracker, Mr Harcombe calls himself a nationalist, he openly admits to supporting the BNP, which is his choice and I respect his choice, too many times he brings this into HIS MAGAZINE which I dont agree with, but like all he wants to broad cast in HIS MAG he can!

 

Also it is said he doesn't support breeding for shows/selling pups for monitory gain, well lets here the defences to this, he deals himself and his close GOD JASON with (pups) with a foreign person who is clearly none white! (double standards! or does this not count when making money) This person, a Belgium, is a prolific dog breeder and seller of pups and have a guess who he promotes? Yes Harcombe Powell and Gordon, like Mr Hacombe does in HIS MAG!

 

We had the lies and kiss the arse of Morris Richards Era, Parksy era, fact of the matter is the magazine is the broadcasting paper for self delivery of THEIR BREEDING AND MONEY MAKING INTERESTS!! How can you slag shows but your closest friend loves them and uses them for glory and money, the word we r looking for is hypocrite!

 

Their choice, but dont talk shit, dont ruin a magazine with your own agenda, money making. Gordon Mason, breeder and exporter, Jason Powell the same, they breed FROM SO MANY NOT TRIED AND TESTED BITCHES and SELL for huge sums of money for fame, not fame in the field, fame in the ring! And heres a question for all you arse licking disciples, what about the moral welfare of the brood bitches!! Would you breed the arse out of a good loyal working bitch?? Personally any breeding should be planned and needed to conserve, preserve and sustain working lines, and the number 1 rule is DONT SELL!! DONT GIVE OR SELL TO SHOW HEADS OR OTHER BREEDERS! Pups to people who deserve em!

 

All My opinion, been in the company of the man although not direct, heard the stories, I am not a child!!!

 

 

Thank fully seen this thread while away by using friends PC, may have missed it as I am away for a weekend with terriers, not all great workers, decent, get you by and odd good un that were bred amongst a close circle and remain in a close circle, never been in a show ring neither!!

 

good hunting and digging to all you genuine lads, youngsters, 1 lesson in life we all have to learn when growing up, dont believe all you hear, dont believe what you see, unless its in the field/hole, then you see whats what!!

 

And the above is not to slag individuals as they maybe nice genuine people out side the working terrier world, its slagging their beliefs, lies, morals and principles in MY WORLD!!

 

TA TA 4 NOW!

the truest words written yet!! On thl.

Never spoke to man, don't like or dislike him and know very little about his terriers but as an author he is far from the best, unless you need to roe read same thing over and over again, not a dig at man but he is nowhere near the best author some make him to be. I find his writing very boring tbh
