John Park

[Simoman 110]

Just wondering if anyone has kept or keeps stock from John Parks. He seems one of the few "names" I haven't heard a bad word about.......

This bitch of mine has some Parkes blood,and old Nuttall

 

The dam is old nuttall and grafts well for her owner,the sire who had alot of Parks blood was hard on all quarry,and this bitch(photo) will start this season if i can hold her back! J

interesting post,i too am interested in the dogs from the last teriermen,what other lines are still going

(don't mean to hijack your thread Simoman)i had a dog which had Cowan's bloodlines in,he was very hard

but was one of the very best dog's i ever owned,even though he was on the big side,but still spannable

(just),not many people ever mention the old time terrier breeders and it would be interesting to see how many of the old terrier lines are still bred today especially on a 'live medium',all the best,

Higgins.

I had dogs either off John, or out of his stuff a few years back. To be honest Simo I couldn't fault 'em, though the dogs did take a while to settle down to start, they took a bit more stick than I'd like as youngsters.

 

Wolfy off here still keeps the line and if you want to know the caliber of his stock his last post should answer that!
