Rake aboot 4,935 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I do sometimes wonder if some folk don`t rip into Plummer to stroke their own ego Not saying all do, but I feell that some folk just love bringing him up to make themselves sound all guru and knowledgable. Yeh, his books had some fibs in them, big deal, he was a writer. Hands up all those who read his books while getting into the sport ! Hands up who prefers to listen to folk rip him up now thats he`s dead.! Quote Link to post

darlo 20 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Id love to read a honest biography about him, whatever your opinion of him, the man was a interesting character,and a good writer, bullshit or not. 1 Quote Link to post
Rory4 267 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 read his books they were good got me to get my first lurcher now the rest is history! but why he needed to create his own breed I dont get it and reading someone has said he kept his dogs in bad conditions loses respect Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 i enjoyed his books. as a young man. i keep and work his terriers and must admit there is good and bad in the breed. and the folk that keep em. but i'm not daft enough to believe all the hype. i believe his stockmanship left a lot to be desired. and you couldnt say he wouldnt do a bad turn. as he did that to more than one person that i know of.

boyo 1,398 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 i remember at one of the first lambourn shows bert gripton r.i.p.was talking about him and was ripping him to peices calling him every name under the sun .and none of it complimentry. 1 Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) i remember at one of the first lambourn shows bert gripton r.i.p.was talking about him and was ripping him to peices calling him every name under the sun .and none of it complimentry. i think some plummer books went missing from his game fair stall i may be wrong but the story was bert had dumped em in a bin ........ i read his books as a youngster but a lot of the older terriermen of the day did`nt speak highley of him ....
