I was on a dig to a chocolate dog named CHESTER belonging to some English lads that were over here diging with a another English man now living in Ireland.It was in the late 80s earlt 90s cant remember exactly,maybe not the same dog but a right good dog,very game and new his job.

Scent i dug to the dog thirty times are more nothing ever went over the too of the dog you only ever had to dig one hole and the stuff was there

A mate of a mates brothers mate once told me that the dog was 11/27ths Herdwick ram bred. And that is gospel.

Wasnt questioning the dogs working capabilitys in any way , only suggesting that there could have been white dogs in his make up . Never saw the dog work but saw stuff bred down from him and all where very decent steady dogs .

Didn't s'e of Wakefield once owned Chester before selling him to Lm?

SE owned chester before LM sent someone to buy the dog.So im told

 

The fella who owned Chester before LM told me the dog was out of a sealy/russell.A mate of mine is good mates with the man who owned chester first and he told me the same.And like someone has already said the dog was well known for throwing white pups.

Take what SE says with a pinch of salt !

The man could not lie straight in bed !

If that's the case he'll never be without company in the terrier world

How come such a dog passed hands? A decent dog wouldn't leave our company. Or was it between digging buddies? How would one of my dogs become famous? Ha messin. I remember a dog called duke Wigan area, I was offered a bitch out of it but was sceptical as breeding was iffy, I was offered a day out with the dog. It was 10 years old, it worked 3 places from light till dark , some stamina, and loved it. Anyone know its breeding? The bitch I had of it was a Jekyll and Hyde . But that duke was a belter, that day. Did Chester produce workers of what ratio, I think if 1 in six graft good these days that's a result, although its getting better!

Lm's Chester,, anybody know the true breeding of this dog? Said to be out of a Sealyham/Russell dog to a black bitch? And was bred in Essex before going up to s'e,,,,

The supposed breeding of this dog is on paper for all to see, come one you budding Sherlock's out there, haha.
