Famous Terriermen

[Bootsha 1,306]

Always woundered how people become famous dog men and the internet also is a big factor !! Bet way is get your head down and put the miles in dont worrie what anyone else has in there kennels worrie about whats in your own thats the way I look at it but I do like to sit down and listen to the older generation tell the storys of days gone by!! Hunting is the best feeling in the world when its going right and the worse when going wrong but the true dog men and the ones that pick the heads up after a shit day not throw the towel in !!

Your uncle has had a very good influence on you for you to write what you just have, i think he'd have put very similar himself. Give him my regards when you see him next.

As for authors , I buy there book to read for a bit of light entertainment not to judge who ever wrote it. Anyone who does different is a bit strange in my eyes.

but surely the content of the book will lead you to make a judgement about the author, not everyone will like certain styles the same as with the internet

Not really, none of the books Iv read are full of fact & advice etc, which is what I'd judge a author by, the books are just like story time, am I bothered if its not all true? Not really aslong as its a good read I'm happy.

On the flip side, without writers most of us would never of heard of great terriermen like B Gripton, F Buck etc, they never sought fame but their exploits are well worth reading about.

fame is always blown out of proportion, these famous guys can only do what every other genuine terrier man can do, and thats: work their dogs and breed good stock. you'll only meet fame if you seek it.

Famous my arse well known to a small group of people with an interest Ive got loads of books on all subjets harry potters more beleaverble than some of the lastest terrier ones

Never read a hunting book well read maybe 5 pages of a lurcher book when I was about 13 that's all. Everything I know I'v either learned from elders taking me out or in the field trial and error doing what I love. No amount of books can prepare you for the things you come across out hunting its getting out there and doing it that makes us who we are. All these names meen nothing, they haven't earned there names by taking people out and showing them the ropes it's by printing books and people reading them and spreading there names. It's the silent people who breed between them selves and don't sell there pups to [NO TEXT TALK] with a stamp like eg, nuttall x wheeler bla bla bla. These are the real terrier men who do it for the love of the sport and are driven by seeing there own well bred dogs work, not just to show some body how good there dogs work to up the price, but to prove to them selves there worthy of a pen to sleep in and the food there fed. IMHO atb ucrbuch
