Cuzza 67 22 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well mate, if you know the fella breeding them and you know they work and can find and stay well, and if you like their style of working why go for anything else ? You'll have a better chance of getting yourself a worker off dogs you know are proven, It's just my thoughts on things for what it's worth. and in the end unless you specifically like the look of a certain type, does it really matter what they look like if they do what you want of them. Some of my best workers have been Russell crosses tho All the best 1 Quote Link to post
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have two. Bought 2 litter sisters in 2011. One was culled at 18 months the other is a good little baying dog. They were of unknown breeding, and I don't know what the rest of the litter are like. I also have a dog pup of the same breeding imported from Hungary. I know his parentage in detail, so I am expecting big things from him. I think it is more a matter of the immediate parentage/line of the litter than them being of any particular breed.

Dan Davies 7 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Brilliant advice! I really like the site and have been out with him a fair few times, maybe a bit hard for his own good some times! He's also quite a large dog so the though of being able to bring a pup on from the standard of him just a bit smaller sounds inviting! The point you made about knowing both dogs was spot on and I think ill probably have one Quote Link to post

unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 All my patterdale crosses have been black with a white bib and white toes. Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,791 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I don't do a lot with the terriers any more but mine (Sire Patt, Dam Russell) has done everything I've asked of her so far and one six hour stint to ground that I didn't ask for LOL Cheers, D. 3 Quote Link to post

Rabbiting man 1,191 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nice pup mate is he outa grafters? Yeah both sire & dam work Quote Link to post
Dan Davies 7 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 The cross really suits my needs! And ino both parents! The sire is possibly one of the best dogs I've seen! However what do you think they'd be like at bushing and working cover? 1 Quote Link to post
Dan Davies 7 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 The sire is a digging dog through and through and wouldn't entertain bushing ! But that's how it's brought up/ bred for? However with the jack Russell what are the chances of them becoming more versatile Quote Link to post
holywell crew 6 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I try not let mine bush even tho the odd time she has while out walking I try keep um away from bunnies but know dogs same breed that will do both without a problem and others that are a pain in the arse just depends on how you start them Quote Link to post
Dan Davies 7 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It really is a recipe for disaster ! Think I'm going to just have to find a good terrier for digging work and another for bushing! This littler will be probably my first choice for the digging dog ! Quote Link to post
holywell crew 6 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Are them pups advertised on preloved? Quote Link to post
