I had a lovely dog for 3 seasons, and then he just completely stopped working ?a few people said the same, sad really and really shocking. Never really overmatched, 3 seasons ? Might be ok for some.

Ones we seen work, only went to ground a couple of times, and then others that were capable and looked the part, wouldn't go to ground but wanted to kill something around it. Maybe years and years ago, the worked, could the hunt well, if the were out of the showring

Unfortunatley alot of the gary middleton stuff from what i heard fell into the clutches of peoples desire for the show ring and money making and when that happens the working side of it falls by the wayside and you get the storey telling its a shame but its the reality of how thing have gone with alot of working terriers breeds

20+ years ago they were very good terriers .......

Used to see a lot of red one's in the UK, and in the eighties at Llangollen show, the was two black and tan, dog and Bitch, real cracking looking, but we found out that the had never worked, like you say money and looks got in the way

didn't see him work but was told first hand, when dug to, and then season after the (failure), when in the time and place) the other ones we seen was a think from the game fair in mold. His money ones. As you know he had good uns but money, not that the poor

[Moorside 642]

Ive had 2 (aledgedly) down from his stuff,, one was a real looker and the other a right runty little bugger. The looker wasnt much cop when it came down to it but the little un is a reasonable terrier. Was told over the summer that GM has given up the terriers now.....would be interested to know if anyone can confirm this?.

[pablo esc 1,598]

Don't know anything about him for about 20 years, but people had and you wouldhhave seentthem. And the men fifteen years before that. He might as well got into doing that now, parading

[pablo esc 1,598]

he probably did have some, working ones. And did he have and also white lakelands, (if it was really such. A thing) . Leggy Russell, show dog's, hardy types
