My last days hunting with him, he was as good as they say with both terrier and spade..............his people skills needed work though ?

I no longer post to this site, however I watch. I saw Smithy several times at work, he was a  very big lump of a dog. Not kept at a sporting weight as he was always kennelled,  tall as yr knees. I saw

Late 90's granddaughter of smithy most of my stuff is down from her.

Did the dog throw alot of big pups or was that dependent on the bitch he was put to 

Do you mean Smithy FL?

If so, its true there was some bigguns out of him but i've seen a good few of  average size too.

A mate of mine had a good bitch of about 12". She lived to a ripe old age too, think she was about 17 when she went. He used to boast she was the last dog direct out of Smithy alive.

Don't know much about the man or his line but the one thing that struck me about his book (and I could be wrong as it's been a while since I read it, so I'm open to correction), he mentioned breeding poor terriers and states that while he'd only use a v good stud, he would breed off bitches who weren't top class, but whose brothers were very good - Take a chance! An honest admission I thought as opposed to the usual spiel of "I only breed off top class dogs and bitches" etc, etc.."Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear!" Springs to mind, just look at the recent post depicting KG's ad for Spartacus at stud, claiming that at the age of 2.5yrs he sired 35 litters, 100% of whose progeny proved in turn to be excellent workers... Some dog lol!
