Neil the photo you refer to I have seen many times but never tire of ,put it up. Think some of us boys were born in the wrong era. If any one knows of full thing pass it on atb. Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Stowcote pride appears in the pedigree of the bull bitch used and owned by Nuttall in the creation of his terriers . 4 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 How times have changed. He was a sporting personality in the day, now-a-days he'd have to keep his affairs very private. I wonder what would Joe think of the little pig shaped match stick legged thing that passes for a Staff now-a-days ? 1 Quote Link to post
