As a young teen me and my mates all had white bow legged types . Then one of my mates the first one to pass he's driving test goes up to Ken and buys a black un 12 months old he was. Anyhow takes him to some local woods , Ken had told my mate the dog hadn't been to ground . We Let's the dog go and he flys to ground ten minutes later the dog draws out a dead fox. My mate was over the moon with him we had some good digs with that dog. A lot of people might of bought dogs of Ken back in the day but I tell ya what a lot of the did graft and if I could buy that dog now I'd pay for it £££ and wouldn't think twice .

Did you ever see a dog called Buster that Steve P from Orpington had from ken in the early 80s

no mate heard about it If it's the same one I'm thinking of .

Did you ?

Yes mate dug him a fee times in the late 80s early 90s my first terriers were sired by him.The fella who I got my first terriers from had Steve terriers off him when he packed in and slso stuff straight from Ken and went back to Ken for matings.

Think I might know the guy you're talking about did he course with Lee K? Buster Was an old dog when I saw him but was still a solid reliable dog.My first really good terrier was by Buster to his grandaughter who was sired by Spartacus.

Mate we never knew what we had back then especially being a youngun I just thought that's what terriers did.It wasn't until after being at it a few years and going out with some of the older blokes I'd heard going on about their dogs at the shows and F and M meetings that I realised how good that stuff was or how shirt their stuff was.Back then I think every other dog that come off of Ken's place was called Simon.That fella if I remember was called BB.I met him when I went coursing with him and Tony W from Erith

As terrier men go Pabs you must have seen just about every dog in the country go at some time or another .Fair play to you ,how's the reporting job going .

[pablo esc 1,598]

Nothing to report. Even though the lads and the mates etc would still be chatting on about the dog.if ya get me drift.

To be honest the best I saw were out out of kizzy who was by Spartacus back to Buster who was her grandfather on mothers side.As soon as we started doubling up on the Spartacus blood we never got anything that special.Kizzy was a really class bitch and when put back to the older(pretty spartacus)blood a he'll of producer but doubling on that spatacus blood they seemed to come quite puny and at best were reckless hard fox dogs.

[pablo esc 1,598]

Oh.I would of thought when saw that black dog of him the would of carried on like that .it was a nice hard working animal. I think lad paid eigty quid then of him. Good size head the dog .very ruff coated.

Hi downsouth do you know of a little black rough dog called Rascal that was given to a lad called Nathan

[downsouth 7,217]

I know Nathan and I know of the Rascal dog you're talking about.Brightmore dog wasn't he?

[ROM1 131]

You would have to go back over 5 gen to find any Bills dogs. and he also had a bit of Kens blood also way back. I was given a picture of him, and was just wondered what became of him, and how he turned out as there was only 3 dogs in the litter, and I only ever seen 1 dog work
