If you don't mind me asking ?in the1990,s 95 i think Oh OK, Brian brought one over in the late 80s that self entered at 8 months and I was just wondering if it was around the same time. It was a son of Mickeys he brought over and it did a serious job on it's first dig which was 8 foot. I ended up with a son of this dog who's heart was bigger than his brain, LOL. Quote Link to post
roundmouth86 251 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 It probably is. But every man is different and he prefers the others over terriers.. He actually does keep terriers of his fathers breeding he has one called tazo down from Zulu Quote Link to post

chilli 381 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 His older stuff was of a good stamp but this stuff he's been breeding since exporting to America isn't of a good stamp to me . Jmho Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Heard some say that and he done the american thing but he told me he stopped that because of all money costs for the dog and when just sell one here as pup. This was about ten years or more he commented one evening Quote Link to post

foxhunting1 74 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Interesting reading....... How many of you have actually been hunting / digging with Mr Brian Nuttall ? I spent many a good year hunting with Brian, listening to the stories from yesteryear and learning as we went along our duties. How many of you can say you have dug 28ft to one of Brian's dogs (Ratty) ? She spent some 18 hrs approx in the ground and did exactly what we all expect from our dogs......... Yes he's a gentleman, yes he's forgotten more than most will ever know................. And yes today his terriers are too small but still a gentleman and has probably done more for the working Patterdale than any other single man.

I wouldn't say they are too small just smaller than his original stuff .He told me once he purposely let size slip but I think he had no choice in the matter ,breeding from same stuff continually does that .I don't agree with some things he's done but overall what is there to moan about .The smooth coated ,bull headed pat type will be about long after he's gone and will have stamped its gene on many a yard .I wish I'd taken up the offer to dig with him in his prime. 4 Quote Link to post
