You guys in Wales have a great reputation for working your terriers and for me personally,Plummers (which are my passion). Good on you. I like the Remlap lines who's blood is in my lines ( Trentside Plummers). My mate Jamie Smith, also from Stoke, has remlap in his dogs ( Trojan Plummers). Good hunting guys for the 2016/2017 season.

You have some cracking plummers there !! Tanner is doing great here hopefully she will have a few more this season she's a really nice type ! Iv a real soft spot for plummers all the best for the season

Hi mate, yeh well over a year ago we did one of Liam's perms, hence one of the photos. I don't think Peter has his Plummers now. Not sure to be honest but I think he parted with them. A pup he had off me (Samson) ended up with Steve Parfitt. I love the ratting. We are trying to build up our perm' right now, knocking on farms etc. Do you know Jamie Smith, also from Stoke? We do a lot of ratting/rabbiting together but he's more into the digging and his lurchers. He's a belting dog man and good mate of mine. ( Trojan Plummers ).

especially now that I've resigned from the European Plummer Terrier Society ( EPTS) Committee. I finally got tired of all the politics.

 

Good to see you here Phill - many in the breed are thinking you left the epts committee as you were the only one the pta would deal with so forcing them to work with dum and dummer - but hey cynics huh lol

 

Lots of the Trentside stuff has been rehomed over the water - rescued from pet homes including one of the pair of working dog pups sold to a novice pet home - he is doing well here

for any one interested lads........

 

i took tanner out for a few hours yesterday, i started the morning using her to flush pheasents off some swede fields so i could get a brace for tea. ounce t

his was achieved i walked a few earths but all was quiet. before long i had lost the little bitch and after getting the red brick out i located her.......in a drain!! she was working her fox well by the sounds of it so i began down. this drain was gushing with freezing water and i was convinced that no self respecting fox would be in such a cold rank place.

 

we dug until we reached the pipe and then used the sharp tooth to break into the pipe! i pulled back tanner and it was clear she had not had things all her own way! i peered up the pipe and was mortified/outstanding to find no stop end.......and no quarry? after a little arguing with my old man we tried to make sense of the whole thing. it was clear tanner had engaged her quarry, but where had it gone? and this drain was atleast half full of freezing water. i decided to let her run the drain if she was willing and after dropping her in i heard her bay immediately, so out i pulled her but still nothing up the pipe!!?? after leaving her loose down there for the third time i watched her with the torch as she edged forward carefully and BANG!! i saw a vulpine muzzle strike down from above the little bitch.

 

on inspection a foot or so further on up the pipe was a hole in the roof of the pipe, and charlie had taken up residence up there and was as dry as a cork! i think its these little cenarios that keep me addicted to hunting old charlie, he never ceases to amaze me!!
