Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure there's a chapter on the dog in one of the old Terrier Yearbooks. Also gets mentioned in Didriksens book, Nick Stevens book and Plummers Fell Terrier so was pretty well known it would seem. 2 Quote Link to post

Bryan 1,362 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not all dogs could be or should have been badger dogs, a 12lbs dog can't do the same work a 22 lbs dog can. A 22 that could only work fox isn't comparable with a 12 that's faultless on a fox. All the old dogs from the fells were fox only dogs. Only a fox dog, doesn't tell the whole story, not by a long shot. B 6 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,415 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Unless he was bred for badgers Bryan. I'm not saying anything about Poker ,as he did leave some great breeding after him. He was out of Nuttalls Punch and Nuttalls Penny , so there's plenty of related terriers around to this day.

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Sound like well bred stuff to start a line with Glyn. Is that the Rags that went back to Parks blood? Quote Link to post
