neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If only Mr Harcombe knew how much his political views, through his mag, probably cost him over the years through folk not re-subscribing ,but it's his magazine and he's entitled to write or publish in it what he want's. Personally I stopped getting it because of the lack of terrier and historical articles (Anyone remember the Welsh Doctor who used to contribute excellent articles) and too much whippet and going for a walk in the swamp articles. Bosun mention The Working Terrier mag which then became The Working Terrier and Running Dog and they were good. Before them was the Working Terrier Yearbooks and they were edited by D.H. and IMO the first editions of those are proper collector items. They were good. 3 Quote Link to post
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,131 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 The swamp articles were tidy, The doctor things bang on also, I got the mag from 95 until 210 I think. Just a savage decrease in the calibre of stuff , I looked forward to Cumbrian , darcy, rich, Sarah Moffatt even Tom Riley every month but they all stopped really and i was sickened by the lack of articles I didn't mind the political stuff, I was pointed out the west wales stuff by someone and struggled to look the same again at them Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I reckon the old Yearbooks were so good because it was the only voice Terriermen had to express their views, a lot would delve into their dogs history and give accounts of their dogs and digs openly and it made for a great read. But nowadays the Internet is here and every Tom Dick and Harry thinks they know everything and hide behind usernames to shoot anyone down in a ball of flames if they dare say something good about their own dog or their line and it's forced everybody back into their little circles and to keep quiet which is a crying shame IMHO. 2 Quote Link to post

I would say the complete opposite mate .The internet and this site really,opened up the whole country to me where as before I joined I was tied to a few half hearted lads .Life is what you make it .Forgot the bickering on here ,its not real life just banter going nowhere.Post what you want and defend it .Some seem to centre their whole life around this place rather than treat it as light relief from the boring side of life ,like work .Mr Harcombe has a talent for writing no doubt and I agree with his political stance and without the internet and the travels its brought me ,I would be looking up to the man but having seen him in action ,doubling up in a puppy spot really ,my enthusiasm deflated right there and then . One thing I do admire is his forthright beliefs that he stands by and is not afraid to put in print .His continual slagging of rifelmen however did piss me off when in the next sentence he writes of shooting a brace in a stop end ,bit hypocritical to my way of thinking .I think personally the mag has run its course but just my view . 3 Quote Link to post

C.green 3,231 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I used to enjoy his mag and respect to him to still be out doing what he does at his age but some of the people he lets write lurcher articles is part of the reason I don't get it now. Quote Link to post
onion jonny 527 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 all you lads that dont like the present writers should send in articles on your days out then you cant complain as it would be full of well written and exciting days, articles of marathon courses and epic digs and they would all be true, of course they would as the lads on here wouldnt add bits on or miss bits out .....would they ? 7 Quote Link to post
