craigemo 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 My missus has agreed to let me have another dog as part of a compromise. I already have a Fell and a parson terrier. Personally I'm not bothered what it looks like as long as it is from good stock, but as I said, it's a compromise and the wife's conditions are this: It must be a smooth coated, short legged and docked dog no older than 12 weeks!!!!! I live in South Yorkshire but will travel for the right dog. Thanks in advance. Please keep any sarcastic comments to yourself. As I said, I don't care what it looks like but the Wife has spoken!!!!

craigemo 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just goes to show the problems with people breeding dogs just for the sake of showing or cuddling. I bet most russells are now bred for showing; whereas 30 years ago I would have have had loads of replys (if the net was invented). It's either the above, or my wife is too fussy!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I am expecting a litter of Pat x JRT's (diggers) after chrimbo and want some public opinion. If you were buying a terrier pup, would you pay £60 extra for a docked tail?

moosedog 2 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi Craig i might be interested in one of those pups but i would like one with a docked tail ,any pics of the sire and dam, as for the £60 extra for docking it all depends on how much you want for the pups in the first place and wether all the vet paper work was present, i have some friends who still dock there pups themselves and sell them in the working terrier circle, once at the vets the owner just says the pup was found abandoned seems to work where i come from Link to post Share on other sites

craigemo 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Cheers guys, Have just been told a story of someone getting a £2000 fine for docking! A freind told me who breeds Patts and it's scared him so much he has left his latest litter with tails. I'm going to tell him about those bands. Cheers. My mate got quoted £60 by a vet to dock the pups so I thought about selling them for £190 with vet docked tails. TBH it depends on the size of the litter 'cos if she only has around 4 I will get rid of them within a circle of friends. How you getting on with yours Vin? You will have to come and have a look at ours when they are born 'cos you only live 2 mins aways from me. To the dude in Alaska: You can have one for free my friend on one condition. I get to deliver it myself. It's always been my ambition to go to Alaska. Am thinking about going on a cruise there in 2009. Craig Link to post Share on other sites
