Otherwise they'd be a liability out of season. Quote Link to post

TOPPER 1,809 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 if you had a good russell to start with you wouldn t need to put bull into it 6 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 There's a few lads up and down the country that are good at it .Bull added to the right line will produce the physical effects without the backward step of too hard and mute .Used to be a lad in Truro that was a master at it ,producing some very good bull russels that bred true for years .The black dogs have always had a bit about them whether some agree or not .Well known lad in Oxford produces some cracking looking workers that have been integrated into many lines . 2 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,463 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 We'll have to agree to disagree FD, i wouldn't touch anything with bull in it with a barge pole 2 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Once the word "Bull" is mentioned novices or folk who've never seen one assume it's hard. Back in the day when good proper Russells were common and the Staff was doing what a Staff should do there were many crosses of both that were good reliable steady terriers. Then again, there's still lads around today who associate the words "Patterdale" or "Black" with suicidal. 4 Quote Link to post
