all time greats??

[Guest bone]

Here we go ,thought i would start a post about some of the all time greats? Everybody has owened or seen some very good dogs along the line,but how many of them would you call outstanding greats?? you know the ones that no money could buy?? out and out legends in there own right?.the one in a life time stuff ,and how they was bred .thought it would be a good topic to start as you always remember something that little bit special and compare all your dogs against it.

i hear that "McCoy" was something else.....big and strong and yet an out and out bayer....worked only in the biggest, baddest earths and got results...capable of multiple digs in the day to quarry that was always let go....i never saw the dog work, but love hearing those tales about him and his owner.....

[bANNED TEXT] do you call a all time great and by who's standard's.My old to dog's always did [bANNED TEXT] i wanted em to do put em in dig em out [bANNED TEXT] more could i ask.Father and son.Father was a good size red dog of good breeding son was out of a very game blackjack bred bitch.Never seemed to mess about always got the job done.One regret i'll always have was i never bred from the son(rip) he was pts last march at 11yrd after finding a earth while out walking with no locater collar on.The sire was still having the odd dig at 12 and was pts sleep at 13 with a failing liver.Too good dogs in my eyes but that's just in my eye's.

Is he out of your own breeding?

[Guest Dillon]

I have never owned an all time great but a few dogs that suited me, if you said which ones stick in your mind then there are one or two that I wish I still had.

Good luck with the season, speak soon.

All dogs I would to still like to have, I have never forgotten a dog I had even the shit ones but these few stand out.

some good replies,you never really appreciate just how good a dog you actually own is until there gone? the best dog ive ever owend was a rough black dog named Bruno.a true warrior of a dog ,with the heart of a lion.He was bred by Barry Godfrey to Jack Williamsons stud dog.He was an outstanding worker ,a dog i would of worked anywere in the country,infront of anyone!!.A truely splendid looking dog ,with the ear carridge of a border and white socks?.He served me well.and never came away from his quarry.Sadly lost him to Lepto while raking the tips .R.I.P Bruno ,gone but never forgotten.

two of the greats

 

 

 

B.Nuttalls penny and punch, and as with most great terriers they could reproduce the goods in there pups , unlike some which are classed as greats just because the line they came fromwas poor rarely produced the goods :whistle:
