single handed russells

[scoot 1]

Does anybody work single handed russells, dogs that stay in deep places, dig on in awkward spots and find in big sets, i ask because i think the honest white dogs are like hens teeth, and a line of this type even harder to find, i am not saying they dont exist but as i say not all to common.

Like this one?

 

 

Good and bad in all colors, just depends on how hard you look or how lucky you are. JMO

i really dont think youve been looking hard enough or know enough people/lines.......... there are MANY good russells out there doing the job day in day out. its a complete myth that there isnt!

well i'm no "terrier man" but i've done a fair bit of digging over the years...and i've had and seen some decent russells....that stay until dug..

maybe they are like hens teeth but could'nt that be said about all terriers.....

the one i have now is only a young dog but he's had over 30 digs....and never once failed....not all hard digs but he's had a few awkward ones.....and theres lads on here that can verify this.....

Patch....my castrated Russell .

Yeah, and while I'm happy with mine I have several friends on this side with Russells that make her look like a piker.

my best terrier at the min is a jrt hes not the hardest terrier in the world but who wants a terrier thats gettig busted every dig i could dig this dog every day of the week and he will never let me down if you look at a couple posts down you will see see i dug 2 foxs with him today with out getting a eating imo its better

trouble today that people expect a russell to work like a patt or laky and compare them like wise. russels of my youth had a lot of fox sence and would use brain as well as bottle even the little short legged beggers where commonly worked. the bleeper has moved people slowly away from the good old lines in favour of harder dogs these days.it was nigh impossible to work the deeper earths with anything else.good small and rough stuff is still out there just needs finding.

its a big chance...dog could be off pure shit and is just a mericle which will throw shit...then again he could throw a few great workers...higher chance of workers if breeding off a dog with a line of workers

your right paddy, the dog could be a fluke but somehow i just dont think so,hes too good of a dog not to breed from so just going to give it a go,if his pups are half as good as him they would do just fine!!

Tyke,

 

The brown bitch was Lakeland / Russell from some good class local dogs, unfortunately she didn't make the grade and was nasty around the kennels. She was about 3 in that photo.

 

All the best,

 

Simmo.
