Who do you admire?

[Str 793]

I’ve noticed that whoever’s name in the terrier world is mentioned on here it’s not long until folks start slagging them ,be it they have done no work, the dogs they have are stolen there books are are shite etc,so who is up there who do you rate? Ps you can’t nominate yourself.

What’s the saying, you can please some people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time.

Now you’re talking, such men are few and far between.

Anyone famous, is famous or in a book because they’ve strived to be and want attention Like what’s been said, anyone who keeps a family of dogs and works them to a high standard without making money out of it deserves respect.

I disagree on that Rob, would you rather there was no books? I would say the books I read about the older boys when I first started really gave me something to aim for, it’s also nice to read about old dogs and history to be down in black and white rather than lost.

The one who does not sell a pup to any young fella and fill him with lies about it's breeding just to get a a few quid.

Well done chevinfox it looks like there’s only you so far who holds another terrier man in higher regard than themselves.

So every terrier man? That sounds like a politicians answer.

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

In regard to your post further back I wouldn’t say that’s true STR, there’s plenty of present terrier lads that could be named but some might not want their name mentioned on here.

Looking in books when I was younger I always admired the dogs of Bill Brightmore and Ken Gould, also Harcombe’s dogs always looked well and he seemed to talk sensible and down to earth. Obviously there’s others that will say bad about the men mentioned but they’re the ones I looked up to when I began.
