Guest flint Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) just got a gould bred bitch and 2 pyups gould bred goin back to the smithy lines wondered if any one can give me any info on the line thanks hard to get any info on smithy lines he died i think in 1984 . famous picture of him with gouldy can be found on net . one hell of a working dog you`d have to get names of parents grand parents and name the breeder to get any whr cant be much true smithy stuff around ?

axle 63 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Alot of working terriers have Smithy in their blood somewhere, just depends what you class as being bred down from Smithy ie Spartacus mated alot of bitches and produced alot of pups and he had Smithy in his blood.

Guest flint Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 more likely, spartacus was a well used stud - seen advertised as spartacus lines rather than smithy . Quote Link to post
axle 63 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Strange really when you look at the pedigrees of the good dogs, it's the strong dam lines that jump out at you but people rarely mention the bitches that produced the good dogs. Quote Link to post
