Ok. They bred well? The pup i bought was off a black bitch and red dog. 2 year old now. Seemed like a canny fella tbh so is John tbag ? Or they two different people? Said he kept black stuff and switched to reds, know he judges and won a lot of shows. Heard we works them but a couple of people said they are only show. He said they work and was telling me about digs he's been on. Over the moon with the dog I've got his stuff 

He does work them mate don’t listen to most of the muppets on here who know him just because he shows them and works them and gets good money for them,He paid £5000 for a dog called vic off churchy but at the time Ian wouldn’t line anybody’s dogs for years as it worked out he was showing against himself.This went on for about 20yrs mate till Mousey bought vic.The way Mousey looked at it he wanted his money back some way or another so he lined and body’s bitches they brought to him for £100 a line which pissed Ian off.Mousey started chucking out some belter pups which was showing and winning against Ian’s stuff and worked,I bought a dog pup for my son off Mousey as he wasn’t keeping any out of the litter so I got 1st pick.6mths down the line my sons pup was winning everything and once he hit 10mths he had beet his dad 6 times which me and Mousey had a bit of banter over.I huffed plenty of people with this dog and he was 1 of the steadiest workers I’ve ever had and hard at the same time.I got more digs with him than I did my borders as they were to hard,I used to enjoy watching this lackland work cos of the way he was but like you say mate there is nothing wrong with a nice looking terrier to as well as a worker.Ive pmd you my number mate if you want to talk private atb just to add I’m sure I only paid £200-250 for my sons dog pup so wasn’t bad when it’s working good and beating it’s £5000 father.

Dizzy Mackem bought tyke for £5000 mate Mousey bought vic for £5000 2 different dogs,that’s why I stopped coming on this site like a lot of good lads cos nobody can get there stories straight and just crab other people.im not getting at you mate I’m to long in the tooth for shit that people get told the wrong things then it just escalates from there.Both dogs off Ian worked and were very nice lookers I’ve judged a good few over the years and as you know ya can tell what works and what doesn’t.The shit that comes out of people’s mouths when ya judging they must thing you have MUG wrote on ya forehead.But the way I look at things if you like what you see and you don’t mind the price that’s your preference not anybody else’s

My daughter has a young dog out of mouseys stuff, good looking pup, excellent coat and a strong dog. I have a 7 year old out of one of tbags dogs, only ever used for mooching about. Think there's photos on here of both.

I remember him buying a very smart bitch from S.Wales, bitch would do 20 mins top but was very smart

This is how churchy sold his 1st £5000 dog,dezzy was hounding Ian for tyke at the time it was all over the shooting news at the time and this dog couldn’t be beating he was thatsmart,but that dog tyke come from teabag and was a runt of the litter and was going to be topped until Ian said he would have him.It turned out to be the smartest looking thing and won loads of shows but was WORKED I just thought I would put that word in for the illiterate anyway dezzy decided he wanted this dog and wouldn’t leave Ian alone.It went on for that long he rang Ian from abroad as he drove the wagons and said Ian name your price,so Ian thought I will f**k him off her and said ok £5000 think that would shut dezzy up until dezzy said ok give me your bank details and I will send you the money.Ian thought shit as it was the last laugh on him so he had to sell tyke.Anyway dezzy said you don’t line anybody’s bitches and when I come to England and want to show him he is under my name but you keep the dog at your house.So come on lads who wouldn’t take that deal as you were only lining your own dogs anyway and showing him so who is the f***ing idiot.And that story came from the horses mouth but like I said why I hardly come on this site because of all the shit.

No problem mate but there is a lot of good lads fall out over dogs and it does my head in as you can probably tell I speak my mind and I’ve been all over the country digging and with Lurchers but I wouldn’t thank ya for another Lurcher now but I’m still keeping my borders but I’m not digging anymore because I’m dropping to bits but I’m far from stupid and I say what I have seen.I still use working stuff if I breed to keep it in them as I look for what’s still needed.I yous look on the Lurchers section all I used to run is deerhoundxs or good beddyxs and I have pics of lads names with there 1st starting point dogs.

[Netmaker 909]

A man we both know told our deceased friend and I at his kitchen table the dog was sent to Ireland but I believe you as you know churchy,Tbags and mousey better than the man who told us the story

Ya know what stories are like mate but like I said good lads fall out because of tittle tattle,Ian is a good lad and tells you the truth he has worked a lot of years on his terries and people slag him off because of the prices.He isn’t as dear as people make him out to be and would still sell you a pup for £200-250 just like the next man but just remember with most of them you won’t gets 1st or 2nd best looking but you will still get a nice terrier pup.

There is so much hypocrisy and genuine denial in the working dog world in regard to how much a dog's appearance plays in the type that we choose to keep. Even if showing them is the furthest thing from a person's mind the dogs that a person chooses to keep, the animals that you live with and see everyday is a type that you like the look of. What a dog looks like is probably only not important to workers of working sheep dogs and guide dogs.
