Not quite as popular as they was couple year back are they

[grompz 703]

often thought about getting one, for bushing and doing a bit of ferreting with, not had any experience of seeing them at work first hand though, talking to a few lads who have worked them, been told they are excellent at the job they were bred for ratting,but for bushing they told me, that plummers will shy away from real heavy cover, sustain lots of bleedin from ears and skin is not great on them tears easy,would they be steady enough to train to work with ferrets and maybe a bit of gun work.

Hunted cover, worked with ferrets and to ground with mine. Break them early and they're fine with ferrets, like any dog. Mine went beating too. If there's something in there they'd find it.

Love the little dogs .are they still true plumbers about ?

Seen some work great little mooching dogs great in cover. Suited more for mooching about than heavy work loads imo.

My mate used to have mother and daughter plumber terriers, hands down the best dogs in cover I had ever seen.

We pushed tons out of tight gorse bank sides
