The working Russell

[big sid 1,127]

the thread is about russells which over the last twenty years even longer than that have been used as a dog for all quarry less and less, they are a far cry from the cork or deep south of irelands white terrier which i admire and are the equal of any terrier of any colour,btw a good dog cant be a bad colour.

Plenty of steady working coloured terriers, sadly plenty more rough and tumble,  same with any terrier, you can only piss with the dick you've got

Easier to be sold a hard coloured terrier than a baying white these days. Buts it’s all to do with peoples working style as most want weekend diggers 

a baying white maybe u have just never dug to a modem day Russel then

What happened to the bitch you were gifted.. pm if preferred? Any good?  2 brindle pups went to Scotland the same weekend of yours the 2 brothers who took them back were over in westmeath at a show and took 3 back I assume from previous picturesyou have posted it was the same pup. one brindle was dug out deceased on his 3 or 4th dig the week before I went to Scotland....and I dug his litter brother on his first dig when I was over. The Russell's  that I got from England were OK dogs... but not in the same league as the Cork stuff.

I enjoy working  ALL terriers of any colour or breed... I can even remember being out quite often with working fox terriers very early 90s... and they got fired work... but I'm not knocking any terriers... even a fair few Cork terriers don't make it ...

Nope mate that’s why I have 2 Russell’s a normal type and a big bully looking one from over Ireland

Have u got any better pics of him ? What height is he ? To be honest I wouldn’t have another terrier when this one goes but if I did it would just be a bolter and one that would come out after 5 mins and only go to fox Big ask but that’s the only type I’d want now

I will sort some mate but he is 15” and only good for bigger tubes, that is why I will always have the smaller type as well and I ain’t colour blind sticking to one type is all I will say

Get a good  bitch and you can use him at stud free if you need some different blood but big things like him aren’t the best at times

None taken as he would see mine working first and I would expect to see his before deciding if it would be worth it in the long run
