Books by: J.Darcy,J.Broadhurst,Dave Harcombe,Sean Frain,D.Plummer or any others that may be informative on the working,history etc. of earthdogs,Particularly Fell,Patterdale,Lakeland or others.

Not looking for anyone to sideline anybody,just some good reading. Thnx

Hunt and working terriers by Lucas a good book even though it's a old one ,fell terrier by Plummer got to be the best book on fell terrier ever wrote in my opinion.

Strong dogs of old I gave my pal and giving my nephew down the beam by Darcy to get him started. Darcy books are decent but not for me either

I find with any of these terrier/lurcher books once you have read a few they all seem the same no matter who wrote them.

At least Darcy’s books are written by a lad who been there and done it .Some of the books appear as said ,regurgitated from chats with other lads .You need to take some of it with the proverbial pinch of salt though as some authors arnt what they pertain to be .

Some have stolen pics and written shite that dosnt add up .Need to take a bit from each but treat none as a bible .Frains artwork though ,cringe,cringe ,cringe .

I remember Darcy’s book on NS and spoke to Darcy about it at the time .He just printed what he was told but like others  said at the time some of it just could not be true .Timelines and places might of been obscured for reasons but some of it was just pure fantasy .
