What books?

I really want a good book on working terriers, in particular fell/patterdales. I just wondered if anyone could recommend one?

 

Thanks,

I enjoyed THE WORLD OF THE WORKING TERRIER by david harcombe a decent read

badger digging with terriers by harcombe is good read .any darcy book is good and the working terrier yearbooks are good also

Apart from personal things anyone care to share why Frains books get so much stick.

politics and personality clashes, its so, so common. No other reason

Sean Frain is the new Plummer & hasn't got a clue about digging

He said its pointless keeping a dog that'll stay indefinitely as some of the crags are undiggable. Why put the dog in? Here's me thinking these lakelands were bred to kill foxes & capable of doing it. But he's happy for his terriers to do a few hours then come out. Would anyone consider breeding pups from dogs of this calibre? I bet he has.

to write a book about anything you usualy will have been there and done it,i could write books on the early years of my digging days no prob ,weather a will or not is anuder question,but have been there and done it ,when some one may have not things pop out at you in the things they write ,a hope you follow what a mean pip ?? .

Like Proudy says, some of the things Frain talks about go against the grain with true terrier men. But still, there not a bad read, as long as you know whats what! Massive respect for Harcombe and Darcy and Lucas, 100% genuine down to earth books.

Avoid Plummer, unless you like fairytales!!

Any thing by D harcomb in my eyes is a good read.
