EPTR 4 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Nice backtrack about the wee pup,but i read it first time. RE the breed-like i said a simple "dont know" is sufficient, No lecture required Does make you think though-how can claims be made about this, that or the other dog not being a plummer if no one knows when they came into existence!! LOL. :search: post up my back track Bill..as i cant see where ive done this. Like i said i had'nt intentionally sent a pup down a mink hole! Well i could actuly go through my 21 diares and hundreds of regsitrations and put a more precise date on it but im not going to. Like i said before the anwswer would bring insite the likes of your post. You could argue untill the kc recognise it in the next few years..untill then its a mongrol. Type and Breed differnt things generaly a type comes before a breed. So bill was politts rocky or rupert a breed of terrier ? Was vandal part of a breed?

wirral countryman 2,110 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Glen,you assume too much about me and terrierwork,lets re-cap,I was given my first 2 plummer's by brian himself around 1980 to test on all quarry,this I did and they were found wanting, too small with mousey heads as I've said before,they tried to rush in and get it all over within 15mins and would come out bitten to hell,I bred the size up with a black 100%nuttall dog and this produced some proper worker's of the right sort of size that you could dig to,over the next ten years they served me well and I bred about 8 litter's of pups off brians original bitches trying different working stud dogs to see what they produced,I even tried to get a stud off brian but all his stock was either to big or he was too busy with writing books,he sent me to see some fat woman by ruthin,N.wales to line a bitch but they were all nearly as big as her,absolute monster's at least16"plus,and as I kept other proper digging dogs with no plummer blood in them I let the plummer crosses come to their natural end.Testing your stock is part of breeding,how else do you improve it?why do you think the plummer type and size has changed so much down the year's?there's no use producing a large showpony that can't get to ground or is bad tempered,any improvement is a step in the right direction.I never owned a plummer again till 7yrs ago when I met Andy from rhyl through my mate who owned a Curtis price dog(too hard),I bought a dog as they were a nice litter and hard worked, my little fella has been a good hard working dog but is getting tired after a hard day's graft now and thats why I bought the bitch,if I can improve my stock,I will,I've never kept a non-worker or jibber,that goes for terrier and lurcher,or hawk for that matter.Why the intrigue as to my identity?surely we all have an avatar and password to avoid hassle from the anti's,lots of people on here know me and I have taken quite a few lads out off this site,they've seen my dogs work on different farms and estates and some have bought plummer's on the strength of it,most have seen my photo's of dogwork kept since the 70's,so there is no secret in my identity,as for being biased thats wrong as well,if your stock is as good as you say lets try it,trial me a small bitch to fully test,come and see me,look at my photo's taken of my dogs and you will see I am a fair bloke with a lot of experience,I won't hold my breath though,atb,wirralman Quote Link to post

stormyboy 1,352 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Precise early date ..impossible IMO...but dare i suggest when the defintion could easly been applied once or twice ..once with vipers stock and secondly with cerbys stock.

As ive said before I make no pretence about being a big time breeder,just tried to produce a few decent working plummer-types,if you must,terriers with what was available,no more ,no less. I gave it up due to work commitments. "a likely story says i" I think was your quote regarding this. Based on what? You know nothing about me. You also presume i dont work. Based on what?

rushty 1 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Got maself barred from the WPT site , which broke ma heart LOL. Any way , just a little post to say that IMO ( which probs means nowt to any one) , however I will still post any way. Plummer Terriers are , to the general publc nowt more than Jack Russells ( wish I had a kwid for every one who said "nice little dog , is it A Jack Russel., so that says a lot in my opinion. However we know better , as this breed is a tad more important than a small dog mated to a small dog that has its tail docked, which can be called Jack Russel. I had a part bred Plummer many years ago and it was out standing as a little ratter , infact it was a nice little dog . That was my first connection with the breed. My next was while at work ,a fellow worker showed me his stock and amongs them a smashing little bitch Plummer , though it was "AN OUT CROSS", whhich meant fecck all then as it does today. Any how many years laterI was lucky enough to get a puppy from that bitch. To cut a long story short . that said,the little bitch I managed to get has proved herself many times over and as a worker , IMO she is brill. Any how a guy I know called PUP, here is a message...... I hate falling out with people mate , If I see you somewhere mate I will be the first to buy you a pint , and ya wife . Any hows , keep the thread goin as it cant be nowt else but good for the breed Quote Link to post

This is about WORKING Plummers after all. viper stock stock being the word not viper himself...(like i said anyone takes the bait on that question is in for it) Hectors one red and white bicth from 6 "penny " doubt the breed defintion applies here one out of 6 pups. IMO nor the kc's acttuly. F1 2 s Bill you say there were "few plummers about at the time "as Bill there were no plummers about at the time but you say they were as brian bred them so they must be ( so mine must be welsby terriers then ) .... i say they were types. Get over it as you like to say. Which you say you have no problem with ..good as its true they are breed and then they were types glad you agree. Pup was an exercise in watching reactions on here and as said was not intentionally "put to a mink "doh! Toby lost to ground ..before used ..typical working terrier attitude work first the legend dies briliant dog left nothing behind ..er now what..nowt in reserve not even a single insurance litter ??? Life story stroke rant not required.Not intersted in how you make a living now (though once a plaster i believe) though i have found since more about you than you think billy So we are in the same trade ishh.. as pest controll is part of my job seven days a week too and have been for 15 years ..SO WHAT! Glad you have got this off your chest its seems like forever you have had to have a pop perhaps you will stop baiting me now when i disagree but after all forums are for this arn't they?

"Typical working terrier attitude",you really that stupid to not know it's called testing your stock and seeing if it's worth breeding from and imo it does make you look a proper twat saying such things on a working terrier topic glen.
