Guest tim Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Nipper you are a twat in the first degree - get a life . You just keep looking at those dogs of mine at shows cos 1) you will never own one and 2) they will be stood above yours - get used to it. I'm off to work Quote Link to post
pockets 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 As someone who knows nowt about Plummers perhaps someone can tell me which is the true one as i understand there is the PTA from which the 'great man'was expelled and the PTCGB which is the real Mccoy????? Quote Link to post
phil wright 2 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 NO-ONE CAN SAY WHAT IS THE REAL PLUMMER. THERE ARE TWO CLUBS WHICH CATER FOR THEIR MEMBERS. THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO JUST TRY AND WORK THEIR TERRIERS AND COULDNT GIVE A MONKEYS ABOUT THE CLUBS. Quote Link to post
thurso jack 3 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well said taffy, the little knowledge i do have on terriers is that bull blood has played a part in most of the breeds discussed in this forum at some stage in there history. Quote Link to post
lambro1966 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Jesus christ....what a load of shite !!!!!!!!If a dog goes to ground & sticks with its quarry until dug it could be bred by Bin Laden for all I care , Problem is though SOME plummer owners tote their dogs as TRUE working terriers , we all know what I mean by true working terriers dont we fella's......Not bushing or ratting(not knocking it as its good fun) as you can get any mongrel to do that to a lesser degree.......Now thats not to say that there are'nt good digging plummers about as there probably are but you are'nt gonna fight the corner of "working plummers" by posting pics of them in a show ring with a rosette as a pose to them being shown "in the ground".......Just my opinion before any ladies get thier knickers in a twist..... As for the original post I have heard of some cracking terriers with bull blood & if the introduction of bull blood improves a type , ie strength or hardness to a line that is starting to lack drive then good luck , if your digging to your terriers then what you do in a breeding programme is your buisness.......As long as your straight with anyone about bull blood used then they can make up there own mind........After all I think we are niave to think bull blood has'nt played a major part , allbeit generations back , in the creation of genuine diggin terriers....... agree with you Taffy how could you judge a worker without seeing him working ?? just don't care about showing ( even working breeds shows ) don't wanna hurt anyone.

thurso jack 3 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Having read two of plummers books i was of the understanding that he did a lot of digging in his earlier days but in his later days preffered ratting to digging hence his pursuit to breed a perfect ratting terrier, infact in his book omega he states he would not enter her to grond anymore as he valued her too much as a ratting terrier, and at the end of the day who can blame him for that?, horses for courses he preffered that and its his choice, he proved on many occasions his dogs were superior at ratting and im quite sure others could prove there dogs were better at foxing, but at the end of the day his dogs excelled at what he wanted them to do and if he put bull blood into them to acheive this then it cant be a bad thing??

Guest tim Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thank you Jack - no one is saying they are the best dogs ever, but they are very nice terriers, adaptable and versatile - not everyones cup of tea,so what ?, those who have them really enjoy them, and thats really what its all about. My contribution to the thread was purely because someone asked about introducing bull blood into terriers, and as we had spent a number of years working with plummer before his death - doing just that, introducing bull blood to a terrier gene pool and have continued to ever since, and with some sucess , I thought it may be of interest to some people - obviously not - however it was no big deal - I wouldnt have bothered if I'd have known it would end up in a slagging match . Still, despite all the criticism - I like them. The old ones are always the best eh? caveboy - you must be proud of that statement. I could always come back and say Plummer may not have been perfect but he was a far superior digger than Gould, .............................but I wont, then again its all 'armless' fun isnt it [/qu superior digger , would that be rats or mice then????? Hmmmm, by that statement you really have no idea have you :whistle: someone explain to him please............................. Rats - mice, whatever its all good fun or at least its supposed to be Quote Link to post
