Bill was one of the true greats of the working terrier world.

He used to come for one or two days a season with me when i was terrier man for the Jedforest Hunt twenty odd years ago. One day i can remember was we had a good hunt on a fox and put it to ground in a big place. The Master asked for it to be bolted, Bill offered to put a bitch in and after about ten minutes Bill turned round to the Master and said you might as well draw on for another fox sir! Master said why is that then Bill. Bill turn round and said cos this buggars dead now sir! So off they went and after two hours digging we found a dead fox and Bill,s bitch.

Just one of many stories about Bill. Had some great dogs of the big man.

they can say what they want mate people like that would cause an argument in an empty house just for the sake of it lol for once could anyone with any input not react when one of the idiots adds a coment from space please everyones opinions are welcome but the armchair hunters please refrain from adding comments as no one is really interested in them this thread is for working dog enthuesiasts and people with a geniune interest in the breed

[Guest fell terrier]

the last ste of picture i put up were of bills sires sister tiger and the pup is bred the same way the btch is an honest thing that has served me well and the pup is showing a lot of promise he started off slow but last weekend really shone and found where two dogs had failed in a big spot we dug him out after three hours stuck to his quarry his first real test and he did it with style his brother started of a lot better getting straight into gear no messing and digging some tough spots where i have personally seen some good dogs fail this next season will see if they can keep in up but with a decent rest between hard digs and i think both pups will be as good as the rest fingers crossed like i told john i have a few carrying the same line to your old bill and if you ever wanted a line you are welcome to it tiger it always seem to be yer good ens you lose lost one in a rock spot a few year ago absolutley gutted a good hard bitch you cant win em all
