smasher 1,055 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 seen as im on looking through old photos i thought id share with you a pic of snow my old russell,he truely was a good honest dog.all my and a freinds stuff is bred out of him,unfortunatly he died of suspected liver failiure a few years back.and as for the eye no dramatic stories im afraid thats what you get from years of earth work and not getting your eyes cleaned out properly.. What a great picture, full of character, was the dog from any particular line? Stevie just a local one to us,was a father daughter breeding I like the look of your russell mate,its hard to beat a good russell,keep russells and blacks myself but always liked the russels when you get a good one there hard to beat,ive recently bread some pups that are double bred to my old russell dog so fingers crossed Quote Link to post

spiderpig 39 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Great looking russell ,what age did he die at ,remember the bro getting a pup in 1990 of a father daughter breeding from a guy at weston park ,died at 5 month ,amazing sometimes how a litter can turn out .Good to see you can look back at old photo,s and enjoy and share the photo,s . i honestly couldnt tell ya but must be at least 6-7 years since..... fella called bob gibson bred him originaly,,just threw some stonking pups,,a good worker is one thing a good worker that throws it through the breeding is even harder Quote Link to post
