THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE YOU CHOOSE WHEN A TERRIER FIRST SEES A PARTICULAR QUARRY IS TO KEEP IT ON A LEASH.I DO HARDLY ANY EARTHWORK BUT ALL MY YOUNGSTERS HAVE SEEN A FOX BY A YEAR OLD.IF YOUR OUT REGULARLY RATTING AND BUSHING IN WINTER ITS INEVITABLE IMHO

 

Good for you .The question is do plumbers make good earth dogs ,if given the chance,or are they too special to be worked in this way ?.After all, they are still terriers. ;)

Did the geat man breed away from earth going stock to create the best ratting dog alive or has the JRT influence ensured there is still the desire to do battle underground?

ps not a dig at anyone ,if you pardon the pun.

ive never had the oppertunity to work my terriers to ground often enough to know if they would make workers.i used to bang into a few foxes with them but it was usually just a quick bolt.on the rare occasion the fox stayed down we dug it out.my first terrier was a plummer/fell cross which would let the fox past and sat back too far when dug to.the two bitches we lost last year were far better quality and i wish they were still here.

 

they always did ok for me and if i could get those same pups today id get another one.you have to remember that mine were the old plummer type.they looked like plummers,were called plummers, but were different from what you get today.

 

the bickering about plummers bores the s**t out of me.i liked them and they suited my needs perfectly.

now i keep plummer/nuttall crosses.they lack the plummer nose which affects my hunting and two of them cant find a fox in a phone box :icon_redface:

i honestly dont know,as ive said i wasnt able to get enough work for them to show either way.

i know a couple of lads that claimed to use theirs regularly out with hunts but only have their word for it i never saw it myself.but that was at least ten years ago.

foxdropper i dont think anyone is using their plummer regularly to ground,and if thats the case then pups being produced arent from working stock so id say that NO THEY WOULDNT WORK WEEK IN WEEK OUT!!

May sound strange even daft but she looks too macho and well built for a plummer bitch...

 

Here have a dig at my dog and his daughter :D:D

The above BICTH Rosey is regsitered with the EPTR AND PTA as wyremead suzi bred from wyermead shoda (lacey ern x wyremead harlow) the sire is Wyremead BO by Wyremead Cereberus basically a purebred line and a good hunting line taboot. Must admit Im pleased with this line. very typey a litte bully headed perhaps but good enough. I would recomend Wyremead Ransum for the next generation, providing the nose voice is aparent in the field.

 

Its good to see Plummer terriers coming up everywhere..these look nice but not my type..
